Carolena Mátus Voice Studio
Specializing in vocal mechanics and artistry.
Encouraging your talent and musical
self-confidence to grow in a safe,
supportive environment.
" . . . even though a singer may have a profound understanding of musical style, an imaginative temperament that can serve as a vehicle for artistic expression and a vocal instrument of promise, these positive attributes cannot be perceived by the listener if the mechanics of technique are faulty. It is not enough for the singer to have something to say; the means for saying it with ease must be present. An understanding of physical function may make the difference between the emergence of a solid technique of singing and a lifelong struggle with the mechanics."
~Richard Miller from "The Structure of Singing"
Do You Love to Sing?
Do you want to sing?
Love to sing?
NEED to sing?
Have you always wanted to sing? Are you a beginner who understands the importance of a strong foundation? Perhaps you have some singing experience, but now realize that you bypassed that all-important foundation (i.e., "vocal mechanics") and are experiencing problems or find that you are unable to progress any further as a result? Has the absence of vocal training undermined your musical self-confidence?
The question that remains is ... Do you have the drive and desire to succeed – and with expert guidance – work to make your voice the very best that it can become? If the answer is "Yes!" we can meet to discuss where you are now and where you wish to be.
Before our initial meeting, please take the time to seriously contemplate, "What are my vocal challenges? What would I like to accomplish? Am I experiencing vocal strain or pain? Do I need artistic/creative direction? Am I lacking in musical self-confidence? Experiencing fear? What has thus far stopped me from being the singer that I've always desired to become?" The answers to these and other questions will help me to assess your specific vocal needs.
