The initial sound therapy session results in an individual program based on diagnostic voice analysis, which graphs the notes of the voice. This work can also be supported by methods such as sound healing with toning and tuning forks, breathwork, color therapy, and therapeutic yoga. Individual sessions are advisable for receiving the full health benefits of sound therapy and/or improving the voice.

Subsequent sessions are useful as support in practice of sound therapy methods or as sound-healing sessions with tuning-fork therapy. After working with the exercises for 2 months, a follow-up voice analysis is recommended. See Photos for pictures of a private session.

The first lesson includes an analysis of how the voice creates each individual tone, together with exercises for balancing the tones with each other. An evaluation of the respiration is important because breath must be a balanced equilibrium between the inhale and the exhale. The voice rides on the breath to express feelings to the outside world. Many problems related to singing – and speaking – can be eliminated by proper breathing.

Other physical aspects, such as the position of the larynx, will also be explored to create a comfortable singing experience. Each lesson incorporates the 3 Rs of sound therapy: relax, release, and regenerate the voice. At the end of the session, you will receive your Voice Analysis and Sound Therapy Plan. If you take the Soul Type listening test at www.newequations.com, you can purchase a custom RA Version CD for that type (1-9).

SPEAKING: An analysis of the voice frequencies and the breathing technique are the first steps in balancing and strengthening the speaking voice. Clients often report distinct improvements in their self-confident ability to speak after just one session. Lessons on a regular basis can create dramatic, lasting changes. Each lesson incorporates the 3 Rs of sound therapy: relax, release, and regenerate the voice.

SINGING: if you are a non-singer, you can learn to sing using the voice-analysis method and breathwork! If you are an experienced singer, you can optimally develop your voice with the Tune Your Voice method. In addition to improving your sense of pitch, this approach will expand your range, flexibility, vocal timbre, projection, resonance, and expressiveness. Please bring a song that you would like to work on to the first lesson.
