For over 10 years
Guido Bernard has fokussed on voice training, on voice physiology and on
building up technical skills with beginning and already practising
singers, speakers and actors. He has special attention on the voice-physiological
connections between function and influenceability of the voice-quality
through sense and innermuscular sense. |
Primary is the
provable order of the voice-physiological systems with which one can steer
intentionally for every tonal and artistic (!!!) result, without having
to go back to assumptions is in the foreground.
The proovability
of this order is content of the lessons,so that a tool is given to the
practising singer, into its hand, after successful lessons, which enables
one, to him to independently recognize voice-physiological problems and
develop "cure routines" when required, to break loose of dependency of
permanent supervision and continuous teaching. In the partial contrast
to other teaching directions/opinions purpose and exact sequence of the
movements of the exercises that are appropritate for the voice are explained
in every detail to the student and with practical exercises will be taken
to precise and complete understanding. Unnessessary to say, that both the
whole person and the whole body are always included in the production
of the tone. So this training is not for singers who want to experience
their voice only intuitively.
Basis of his school
is "What I do not understand - I do not have "!
His voice of course
has about all skills which he also teaches,so that the student gets simply
through adaptive imitation alone already gets a basic sense of singing.
In this aspect there is no difference to other kind of teachings.
G. Bernard has profund
knowledge about the order and the systems, as well as all the physiological
conections and context, and can also lay them out clearly, and get the
student to understand them, with lot´s of patience. Primarily he
declines to one-sidedly have the voice “sing nicely” , but rather insists
on a vocal organ, that is tonally versatile and trained thoroughly in all
possible skills. For him the voice is first “physical” and only second
“metaphysial”. The voice is only allowed to sing talentedly when i has
all possible tools available to produce differetiated forms of expressions.
This takes us automatically to voice training, which one should generally
put in front of the singing lessons.
