Vocal Transformation is a modern approach to an ancient method to fully claim the range and resonance of your voice while opening up your connection to the creative that flows through you. It blends the spiritual and the scientific to produce profound results in opening up the full capacity of the human voice.

In the quantum field everything is energy and all energy holds a specific frequency. According to ancient spiritual texts, the human voice is defined as “un-manifest form”. Within the frequency of our voice lives the power of Creation and understanding how to use that power, gives you dominion over the realm.

Scientifically speaking, the range and effectiveness of our voice depends on what resonators we are using to express with.  The resonators of the voice range from the root to the crown through the chakra system. Although most commonly referred to in spiritual practices, the chakra system is actually the electricity running through our bodies. Each “chakra” is anatomically present as a group of nerve endings(called ganglion) along the spinal column that create an electromagnetic field. The voice can be used to stimulate the nerves and awaken the body’s intelligence. There are many benefits to this practice both physical and spiritual(creative). This is a process of awakening the full intelligence working within the human form and with that, the full range of the human voice. The average human has access to an 8 octave range and the ability to imitate anything within audible range. The only thing that stands in the way of that range, is the mind.

The human voice is the souls dynamic life urge for truthful expression.  Our early childhood development creates the psychology through which our voice functions. Vocal transformation is a process of deprogramming that opens the channel for spirit to once again drive the creative process and for the practitioner to reclaim their fullest expression and most powerful voice.
