Very often you think that you perform one song better than another because there is a mindset “I like it more” . I prefer to say , you like it more , but also, your prefrontal cortex works 2-3 times more efficiently when you like something. Hence , you motivate yourself and as a result the default system of your brain is activating much more of available resources .. Moreover, the trio “mind- muscle system- nervous system” is in a much better coordination ..Some people say “ it’s my vibe”… But there is obviously, more to the story. What is also astonishing, that emotionally wise, we are involved on a very different level and we start actually, to perform.
Please go through your songs.. Try to understand which indeed truly touches you..Take all those songs to your singing lessons. Make sure that you build up portfolio of at least 3 slow songs and 3 fast songs…
There is a strong connection between “ I really like the song” and your great performance. Explore it!
I am happy that my pupil Marco debuts with his first single “Satisfaction”, produced by a Warner Music partner.

Marco is a singer/songwriter and composer born in Barcelona, Spain. Profesionaly trained as a chef, Marco has seen excellence in some of Europe’s Capitals finest 3 michelin starred restaurants. But he always felt like music was his biggest passion.
A fresh aproach on lifetime classics with a native music influence and a latin groove, satisfaction is just the first step of his career. Asking himself if the way we concieve love is necessarily the only one. Past memories and heartbreaks end up beeing a part of who we become.
The videoclip, filmed in the beautiful Barcelona, showcases some of the most emblematic spotlights of the city. Starring the spanish actress Carmen Antón, it is a song easy to vibe to in any relaxed ambiance.
Now working on his first album and planning the next single, make sure to stay in tuned in for what is yet to come!

It was a great pleasure to help Marco during our vocal coaching sessions to bring his voice to a new level.
I am absolutely convinced that for classical singers it’s really important to build up a good foundation of vocal technique, breathing, sound projection, vocal attack, coloratura, phrasing and many other technical tools. Undoubtedly, one of the best ways to achieve this goal is to practice vocal exercises or so called, vocalises during your singing lessons.
Here below, I have listed links to the vocal exercises/ vocalises which are most popular and efficient in the world of classical singing. Please have patience and explore them while you are on the path of making your voice better. Some of them are written for low voices, some of them are written for high voices. Some can be applied to any voice.
First of all, don’t rush, take step-by-step, make yourself familiar with the melody, find vocal accompaniment online, nowadays it’s so easy, for example, on YouTube. Secondly, Try to listen to other singers who are singing the same piece.
Finally, I assure you that after singing 4 to 6 exercises, you will start to gain confidence, sensation of security and good sound projection. Additionally, you will start to extend your musical horizons, because , normally, vocalises are written in different tempo, with different vocal range (normally, it’s becoming bigger, once you are progressing)etc. If you want to make your singing lessons indeed efficient, trust me, vocalises are extremely important.
