The Vocal Science™ Method: Non-Surgical Approach - Holistic Diagnostics.

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 22:57:00 +0000

Natural and Alternative Treatments and Rehabilitation for most Voice Problems, Vocal Issues and Voice Disorders.

Over 41 years, the estimated amount of speech/singing students and voice repair clients who passed through our doors is now over 30,000 and counting... Lately, though, our business, which once was mostly known for its professional voice/vocal coaching, became 90 percent about Non-Surgical Voice Repair.

Why is that; you, my reader, may ask? Because people nowadays became extremely stressed, thus totally out of balance; and moreover, effected by losing their employment, their trade, their purpose in life and, given all of the above, their relationships and marriages, to put it mildly.

Due to all of these, those people (in general) acquire a dysfunctional thyroid - which, in holistic teaching, represents suppressed emotions…. Also, some of them, due to anger they’ve adopted because of the unforeseen situations, developed a problem with their liver - which also (as known in holistic teaching) represents suppressed anger.

Many of those people also developed problems with their heart, as the heart, due to all of the problems systematically bombarding them, could no longer maintain its proper function. The fact is that all of the above may have been caused by what has been happening domestically and in the world at large.

To be able to survive such “turbulence and tribulations", those effected people became “locked-in” within themselves. They, unfortunately, became, so to speak, “digitized”; and thus their brains became somewhat “frozen” in a manner of speaking. Nevertheless, they have been heavily relying on digital media - and, as a consequence, they have been looking for “instant gratification”; and thus, for the immediate answers - regardless if such answers were presented to them “under the right or the wrong light”.

I have to say that in my long years of practice, I have never seen such completely (mentally, emotionally and even more so, physically) unfit people. They literally cannot “walk and chew the gum at the same time”… to save their lives! How pathetic is that..? As you, my reader, already know, the voice is the expression of who you are - and, nonetheless, the identification of the state of your being…

Now you probably can draw a picture in your mind what I have to deal with to put the described-above people back in balance - as if I don’t do that first, I will never be able to access their deeply-buried, damaged voice.

In Russia, we had a saying: “In a healthy body lives a healthy spirit”. And those of you who have read a lot of my previously-written blogs and articles (not to mention my two books), already know that my definition of the human voice is equivalent to the definition of the human spirit… So my duty is to discover and uncover your spirit, i.e., your voice, and then "make it fly with the ease of the Eagles” - and as high as to the Universe, where the sky is the limit…!

As you, my reader, could already guess, my very first duty is to collect all possible relevant history about the life of the voice repair client. Once I know all the facts and pinpoint the cause of such occurrence (various voice disorders, voice loss, etc), I can conduct what I call a holistic diagnosis. Then, and only then, I will achieve success with my very unique and, nonetheless, revolutionary Vocal Science™ method.

Evidently, Vocal Science™ method consists of extremely unique voice/vocal technique - coupled with natural herbal and some homeopathic treatments.

The above mentioned natural treatments are very instrumental in any non-surgical voice repair.

With all of the described human problems, the voice mechanics of those effected people would be very-much-so prone to seizing… In such cases, I would need to teach the clients with voice issues a completely new application of their speaking and singing voice. Once we discover and uncover their compromised voice, we need to bring it to the surface - and then lift it off of the vocal box and off of the vocal cords and larynx. However, easier said than done… I couple my vocal technique with certain body language and body movements. It does require some walking (nonetheless on tippy toes) with the certain use of the arms.

If you remember, my reader, nowadays, almost nobody can “walk and chew the gum at the same time”. So my main task (much before accessing the voice) is to establish a physical fitness and interconnect it with the mental/intellectual command.

So this is a schematic for you:

The brain gives the command to the motor skills, and then it accesses the voice as an outcome of the equation.

For a fact, If the correlation between all of those components is broken, the voice will never get intact.

We are also talking here about the alignment between the subconscious mind, conscious mind, physical body and, and a result, a healthy and vibrant voice.

In other words, it is an integration and synergy between the mental, emotional, physical and vocal components.

Nevertheless, I work with the client on a cellular level which, along with the mental, physical and emotional components, requires a kinesthetic feel… With that said, intellectually, the client has to understand exactly what’s going on - and kinesthetically, they will have to sense and feel the outcome of such action.…

It is definitely “not for the faint of heart”, as our prominent Toronto newspaper “The Toronto Star” once said. I agree that it is definitely a challenge; but, on the other hand, it does activate all of the human senses: mental, physical, emotional and, nevertheless, vocal components....

To conclude:

Needless to say, we are first and foremost working on the person as a whole in order to achieve the greater and (if I may say so myself) unprecedented results - using alternative methods while, concurrently, naturally and holistically solving various voice/vocal problems!

Could Vocal Talent Alone Assure Your Vocal Performance Career For Life?

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 01:37:00 +0000

Evidently Not...

It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?

Let’s analyze what has been happening in the last few years and, nevertheless, recently:

Majority of our very talented artists had experienced vocal problems in one-way or another.

A lot of them had undergone vocal operations:

Adele
John Mayer
Joan Rivers
Megan Trainor
Sam Smith
Roger Daltrey
Steven Tyler
Keith Urban
Michael Buble

And that’s to name a few…

All of the above-listed people are talented artists, but obviously, the majority of them had been lacking the proper vocal technique; and thus, they ended up having vocal issues (and some of them more serious than others).

Could they have avoided the interruption of their professional lives, careers, joy and monetary loss?

No doubts they could - They just could have been more attentive to the technical aspects of their craft and not just rely on their talents and love for music.

Could you imagine a figure skater trying to jump a triple or quad not knowing what it consists of and, moreover, not having proper muscle training assuring that the physical body could withhold the weight of the landing of such jump?

Also, if you think of ballet dancers who work at the bar at least 4 to 8 hours a day, would you imagine them doing ‘pirouettes’ and "Pas de Deux" wearing point-shoes and having no prerequisite with regards to what they are doing?

In this case, serious injuries would, no doubt, occur.

They, nevertheless, have to be able to keep their whole body weight on those toes of theirs.

That means that their balance has to be unshakable, their point-shoe techniques have to be immaculate and their ballet elements (separately and in correlation), have to be ‘on point’. (no pun intended)

So where do the singers come with the idea that the technical aspect of using their voices properly and efficiently does not necessarily need to be embraced?

Lately, it has been all about the show and showmanship.

For example there have been about a $40,000,000 dollar stage built for Bono’s performance.

With that said, basically, everything had been in place to cover up the inadequacy of true vocal performance.

How sad is that? Very sad, indeed!

If our truly talented artists possessed a proper vocal technique, which would protect and save their voice for life, we would not be hearing (unfortunately, quite often) on the news about the next upcoming vocal surgery of the next pop-star.

Go figure!

Vocal Science™ Method: Let's, my reader, find out what's so scientific and even "magical" about it...?

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:43:00 +0000

Vocal Science™ Method:

Let's, my reader, find out what's so scientific and even "magical" about it...?

The above title is regarding human voice enhancement and voice restoration - concerning both the speaking and the singing voice...

It's a revolutionary method which checks "every box" along the process, and it positively also doesn't leave any "stones unturned".

Ever since 1984, we've been receiving people who wanted to learn how to sing, complying with standards of professional singing, or sometimes even just for their own pleasure.

Regardless, they did not want to feel the discomfort while doing it or even worse, damage their vocal anatomy while at it.

So the Vocal Science™ Method contains in itself a very innovative and, nonetheless, revolutionary voice/vocal technique.

This technique allows any singer, and of course, a speaker (professional or amateur) to save and protect their voice for a lifetime.

The core of this technique (powered by Vocal Science™ Method), is to "lift" the voice of off the vocal box and the vocal cords in particular, and restructure it to a completely different set of muscles--facial muscles.

Those facial muscles will harbour the sound of the voice and nevertheless, will amplify that sound quadruple times over.

But the above will only be possible if those facial muscles will begin to work in full conjunction and coordination with the abdominal muscles, which in turn will support that lift of the sound of the voice, and moreover, will allow the speaker/singer to eliminate the harmful use of their lower throat, larynx and vocal cords.

In this instance, the above will protect that vocal anatomy from the harmful pressure of the unwanted (basically toxic) sound.

That is the core of the Vocal Science™ Method and its innovative technique.

However, my reader, it is easier said than done...

Even if you understand it in theory, you will never be able to implement it by yourself.

"It's like anything genius; it sounds fairly simple, but not easy at all."

That was actually a saying of one of my long time former student.

To implement (instill) this quite complex mechanism takes a lot of effort from the mentor and, of course, the recipient (student/client).

It requires an integration and synergy between mental, physical, emotional, and vocal component.

Without this wholesome mechanism, so to speak, the voice will never "take off" and, thus, the "flight" will never happen; and most likely the inevitable crash will occur.

In my book, "Vocal Science - Flight to the Universe"--first published in the year 2000, there are a lot of references (and pictures) illustrating many aspects of life.

One of them is talking about airplanes.

One of the pictures showing the airplane taking off "with the airport" (in a manner of speaking) and not of off the airport.

That is a reference to the person who is trying to speak and sing very loudly from their lower throat and thus quite often straining all the vocal anatomy belonging to the vocal box...

When the plane takes off it has to acquire certain height while gradually climbing, acquiring the needed altitude.

It definitely will not happen trying to take off while, so to speak, trying to take the airport along with them.

Then the trained pilots have to have a clear map to where they're going.

In the case of the speaker or singer, the Vocal Science™ Method coupled with its innovative technique, provides that very map on how to take off, how to get right altitude to fly safely, and how to land successfully in designated destination.

That is only one of the numerous examples provided in that book, "Vocal Science - Flight to the Universe."

As we said at the beginning: It's a revolutionary method which checks "every box" along the process, and it positively doesn't leave any "stones unturned".

We pay attention to the minutest details while making sure that we will create a "solid foundation" for you and your voice to thrive on--and then, nevertheless, by using our common efforts, we will build your voice, knowledge, confidence and stamina--in order to help you to survive with all of the above for many years ahead....!!!

Vocal Science Methodology / Innovative Voice Solutions!

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 02:30:00 +0000

Vocal Science Methodology / Innovative Voice Solutions!

Why did we call it "Innovative Voice Solutions" you, my reader, may ask.

Because there is no other method and technique which is designed to save, protect, and concurrently enhance, not only their human voice, but also themselves.

This revolutionary method with its "powering" technique gets implemented in the person's vocal anatomy, physiology, and no doubt, psychology, where in turn, all of the above provide them with a newly found confidence...

This is a holistic, natural, and nevertheless, non-surgical voice repair approach to the voice and of course, the person's entire being.

Our credo: "We do not treat just the voice. We treat the person with the voice problem(s) or the vocal issue(s)."

We become personally engaged with the sufferer...

The above is possible when we know what makes that person and their voice "tick", so to speak.

It becomes much easier to tune in to their psyche, and thus it helps not only with their voice, but also in all other aspects of their health and well-being.

Examples:

Cedric H. of Paris, France was suffering with Sulcus Vocalis for 3 years before he met us and underwent our Vocal Science™ program.

When he first got in touch with us, he revealed that he could not last more than 5 minutes speaking and in the middle of it, was losing his voice at all times.

He is a serial Entrepreneur and owns a lot of businesses across the world.

Needless to say, he needs his voice in order to operate those businesses...

AND NOW HE HAS GOTTEN IT!!

Please see below Cedric's most recent message to us over the Christmas Holidays:

"Hi Diana,

Since the end of October, I have been on an amazing streak.

My voice is good and holds.

So, overall getting back my life!

Thank you for your support and checking on me.

Wishing you and Vlad the best Holiday Season!"

- Cedric H.

Cedric had suffered from Sulcus Vocalis for 3 years, as nobody was able to rectify it.

That definitely affected his business, as he lost confidence in presentations and never knew when his voice was going to disappear.

Here is his story and experience at The Royans School/Institute in his own words:

“My name is Cedric and I come from France.
I was diagnosed with Sulcus Vocalis about 3 years ago.
Slowly but surely, my voice started to fade off and I called Diana in September because my voice went totally off.
She found space in her busy schedule and I made my way to Canada.
I went from pretty much 20% of a voice to around 90% of a voice, which makes me today very happy.
I know that there is still some progress ahead of me, but I learned a strong foundation thanks to Diana.
I was close to going for surgery and thanks to Diana's technique, I am happy to say that I avoided this severe treatment.
I am looking forward to heading back home and being able to work and enjoy some time with loved ones.
So again, thanks to Diana and her team for having me in Canada.
It was not easy.
It was a long 40 hours of training and treatment, but it was all very worth it.
I look forward to some maintenance in the future and coming to visit you.
So I thank you Diana.”

5 weeks after the protocol of the 40-hour course and treatment ended, Cedric sent us an update on his voice condition saying:

Cedric: "Here is my last video. I hope you like it.

MY VOICE HAS BEEN AMAZING SO FAR!"

See his full video here on Youtube.

Next up, please witness Mark S. an executive of Southwest Airlines in Texas.

Mark came to us with a history of long COVID, after which he acquired lung(s) problems and thus also breathing problems.

Nevertheless, he mysteriously acquired a problem with his pelvic floor.

And, of course, a problem with his voice, which was diagnosed as Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) disorder.

45 Hours later, Mark left completely cured, not only with his voice but also with those additional health problems that he came to us with originally.

Please see his message below:

"Hey Diana,

Happy Holidays.

My voice is doing ok - definitely not as much tension as it was (continuously) before. Give my regards to Vlad."

- Mark S.

Please see his video sitting in our studio and spilling out his now healthy voice and healthy emotions after 10 days (45 hours of our unique instruction coupled with intake of select herbal and some homeopathic remedies):

And now, my reader, our story unravels further...

Vocal Science Method was "conceived" many years ago, but was born many years later.

After it was tested, proved and tried on many clients!

In the year 2002, it was ready to be revealed to the public -- including the Government of Canada.

It was a total success as the trademark for the Vocal Science Method was granted by the very Government of Canada.

It became recognized worldwide and earned the icon "TM".

Vocal Science™ Method is a natural, holistic, and most importantly non-surgical voice repair method, which proudly has been included in our name ever since!!

It had been presented to people also worldwide, sometimes with over 300 to 500 attendees...

Needless to say, the Vocal Science™ Method became largely known throughout the whole world.

It's innovative voice/vocal technique is like no other, and as a few clients have repeatedly said, "Definitely nothing short of a miracle!"

It's saved many peoples' voices, careers, jobs, and nonetheless, even relationships...

Revolutionary Approach to Voice/Vocal Coaching and Non-Surgical Voice Repair Using Forensic Science

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 04:25:00 +0000

Revolutionary Approach to Voice/Vocal Coaching and Non-Surgical Voice Repair Using Forensic Science -- Powered by Vocal Science™ Method

Forensic Teaching, Voice Coaching, and Natural Treatments for Various Voice Disorders

My name is Diana Yampolsky, and my title is Forensic Vocal Science Educator.

The Royans Professional Vocal School, since 1984 for the last (at least) over 30 years had turned to the Royans Institute for Non-Surgical Voice Repair, advocating forensic voice/vocal science.

And since then, myself and my team, had been advocating not just Vocal Science™ Method, but what I call now forensic vocal science/voice vocal technique.

The fact is, that, nonetheless, we are paying a very close attention to the minutest details of anatomy of voice and psychology of voice performance.

That is why, I consider myself a Forensic Science educator.

My team and I are advocating natural non-surgical treatments, while using the holistic approach to voice mechanics and to the person as a whole.

We don't leave "any stones unturned," and thus, going for the cause of the matter -- while not addressing just the symptoms...

Once we identify the voice problem or vocal issue, using what we call THE forensic science approach, we are able to find the best course of action to rectify anything concerning the human voice.

We also are using the finest natural herbal and some homeopathic remedies to supplement our revolutionary approach to voice mechanics.

For example...

Let's suppose that the car had gotten into a collision and then was addressed to be towed to the body shop...?

I'm actually talking about my own very expensive car that was hit by a 300 pound "white-tail deer" which somehow, ended up on my windshield...

When my husband and I called our insurance we, to my big surprise, were directed to a body shop instead of a car mechanic's shop...?

When I somehow made it to my house with all the lights up and hood up, my husband and my assistant who were witnessing it all, were both in shock, to put it mildly...!

How come my car was addressed to the body shop instead of car mechanic's shop or dealership...?

Similarly, when we offer a very special bunch of natural herbal remedies and some homeopathic remedies, people are mistaking all of it for, nevertheless, "the magic pill"-- which in their vivid imagination, should provide them with the fully treated (or even "cured") voice mechanics.

Yes it would do a lot of good, but along with restoration of voice mechanics, and definitely not instead of adapting the new application of the voice in order to achieve the ultimate voice health and, nevertheless, the power of the voice.

Thus the latter, no doubt, would guarantee the longevity and health of the vocal anatomy for the lifetime.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people can be so naïve and gullible, thinking that those, however invaluable remedies (in real sense) not only will cure their voice but make them a better speaker and/or singer.

IF ONLY...!!

THAT -- NO DOUBT... WOULD BE A WISHFUL THINKING ON THEIR PART!!!

Please note:

The DREAMS ARE GOOD -- but they WILL NOT end up serving the actual aim and purpose of the exercise!

Vocal Chiropractics...? Vocal Science™ Method

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Sat, 21 Jun 2025 19:46:00 +0000

Vocal Chiropractics...?

Vocal Science™ Method

Optimize your Mind, Body and Voice to the MAX!!

Align the above 3 components between each other, and you feel not only tremendous improvement in your voice, but also experience clarity in your mind along with your body which will become more vibrant light and healthy.

For example, when you go to a doctor of chiropractics, you're going there for better and improved posture which also will help you with the full alignment of your body and thus you will get rid of all the aches and pains of your joints and your body in general.

Believe it, or not, if you want to fix your voice or become a better speaker or singer your posture will be the most important component for the latter.

Let's imagine that you're a violin player and keep your violin upside down and simply, in a manner of speaking, crooked which in this case, naturally, it would not align with your physical body, then in this instance what kind of sound are you hoping to produce...?

Probably not a very pleasant one, let alone a professional sound.

Let me introduce you to a very interesting story which is related to our subject:

The obsessed mother truly loved the violin sound and had been dreaming that her twin daughters will become well-known famous violin players.

She thought that if she buys them the most expensive violin (million dollar Stradivarius for each of them) then it would make them the violin players of her dreams.

She went to the very famous violin store and asked the salesperson to sell her the most expensive violins he could find, which he did, and she really paid a million dollars for each of the violins...

Then with. absolute confidence she sent her daughters to perform using those violins in a violin players competition.

Needless to say, they were booted out of the stage and laughed out of the competition, let alone were allowed to perform... (which was the dream of their mother).

In fact, naturally, their mother got very upset with the outcome of this violin endeavour.

Being very angry she returned to the store where she spent 2 million dollars for the violins and started screaming in despair at the salesman who sold the violins to her.

She was screaming and saying how dare you sell me bad violins that got my daughters booted out of the violin competition.

He smiled and asked her if her daughters did actually know how to play....

Evidently, my dear readers, it takes the instrument (in this case violins, which were completely fine) and the "players" (which were obviously not adequate, in this case) they didn't have a clue as to how to hold the violins properly and thus being able to make the best sound from these fine and very expensive instruments-- same goes for singers, and speakers.

If their bodies are not fit and they do not know how to extract the proper sound for their speaking and/or singing voice, and instead they start pushing their voices to the max and thus easily acquire the voice damage while straining their vocal cords.

So during my sessions I assure the proper posture, proper alignment, proper balance thus achieving the integration and synergy between mental, physical, and vocal components.

I have numerous examples of that which I will accompany with pictures, testimonials, and videos....
Stay tuned my reader for the next edition (Part 2).

What are the Symptoms of Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD)? What Kind of Alternative, Natural & Holistic Treatments Are Available?

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 19:58:00 +0000

The term Muscle Tension Dysphonia is a general term that could be associated with an imbalance in the vocal anatomy's muscles coordination as well as breathing patterns required to create the sound of the human voice. Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) may occur suddenly, or, most likely, as a result of a strained voice being pulled into the neck muscles. The reason behind this disorder is not always known. It may be triggered by allergies, illness, acid reflux or, by whichever other means...

Symptoms -

The most common symptom of this disorder is a change in voice quality, often associated with discomfort of the throat and/or vocal box in general while speaking or singing. Also, almost always, symptoms like hoarseness and raspiness will be associated with an increased effort to talk or sing, coupled with subsequent fatigue during continuous voice overuse and/or (outright) misuse.

Treatment -

There is an alternative form of voice therapy which is the gold standard for the treatment of Muscle Tension Dysphonia. There are no other known treatments (outside of the Vocal Science™ Method and its Unique Voice/Vocal Technique) that actually can restore the muscle balance within the certain (so-to-speak) mechanism which powers the sound of the voice. With that said, this unique type of therapy will help alleviate the above-described vocal symptoms.

Using the unique voice/vocal instruction (Vocal Science™ Method) geared towards voice health restoration combined with the application of natural herbs and remedies (some applied directly onto the throat) is the best natural and holistic approach to dealing with muscle tension dysphonia, as well as with many other various voice disorder issues.

This is a little information on what the herbal remedies we are using inside and outside of our voice repair sessions do:

These remedies can help:

• Alleviate severe throat pain in its entirety

• Oxygenate and disinfect your vocal anatomy

• Get rid of excess mucous and excess gastric acid from your vocal anatomy and your physical body overall

• Boost your immune system and get more comfort (vocally speaking) and, nevertheless, also improve your overall health

Also, we would like to point out that a few of those herbal remedies strongly serve as (and are comparable to) natural antibiotics.

In short: These remedies will help you a great deal to eliminate nasty symptoms associated with your voice disorder.

However, speaking of the mechanical side of things - our unique approach to voice mechanics (Vocal Science™ Method) will help you to achieve the goal of your voice restoration and enhancement via “lifting” the sound of the voice (in a manner of speaking) off of the vocal box (using specially designed speech and, if needed, singing exercises) while achieving re-channeling of the sound into the facial muscles (sinus cavities); and then, concurrently, employing those facial muscles to work in full conjunction and coordination with the sufferer’s abdominal muscles.

Those actions described above will naturally amplify the human voice; thus allowing the true voice to be heard without compromise. It will also minimize the harmful use of the sufferer’s throat, larynx and vocal cords. It will, concurrently, be able to eliminate pain and, needless to say, strain during the use of the vocal anatomy altogether.

If, by any chance, you suffer from any of the above voice disorders, you are welcome to contact us via our business email: info@vocalscience.com Or you can call us at: 416-857-8741

Clearer Speech? More Sound Singing…? It’s Got to be the Vocal Science Method!

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 19:20:00 +0000

In the previous years, I had worked a lot not only with professional singers but, also, with some amateur singers who, at the time, were labelled as wannabe singers. In fact, a lot of them were recognized by various talent scouts and agents, especially when they were appearing in karaoke nights or open mic events in a variety of bars and clubs.

Once upon a time, one of my beginner students was brought up by her husband to a big karaoke club to show him what she had achieved with only 5 hours of instruction (by that time) with me. She told me that she was very nervous and, understandably, felt very insecure…

However, she also told me that she remembered (what we still call to this day) to “smile and bite”, and, nevertheless, she also remembered enunciate and to pronounce her words with absolute clarity.

Before she finished her song (to my memory, it was a song called “Time After Time” – by Cindy Lauper), she was helped down from the stage by a person who came up to her and praised her on her vocal performance.

He continued talking to her, bringing her to his table and, first and foremost, he told her that he totally knew where, and with whom, she had been taking her singing lessons.

“I believe it is that Russian lady you are going to who is located on Sheppard and Yonge? (within Toronto, Ontario Canada)”

With the above statement, my student was absolutely shocked!

“How could he know that?” she thought.

He said “I am a talent scout, and I am seeing Diana’s students everywhere… They are all smiling and using their cheekbone muscles; and also they are always in tune, standing on stage like ballerinas (with perfect posture), and mainly, you could understand every word they are singing.”

My student was so surprised that she had completely forgotten that her husband was actually sitting on the other side of the room, waiting for her to join him. The talent scout, however, had no idea that she even came with the husband, as he only spotted her on stage.

Approximately two hours later, my student realized that her husband did not know what was going on and probably was upset, thinking that she just got picked up by another man… Realizing that, she quickly returned to their original table, but her husband was nowhere to be found…

To make the long story short, her husband simply left the club and then throughout the night, had been refusing to come back and to pick his wife up.

We are talking about the year 1991 (Century 20). We are also talking about an Italian families whereas, in that era, the Italian wives were fully dependent on their spouses and also, primarily did not even drive, or moreover, did not even know (geographically speaking for that matter) what was happening outside of their household.

That whole karaoke experience nearly brought my student to a divorce... Go figure!

However, to finish on a positive note, after completing a course with me, she had approached the talent scout “in question” (with the actual blessing of her husband. LOL) and then actually ended up being enrolled in his agency’s roaster…

With the above said, evidently, The Vocal Science Method and its very unique vocal technique speak for themselves! Nevertheless, there is a wholesome voice mechanism which actually takes place. Once the components of that mechanism are in place, the wannabe singer first moves up to a semi-professional singer; and then finally, after perfecting and polishing their craft, moves on to a professional category.

To conclude… when singers trained by me are performing live on stage or even just heard on the radio, my “Vocal Science™ Method signature” IS ALWAYS PRESENT!!

With the Vocal Science™ method and its own very unique vocal technique, we have proven quite a few medical professionals wrong!

- Case Study #1: Tim Bristol of Niagara Falls, New York -

The above-named non-surgical voice repair client of ours was basically given a “sentence”... which was suggesting that his voice was damaged to “the point of no return”. The ENT professionals were stating that many of our clients (formally theirs) would never recover their speaking and/or singing voices ever again…

With the above in mind… let’s profile a throat cancer survivor named Tim Bristol.

Some time ago, he came to us seeking a viable solution for his very serious voice problem, after surviving throat cancer. Tim has been a musician, singer/songwriter (at the time) for over 45 years of his life. From his words, his whole life had mainly revolved around music. Also, from his words, while performing on many stages, which he was playing from, he saw nothing but “blue light”. So, needless to say, the constant second-hand smoke was inhaled by Tim, night in and night out… So at his early 60’s, he was diagnosed with cancer of the throat.

Tim, nonetheless, undergone many sessions of chemotherapy, as well as numerous radiation treatments. That left him with a very raspy and hoarse voice and with numbness (loss of sensation of touch) on his fingertips. In both instances, those were very devastating outcomes of the above-mentioned treatments, as not only Tim was a singer/songwriter, but he has also been a very prominent guitar and bass guitar player.

When he asked the doctors what he should do about that, they responded - “None of that matters… Please be grateful that you are alive!”. That was not good enough for Tim, as without playing his guitar and singing his songs in various bands as before, he did not see the meaning of his life down the road… So, he eventually found us. In just 10 hours of our private instruction coupled with natural herbal treatment, he regained his voice. For maintenance, he also attended our healthy voice/vocal workshop, at that time, consisted of two full days of instruction. We concluded his recovery, located in our office plaza, Karaoke place. Once Tim sung a chosen-by-him song, he got a standing ovation.

The owner of the place came up to me and asked why I had been hiding such a great singer and never brought him to sing to his place before…? I revealed that he - along with my other voice repair client from Maryland, USA - were both just here with me for a few days to fix their voices. The owner of the establishment said: “Hahaha… Voice Repair…” - Which was clearly implied that I was actually not telling the truth. I was stunned for a minute, but then started to laugh, as it was a perfect testimonial for me - where the previous damage of my clients’ voices could not, at all, be detected!

Tim’s wife, who was also a singer/songwriter, was completely fascinated by the whole thing and came from Niagara Falls New York to visit us (just for a day) in order to personally witness this fascinating process herself.

At this moment, we are not in communication with Tim himself, which we presume is a good thing, because if he needed us, he would have found us by now. So, from our end, we are certain that he is all good and is continuing singing and playing music for many years and months ahead. From his own words, Tim said: “Diana, You had proved all those doctors wrong! My voice is getting better and better every day!”

Way to go, Tim!

Keep on Rockin’ Man!

Case Study: Paralysis of one Vocal Cord and complete surgical “Butchering” of the other. Let’s examine the above occurrence and its related consequences.

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Sun, 09 Mar 2025 18:34:00 +0000

Who We Are...?

We are Natural, Alternative and Holistic Practitioners, Specializing

in Non-Surgical Voice Repair and Other Health-Related Problems.

Dear reader of mine, please note that we are exactly who we are. Please read the title carefully!

We are not doctors and we are certainly not magicians… However, if we could say so ourselves (not to mention the, at least, 30,000 people who have passed through our doors for over 41 years now), the results that we produce (whereas nobody else, to our knowledge, had possessed experience and expertise comparable to ours) are, indeed, can be called miraculous, and they are, nevertheless, happening on a regular basis while our clients have been under our care.

In spite of my best efforts and extensive experience and expertise, I can only provide a person with, so to speak, a “Vocal Prosthesis”. It can be compared with the person’s lost limb(s). There is no way those limbs, or even the new limbs, can be sewn back on.

But what I can do is to create the finest “prosthesis” which could and will practically pass for the real deal.

Stating the above with absolute confidence, we have to note and must say that those miracles which are being produced on a regular basis, are definitely not a one-sided affair.

We are and have been employing our revolutionary Vocal Science™ Method and its very unique (in its nature) voice/vocal technique. But while delivering the message, we require from our clients absolute compliance, consistency and ultimate frequency in attending our sessions.

All of the above will absolutely assure the recovery and restoration of one’s voice. Nonetheless, "it takes two to tango” so to speak. Everybody knows that, nowadays, the world has gone exponentially crazy… to put it mildly. After my trip to the UK, I personally came to a conclusion that now the word “crazy” would be an understatement, as the word INSANE would be somewhat more precise and, unfortunately, in order…

Let me tell you a little more about my experience while I was there:

My first original client was a singer/songwriter who, not too long ago, got diagnosed with a polyp on his vocal cord. I, in fact, said in a few of my previous blogs that “I am not, per se, concerned about my client’s voice/vocal problems. I am concerned about them”…? What do you mean by that - you, my reader, may ask?

Let me explain it to you and I will try to do so to the best of my knowledge. In the year 1999, our prominent Toronto newspaper, named ”The Toronto Star” wrote an article about me and my practice. The name of the article is “Not as Easy as it Sounds” The author of this article mentioned that, by her observations, (she has been taking a lesson herself while writing) that the whole process is definitely “not for the faint of heart”. I added, at the time, that “it is also not for the people with below-average IQ”...

Now, besides the above statements, I came to the conclusion that it is also not for the person with unstable emotions, as well as with nonexistent physical fitness and/or balance for that matter.

The fact is that the Vocal Science™ method is indeed an integration and synergy between the mental, physical, emotional and vocal components. It requires an “installation” of a wholesome mechanism which allows the voice to work in the fullest capacity possible and with no strain or pain on the vocal anatomy.

This mechanism consists of very viable components such as:

Lower abdominal muscles, which play the role of the voice-lift support.
Upper diaphragm muscles (rib cage), which are very instrumental with respect to building the body of the sound.
The facial muscles (sinus cavities) will harbour and secure the sound within their chambers.
And lastly, all of the above will assure the projection of the sound to its aimed destination.

Now, my reader, reading the above, you are probably understanding the meaning of the phrase delivered by the editor: (“Not as easy as it sounds”)… and what it actually entails...!

Given our digital “progress”, people are becoming completely non-physical, as the majority of their time is spent on the internet and on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc.

Given that, it is getting harder and harder to make them “walk and chew the gum at the same time” in a manner of speaking. In our very unique practice, we need to make our recipients walk and produce the sound while concurrently using body movements - which are extremely instrumental in achieving success in producing the ultimate voice quality (broken or not).

___________

So my UK client with a polyp on his vocal cord which, according to him, he acquired while vigorously yelling at his mother and sister (not to mention his wrong approach to voice mechanics while singing), assumed that his polyp will fall out off of his vocal cord the minute I would land in London’s Heathrow airport… I was not sure whether to laugh or cry at that statement...

But, suppressing my own emotions, I attempted to put some sense into my doomed client and began my usual routines. The Non-Surgical Voice Repair course, coupled with natural herbal and some homeopathic treatments, was supposed to last for 30 hours with two sessions a day - consisting of two sessions of two and a half hours duration (with a complimentary lunch in between them) and thus totalling 5 hours on each day. With all of his very unstable behaviour (actually, pretty much consistent with, bipolar behaviour) I was able (at best) to achieve only half of the protocol (15 hours maximum).

Given all that, and still trying to save the designated course, I did invite him to Toronto to finish what we had started; but warned him that if I witnessed anything remotely reminding me of my visit to his neck of the woods, the course would be discontinued immediately and definitely to the point of no return. Prior to him coming to us here in Toronto, I did advise him to get his “head examined” via seeing a professional counsellor - and thus to try to put a “handle”, so to speak, onto his excessive and unstable emotions…

I guess…. it remains to be seen….

___________

Now I am going to tell you about my second client who was booked on the same visit there in the UK.

The lady of 86 years of age arranged with me what we call an introductory/exploratory session, the duration of which, like here at home, is usually 2 hours. This lady had her parathyroid glands removed 5 years prior to that (2013) and as a result of the above-mentioned, her right vocal cord had gotten paralyzed. Since then she had undergone 2 more vocal surgeries which did not improve her voice quality at all, rather, on the contrary, made her voice even worse.

Within less than 2 hours I managed to get her counting from 1 to 5 with a practically normal (even properly placed) sounding voice!! Her daughter was present in my hotel room and she kept exclaiming “Mom, I can totally hear the improvement”! Her daughter was exclaiming over and over throughout my intervention. Her name was Vivian and she was constantly repeating that never before my session, that she heard any improvement whatsoever from previously attending many other sessions like medical, alternative or any other kind for that matter!

Then they left, and early the next morning, I got a phone call where my “doomed” client revealed to me that she was a “little disappointed”...? and therefore she did not think that it would actually justify the money she would want to pay for further sessions.

Go figure…!

To tell you the truth, I was stunned - to put it mildly!!

Firstly, not only due to a prior paralyzed vocal cord and, moreover, two “butcher” surgeries after that, I, while employing all of my extensive experience and expertise, could hear that the whole right side of her vocal anatomy was damaged exponentially; and not only it was clearly dysfunctional, but practically, it was non-existent.

How sad is that?

Sad indeed!

In my, nonetheless, vivid visualization, I saw a “half-butchered cow” in preparation for a “slaughter”; whereas the other half (in my vision) was appearing to be “mooing”…

No offence intended, it's just a cartoon…
However, very much so to the point...
Not sure if anybody could fix the above-displayed cow's voice...
I, in fact, could have actually done it, should've I been given a fair chance!

The above is a mild description of her vocal anatomy condition. For example; let’s, for a second, visualize a person who got their leg amputated… Can any magic, or science for that matter, would be able to regrow a new leg for that person?

My Dear Readers: Please Note, that in spite of my best efforts and extensive experience and expertise, I can only provide a person with, so to speak, “Vocal Prosthesis” . It can be compared with the person’s lost limb. There is no way any limbs, or even the new limbs, can be sewn back on. But what I can do, is to create the finest “prosthesis” which could practically pass for the real deal!

Absurd! - you, my reader, may exclaim! It is indeed! But my so-called “doomed client” was expecting nothing less than that… and, nevertheless, she expected the magic would have to happen within two hours of the Introductory/Exploratory session, nonetheless, conducted from a hotel room.

Let me explain to you what I mean by the term 'Introductory/Exploratory' session:

That session is designed to introduce a potential client to the Vocal Science™ method and its revolutionary voice/vocal technique. Also, it consists of certain tests and explorations (finding what works and what does not). And lastly, during that session, analyzing the above, the best course of action would be defined and thus implemented into further instructional, combined with natural treatments, sessions.

At the beginning of this blog, I explained why the world, went crazy from the definition of such to the definition of insane. After this UK trip, I, unfortunately, had gotten totally convinced that we just dropped down to another level of craziness (complete insanity)…!!

How scary is that…?

I could compare it with an absolute nightmare, but I am still hoping that one day I will wake up from this “horror dream” and experience the world in all of its beauty, as I once did in the past.

Amen to that!!

The Inspirational Journey of Aubrie Morris (Up-and-Coming Singer/Songwriter of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania)

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 20:33:00 +0000

Hi Everyone,

Some of you are already familiar with the name of Aubrie Morris of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, USA who originally came to us in November 2019.

She came to us with the diagnosis of Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD).

Please read the beginning of Aubrie’s story by clicking the link below:

https://www.vocalscience.com/aubrie-m-muscle-tension-dysphonia-survivor

Her voice repair course coupled with natural herbal treatment was supposed to be administered for 6 consecutive days in order for Aubrie to receive 30 hours of our revolutionary voice/vocal instruction advocating by us via the use of our very own Vocal Science™ method and its voice/vocal very unique technique. Unfortunately, we were unable to finish that course as Aubrie caught a cold and thus we were forced to cut our course short (24/26 hours).   However, with the above said, her Muscle Tension Dysphonia disorder was on the way out after she was coming to Canada for a few more instruction hours and treatments. Also due to the pandemic, she was not able to see me for a couple of years. Due to that fact, naturally, her voice did not exactly improve on its own, especially while she was attempting to practice by herself….   Finally, the day had come and Aubrie arrived in Toronto on August the 29th. On August the 30th, we began our journey with her again. This time we successfully completed our Super Accelerated Voice Immersion Course and now also outlined the time for Aubrie to come back again and again, in order to realize her life-long dream-to become a professional singer. Please read below Aubrie’s story, which she just shared with us and now with you, our reader. Once you read it, please give us your feedback and let us know what you think of this incredible person and her inspirational journey.

Hello to all!!
I hope everyone is having a decent day, even though I know that one of the first thoughts that goes through your mind are:
Muscle Tension Dysphonia PAIN!
I remember waking up like that.
I remember not wanting to live, and having ZERO (ABSOLUTELY NO) motivation to do anything.
I have had MUSCLE TENSION DYSPHONIA for 5+ YEAARRRRRSSSS!!
That was the WORST thing I had ever gone through, and I’m sorry to be so blunt, but I would've rather gotten into a car accident AND DIIIIEEEEDDDDDD, than wake up EVERY SINGLE MORNING until I’m 70-90 years old being on fire, so to speak….
I have been a lonely "cat lady", only because I did not want to date (that is because; I WAS IN PAIN WHEN I TALKED!!!!!!!!!!)
NO ONE UNDERSTOOD!!
AND, I'M AFRIAD, NO ONE EVER WILL!
Unless they actually experience a VOCAL CORD DISORDER!!
I started to think of life like a video game. I just wanted a do over!!
Now, I literally LOVE the way I sound and the way I look!
😳. It’s actually okay to love yourself!
😂I want you to know, that people who take care of themselves do it for a reason; to look good, feel good, etc.
But now I’m actually attracted to my damn self.
I have amazing dreams that I hope to SWEET BABY JESUS come true!!
Meanwhile, while being in excurciating pain, I wanted to throw away EVERYTHING!!
I completely lost my will to just keep going, to want to go out, meet people, see things!
Again I WAS IN PAIN!!!!
I don't know, maybe some people can DEAL 😳with it.
If that is the case, you would appear to me being super strong, but I couldn't be at the time.
I’m so thankful that I found VOCALSCIENCE
I AM SOOO THANKFUL TO HAVE FOUND
Diana Yampolsky
LIKE MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO Diana Yampolsky!!
I really can’t believe she figured that out!
She used her own body first to teach herself and then was able to apply it to others. She knows how to pull the vocal cord issue(s) out of the throat area!!

Please forgive me if I hurt your feelings I’m so sorry…NO LIE I hope whatever route you choose to take will heal you and help you……UM…..😂🤣……😳😳 if not, THEN I GUESS YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH THAT!!
But this is NOT me trying to convince you.
I just wanted to share with you that I actually got my life back!!

In fact, I just got done arguing with my sister and she walked out on me because that’s how much POWER I had behind my voice!!
Lol she couldn’t get a word in, I over talked her completely. That was my bad as from my side, it was kind of rude. I should've let her get a word in, but that is not the point.
Before involving myself with VocalScience, I had to shut up and take whatever my sister was saying, because I didn’t have the power to argue back!
I would run away and like ‘Angry Cry’ 😑
I am no weak hearted woman, you wanna argue… let’s go🐅🐅🐯.
Obviously, to keep silent was hard for me to do.
Diana didn’t cover anything up or gave me STUPID EXERCISES like I did in physical therapy for 6 months plus:
Per Bristow programs
TMRG Vocal kit(s) with an s!!
Tea’s
Face steamers
Singing lessons
Hammer nutrition products
Vocal eze product
Cough drops
Spearmint Gum
LMAOOOO!!🤣
Over eating (BINGE EATING TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF FOOD)
to stimulate the throat gland to produce more saliva to stop the burning in my throat.
I am now 127 pounds :)
When, a little over a year ago, I first shook Diana’s hand, I was 189 pounds😂.
I did myofascial massages ($80) a pop.
I spent house money!!
I mean I could have BOUGHT A HOUSE with the money I spent on products trying to get rid of muscle tension Dysphonia.
That’s not an exaggeration.
Thank you so so much Diana for giving me my life back!
I actually might have children and even grandchildren one day because of you!!
I DO NOT, ANY LONGER, LIVE WITH MUSCLE TENSION DYSPHONIA!!
Diana helped me a great deal to get rid of it.
Just to make sure you understand…one more time for the people in the back…
And yes, I AM SCREAMINGGGGGG!!!!
I NO LONGER THINK ABOUT muscle tension Dysphonia!!
It doesn’t cross my mind because I am no longer one of the unfortunate human beings who is burdened by VOCAL CORD PROBLEMS AT ALLLLLLLLL!!!!
I’M TRULY FREE! It feels like my mucle tension dysphonia never happened!!
I’m so far from it. I feel bad for you guys who's still suffering, because I know that IT REALLY REALLY HURTS and I’m sorry....
Honestly, I forgot now how that burn feels!🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
P.S.
In fact, after all of that, I really want to become a professional singer!
After Diana got rid of my MTD, I started singing lessons with her!!
Someone who can get rid of something NO ONE ELSE, NO DOCTOR, NO SURGERY can get rid of, has obviously got to be knowledgeable and experienced about that field.
I just got done with my second visit with her!!
Yup and I go back OCTOBER 3-October 11

I’m not gonna CONTINUE TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF COMMUNICATION WITH SOMEONE FROM THE PAST (BEFORE DIANA) WHO NOT ONLY ROBBED ME OF MY MONEY AND ALSO LIED TO ME!!
Let alone do anything at all again with any of them!!!

Oh…. I don’t just go back on OCTOBER 3.
I go back again on
November 22
And we are in communication about the next trip AFTER THAT ONE.

Obviously, to become a professional singer (especially after dealing for quite a while with a voice disorder) takes time.
Please please feel free to inbox me anytime, with any questions! I don’t mind!!
Needless to say, I literally have Diana’s back 10000000%% .
😖I still can’t believe that there was a point in my life that I actually didn’t want to live on this Earth!!

Vocal Problems Due To Surgical Interference: What Could Be Done To Rectify It?

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:42:00 +0000

More and more phone calls and e-mails we are getting from people who have undergone related or non-related surgeries and who’s vocal cords and other parts of the vocal anatomy got damaged in the process. Recently, we had a few clients who had undergone thyroid removal (thyroidectomy) and all of them ended up with one of their vocal cords being paralyzed (vocal cord paresis).

One of our former clients who’s voice I fixed previously, but who (unfortunately, by not following the assigned protocol) ended up with having her papillomas growing again. She had been convinced by her ENT specialist to undergo not one, but two vocal surgeries back-to-back. In the end, she ended up with practically no voice left and what is called Sulcus Vocalis (vocal gap) and, thankfully, (just mild) Muscle Tension Dysphonia as well.

And lastly, a few hours ago, we got an e-mail from a professional person who recently undergone a biopsy procedure for her lung disorder. After the obvious intubation, she ended up with a very breathy, unclear and lower tone and, nonetheless, lower throat positioned voice. She told us that she read our blogs on Vocal Cord Paresis and felt that she now possesses very similar symptoms to what we have described in our publications.

The other day, I got her on the phone and could hardly make out what she was trying to convey to me.

This is a direct quote from her e-mail to us earlier today:
“I may as well end my life as without my voice I am nothing”

How sad is that?

Sad indeed!

Previously, she wrote that she wakes up with hope every morning that her voice is back to its normal state. Unfortunately though, by itself, it is not going to happen!

We however, with absolute certainty, can declare that WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Nevertheless, to rectify the serious voice damage, may take up to 50 hours of our unique voice instruction coupled with the finest herbal and homeopathic remedies to be applied on the wounded and disturbed throat flora.

The above aforementioned remedies will work best when the pressure of the sound is removed from the vocal anatomy. To do so, the one’s voice has to be restructured and practically re-channeled to the set of their facial muscles (sinus cavities). Those facial muscles will play the role of the natural resonator or amplifier for that matter.

However, the whole new vocal mechanism will work in its fullest capacity only when the abdominal muscles will be simultaneously engaged to work with the facial muscles in order to assure the support of the height of the lifted sound as well as the width (the body) of the sound. In this junction, the vocal anatomy would be put to “rest” and thus the healing will begin.

So the mechanics of voice and its application will be healed, strengthened and re-established. As a result, the vocal anatomy will become (in a manner of speaking) sound again!

Thus the mission of Non-SurgicalVoice Repair is accomplished.

In other words: YOUR better voice tomorrow, starts with US today!

Vocally Speaking. The Vocal Science (TM) Method. Become Non-Orthodox! Think out of the box.

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 21:16:00 +0000

Vocally Speaking.

The Vocal Science (TM) Method.

Become Non-Orthodox!

Think out of the box...

"Diana, God downloaded into you his gift"

- Patsy S of London UK.

Let’s analyze; What does the Vocal Science™ method actually consist of, you, my reader may be wondering…?

It does consist of a natural, holistic and completely alternative approach not only to the voice mechanics, but also to a person as a whole.

What separates this method from other methods and why does this method work without failure?

First a little bit about the conventional methods:

There are vocal coaches for singers, there are speech therapists and speech pathologists for those who have some kind of voice disorder or voice issues and/or vocal problems. What do they really offer…? To tell you the truth, it is pretty hard to define.

Vocal coaches are trying to teach their singing clients some strange (to put it mildly) exercises, which is remotely reminiscent of actual singing. Those coaches do all kinds of lip trills, as well as some strange sounding vowels and consonants... I can assure you, my reader, that those useless exercises have nothing to do with anybody becoming a singer. The real process to become one is actually quite complex and, nonetheless, it has to make sense.

An actual song consists of certain combinations of sounds duration and pitch (i.e. intervals). There are also only certain situations where those combinations described above may and will exist.

Once the person of interest identifies these combinations and begins to exercise them in variable situations, they will, in the final analysis, achieve the “ownership” of their voice.

The above is only a small part of the equation, as there is a lot more involved to complete the puzzle of many pieces…

As for speakers:

When they spot a problem in their speaking voice or want to learn how to speak properly and professionally, they, in desperation, run to speech therapists or speech pathologists. They hope to find an answer as to how to fix their speech problem(s) and/or become a better speaker.

Little did they know… Those therapists are using basically the same exercises as the majority of the vocal coaches.

Evidently, those strange sounds they are producing are not leading anybody to achieve the connection between the sounds, as only the actual integration and synergy between them will lead to a completion of their singing journey.

There is a certain mechanism that needs to be “instilled” in one’s brain, physical body, and, nevertheless, in their overall psyche - as all of the above holistic components are responsible for the final sound production.

However, there are a lot more components that need to be accessed in order to make “that mechanism” thrive. It is also about the alignment between the subconscious mind and the conscious mind along with the physical body. The latter will allow the voice (as an outcome) to become the final “print-out”.

All of that requires an assessment and evaluation of one’s “instrument”. Once we know what it consists of, we will be able to “delete” the “wrong software” from their “human computer.”

With that said, once the certain behaviour and some old "toxic" habits are “deleted”, the new Vocal Science™ “software” will be “installed”, in a manner of speaking, into their given “computer”.

But that is not all… We need to teach the person of interest which “button to press” for that desirable outcome/“print-out” they are looking for (first with my help and then on their own.) Once the instilled mechanism begins to work flawlessly the mission will become accomplished.

So my reader, as you can see, the above is definitely “not for the faint-of-heart,”(Toronto Star) and, I added, “definitely not for people with a below-average IQ.”

How can Vocal Cord Problems (for example Vocal Cord Dysfunction) cause Problems with your Speech?

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 19:31:00 +0000

Let's look at your vocal cords from a professional point of view:

Your vocal cords (within your voice box) are not just strings… They are a delicate form of fold tissues (muscles) with a very thin lining on the outside. And just like any other tissues within the body, if not taken care of properly, they evidently can get damaged. Normally, when people start to exhibit vocal cord problems, they may not even notice them and thus, do not find the need to address them until the problems (like strained vocal cords, bleeding vocal cords or other forms of vocal cord damage) become severe enough to warrant a visit to the doctor or a qualified voice specialist.

Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) happens when the vocal cords are unable to open properly. This is also referred to as paradoxical vocal fold movement. VCD is sometimes confused with asthma as some of the symptoms are very similar.

With VCD, the vocal cords close instead of opening up, when you breathe in and out. This closure of your vocal cords makes it harder to get air in and out of your lungs.

Signs and symptoms of VCD:

Feeling short of breath

Frequent cough or clearing of your throat

Inability to speak loudly and thus project the sound of your voice

Breathy voice

Choking or coughing while having your meal

Limited pitch and loudness variations while speaking or singing

Voice production that can last only for a certain interval of time, whereas, in turn, it becomes very inconsistent

Many clients who complain about one of the above problems can consult with their doctor to determine the underlying cause. However, many of them have been told that they don't have any physical problems. They also were told that, in any case, there are no treatments with pills to stop the aforementioned voice problems and/or vocal issues. Therefore, in order to take proper care of your voice, you must know how to use it wisely and accurately - especially, when you are a voice professional like a teacher, singer, actor, lawyer or broadcast personality.

What can cause VCD?

There are many different causes of vocal cord problems which, in all fairness, are often hard to diagnose. The reason behind this dysfunction can be an upper respiratory infection, tobacco smoke, post-nasal drip, acid reflux, reaction to strong odours or fumes, and many other factors.

We offer a unique and alternative treatment for spasmodic dysphonia, as well as non-surgical solutions for various voice disorders.

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 18:35:00 +0000

We have many people inquiring about various voice disorders; but the most nasty of them I would qualify would be a Spasmodic Dysphonia Disorder– especially for sufferers whose speech (sometimes for man years) had been severely compromised due to that.

The above-described voice disorder sufferers have been experiencing uncontrolled spasms in their voice, which sometimes also travels to their vocal anatomy from their chest or even their stomach!

I could, perhaps, compare it to some form of epilepsy; and in this case, I personally gave it the name - “vocal epilepsy”.

The sufferers of spasmodic dysphonia also often have difficulties in swallowing their saliva, not to mention some foods for that matter.

It can be considered a disorder of a neurological nature, but also (and I am quite sure of), it is often emotionally induced. Due to this fact, it manifests in the various organs of one’s physical body; whereas, unfortunately, the human voice is not excluded.

‘Is this disorder curable’ you, my reader, may ask?

My answer would be that, in majority of cases, it is not; but in my very unique approach to voice mechanics and, needless to say, to the human as a whole, it can be very-much-so well treated and controlled to the point of nearly 100% of spasm reduction in one’s speech.

The fact is that with the proper breathing mechanism instilled in the individual, the voice gets lifted off of the vocal box and off of the vocal anatomy as a whole. Thus, the throat, larynx and vocal cords get the needed relief from the pressure of the sound of the voice.

Needless to say that the sound having the air (fuel underneath of it, in a manner of speaking), will “fly to its programmed, aimed destination”. But the above can only happen if the rest of that wholesome mechanism will also be intact. I am talking about the support, structure and placement of the sound in the designated facial cavities (the sinus cavities, if you will).

Once this described above mechanism works in one’s body in the fullest capacity possible, the voice will be shifted to and operated by a different set of muscles altogether…

The above described is the essence of the Vocal Science™ Method which possess Unique voice/vocal Technique which, in turn, will assure the human voice (speaking and/or singing) working to its best capacity and, nevertheless, ability. Therefore, many of the voice/vocal disorders (and even including such a nasty one as spasmodic dysphonia), can be greatly eliminated (however not without great difficulty for the sufferer, and in this case for myself).

To conclude:

I often ask my present and former clients “What price tag you could put on the above statements”?

Needless to say, the common opinion is… The Vocal Science™ approach, method and technique… is simply priceless!

Ms. Yampolsky is one of the world's foremost specialists on the topic of the human voice and is the creator of Vocal Science(TM), a unique and truly revolutionary accelerated vocal development technique. It is a holistic and scientific approach to voice mechanics that enables all singers and speakers to reach their full potential in an extremely short period of time. Based in Ontario, Canada, Diana works with a worldwide spectrum of clientele as a Vocal Coach/Consultant, In-Studio Vocal Production Expert and Non-Surgical Voice Repair Specialist.

Have you been a singer in the past, and had recently lost your voice? WE CAN HELP!!

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 19:52:00 +0000

I have more and more inquiries from people who used to sing for some time in the past; and suddenly, (or at least so they thought), lost their singing range and some of them even lost their singing voice altogether. Needless to say, they had their speaking voice compromised as well.

Now they are older and in their 40s, 50s (and counting), they still cannot get a grip on the notion that their love and joy of singing (and proper, coherent speaking) might never be present again...?

Nevertheless, quite a few years later after the occurrence, they are still upset and even depressed about it. Of course, they had been through numerous visits to ENT doctors, speech therapists, pathologists and numerous vocal coaches. Unfortunately, in the majority of cases, it did not add up to any tangible, needless to say, expected results.

With that said, since they had lost their love and joy to be able to speak or especially to sing effortlessly and painlessly, their lives have never been the same. Their passion and desire for expressing themselves, (telling their stories, speaking clearly and expressing their emotions through singing), has been "deeply buried" (so to speak).

What would it take to recover one’s speaking or especially singing voice? Is it even possible?
If it was possible, how would it impact the long-term voice sufferer’s life?

Fortunately I can shed the light on all of the above:

To answer the first question; luckily, in the majority of cases, it is absolutely possible. How does it happen that the singing voice, “all of a sudden, disappears”, (so to speak), you may ask?

Some people are born with natural singing talent; and once they discover it, they obviously begin to use it - and, basically, rightfully so. However, while enjoying their newly-found voice, they begin using it excessively. Thus, not being aware of the proper voice application and thus proper vocal technique, they end up overusing it and sometimes abusing it even to the “point of no return”.

For some reason, neither they nor their "mentors" realize that the singers’ vocal cords are not made from steel. In fact, they are very fragile and, thus have to be treated with special care. Like any instrument, the voice and the entire body, requires a frequent tune-up and proper maintenance.

Usually, the young and talented artists who get discovered via their talents and looks have no idea how to power their voice without any pain or strain on their vocal anatomy. So they pull and push their voices full force. And one day, sooner or later, the voice “pops” so to speak. That is how one of my singing voice repair clients had described it.

The musicians often use the expression, “No gig lasts forever”.

Indeed! Nobody should take their voice, (or other parts of their anatomy for that matter), for granted. If you are entering any high-tasking field, (singing performance included), please conduct the proper research to the best of your knowledge and then act accordingly. So please try to learn how NOT to "kill" your voice, but rather the opposite; how to preserve and nurture your fragile instrument – Your Voice!

With that said, keep in mind that recovering and restoring your voice to its original state would take a great effort on the part of the singer and nonetheless, a very experienced voice specialist.

To answer the second question, voice recovery and restoration is a huge deal and when it is complete, some people begin to re-evaluate the purpose of their lives (past and present). It is quite difficult to turn the internal clock back and now try to leave their present lives in order to come back to something that once was very precious in the past.

As we all know, there is no change without change, even if it is a positive one.

However, in any case, the benefits of a newly-found voice are countless:

- The confidence

- the self-esteem and self-worth

- the dignity and integrity

- the pride of accomplishment...

- recover the joy and the passion which was present in the past - before their voice/vocal injury...

So my reader... we need your opinion...

Is there "a price tag" that you could put on a healthy and vibrant voice...?

Vocal Science™: The Forensic Science of Voice Restoration

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:48:00 +0000

We are practicing alternative internal medicine while advocating the assurance of the best speaking/singing voice & nevertheless, non-surgical voice repair.

You Got This!!

Firstly, you, my reader, may wonder why we call Vocal Science the forensic science?

We do so because we are paying a great attention to the minutest details while working on the human voice (speaking or singing - damaged or not).

With our specially-designed speech and singing exercises, we build a, so to speak, “hurricane-proof” foundation for the future “house” to “stand on” and to be “built upon”…

Evidently, broken or not, and first of all the speaking voice (before the singing voice, if required to be worked on) has to be put in balance along with the person’s physical body, mind, and nevertheless the motor skills.

To achieve the desired result while building the proper voice application (ultimate voice/vocal technique), especially with respect to the voice restoration, those aforementioned components have to be able to work in full synchronicity between each other.

While facial muscles will also work in full conjunction and coordination with one’s abdominal muscles, the excessive and harmful use of the vocal anatomy will be minimized exponentially.

What is Vocal Science™? It is firstly an intellectual and intelligent method of visualization...

In order to restore one’s mechanics (speaking and/or singing), the person has to be able to adopt a “modality" of completely new behaviour.

The latter falls into the neural linguistic programming (N.L.P), which is all about the “installation” of the new modality of one’s behaviour.

The Vocal Science™ Method is built on the laws of physics and geometry.

The Vocal Science Method suggests that the sound is a physical material body and it travels as such; i.e., in a circular direction and relatively, prospectively, and respectively to the person’s height, width, and central line of their body (ultimately, the parameters of the central line would be the location of their nose and belly button).

In order to achieve the above, the person’s posture has to be ultimate, while also taking into consideration that the sound is a physical material body and it will travel in the same way as if they would pitch the ball, swim to the aimed destination and/or jump a triple axel or quad on ice.

In fact, in order for the figure skater to achieve the above-mentioned jumps, they will have to take off of the ice (not with the ice, which sometimes happens), in order to achieve the needed height for the triple or quad; and then maintain the complete center while taking off and landing those jumps.

In a nutshell, the above points are clearly pointing out to the holistic approach to voice mechanics.

With that said, my first priority is to assess the person as a whole.

Believe it or not, any person’s voice is the least of my concern…, because, if that person is completely intact (in balance and fitness between mind, body and motor skills), our success will be inevitable whereas, no doubt, the human voice will work to its absolute maximum capacity possible.

In a majority of cases, the voice damage occurs specifically because of the lack of understanding of how the human body (and voice, for that matter) are designed to work.

Some people, unfortunately have very bad posture; they are not familiar with the parameters of their body; they have no idea how to project their voice to be heard while, concurrently, not to ruin their vocal anatomy, or at least avoid the pain and strain.

Now, it seems to be, our society became completely non-physical, and moreover it is becoming exponentially worse.

It is extremely hard to provide any care for one’s voice when that person is completely out of balance on every conceivable level…

The humans are now way too busy sitting at their computers and “smart” phones checking and conversing on Facebook & other destructive social media platforms…

Also, to elaborate further, I’ve just heard on the radio that the average size of a women’s dress use to be considered size 10 to12. Today, via thorough research, it was detected that the dress size moved up to size 16 and even 18…!!

My question is: What is going to happen in the next few years?

Will we be all shooting for size 24 or perhaps larger? I certainly hope not!

All that is caused by the wrong diet and by the lack of physical activities - that includes too much sitting while browsing the internet…

I am sorry to say, but in my “books”, it is extremely pathetic!!

How do we expect the voice to work in the fullest capacity possible when all of the other organs in one’s physical body are completely out of sorts??

So this is my plea to you, my reader

Put your computer mouse away
Watch the food which you put in your mouth
Go for a walk whenever you can
Stop your bad habits (smoking, drinking, drugs, etc..)
Watch your voice while speaking and singing - Don’t scream and force your voice under any circumstance
And lastly, do not EVER attempt any singing if you are sick with a cold or have a virus of any sort

Vocal Science™ Method.

Our credo: Save and protect your voice for years to come and live your life with the best and, most importantly, healthy voice!
You got this!!

BREAKING NEWS! AEROSMITH Cancel Their Rescheduled Shows and thus, Apparently Retired from the Stage!

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 17:04:00 +0000

Steven Tyler and Aerosmith just announced that, due to his vocal cord damage being permanent (as determined by Doctors), he and Aersomith will now retire from touring and all subsidiary performances.

In September 2023, the well-known rock band (originally formed in the '70s) - "Aerosmith" announced that they were postponing their "Peace Out" Farewell Tour due to Steven Tyler damaging his Larynx.
Below please see our take on it at that time:

Not too long ago, we found out that Steven Tyler of Aerosmith had sustained a serious and extensive vocal injury, thus, being forced to postpone Aerosmith's 50th Anniversary/Farewell Tour.
He had been diagnosed by doctors with a fractured larynx and damaged vocal cords.
In fact, the damaged vocal cords can be quite treatable (especially from where we sit), but a broken larynx can be a more complicated issue...
Meanwhile, Steven himself and his band, are hoping to resume the above-mentioned tour in the very near future (September 2024).
We certainly would hope so if we did not know any better.
And believe us, we actually do know, especially after treating and instructing over 30,000 people being under our care, who went through our doors for all kinds of treatments for voice disorders and vocal injuries, since 1984.
Evidently, it is not that simple, as Steven Tyler's injury had happened not because of any problems with the vocal anatomy (at least not fully), but with problems of not a proper application of the singing voice - most likely driven by not properly embedded and nevertheless, adequate enough vocal technique.
If the above-described very important variables are not going to be addressed sooner after the injury occured (rather than later), past, present and future voice problems, unfortunately, will, most likely, still prevail.
Regardless, we wish Steven Tyler all the best and hope that he will be able to resume his 50th Anniversary/Farewell Tour as soon as possible and complete it, like always, with flying colours!
All the best to you Mr. Steven Tyler and we are hoping that your best is yet to come!

Unfortunately, by the looks of things, we were right and Steven Tyler's vocal issues prevailed, forcing him and his band Aerosmith (as a result) to retire from touring and performing on stage altogether.

This is a good example for all the singers, and even speakers to be aware about the health of their voice and before doing anything, embark on the proper adoption of the voice. i.e. proper voice/vocal technique.

It is only logical as, no figure skater or gymnast embarks on jumping triples axles or quads or performing on a balance beam, without extensive training, as they are aware that if they do not apply the proper technique and completely precise application of that technique, either on ice or the balance beam, they, nevertheless, may break their neck, leg and God knows what else - and in some cases, it may be beyond repair (beyond the point of no return).

So our readers, please do not take anything for granted and do not think that you are invincible.

Nobody is...!!

If you have Voice Damage... Would you first try to approach it surgically, or perhaps (if it is available), non-surgically?

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 04:34:00 +0000

We would like to tell you the story of 3 people who we got acquainted with, so to speak...:
One of whom was already momentarily our voice repair client.
The second one was already inquiring with us for over a year and finally will be coming to be under our care in April, 2024.
And the third one has already (for at least 3 years), was appearing on and off our horizon over all that time.
Guess who?
Everybody's dream, love and joy: RFK Jr. (Bobby).

Let's closely examine each case.

Case #1:
A beautiful woman of Russian descent came to us with a diagnosis of nodules on both vocal cords.
Smart and beautiful on every level, but for some reason very stubborn in taking directions with respect to what actually can be done (non-surgically), not only to get rid of those nodules, but to learn how to speak properly to not only get rid of that vocal cord(s) growth but, nevertheless, to prevent such occurrence from ever happening again.

For some reason, we notice, that our clients for many many years (the 40th Anniversary of our establishment is upcoming on February 15th, 2024) do not pick up a clue that no vocal operation is going to teach them how to speak or sing properly in order to avoid the further damage caused by the improper application of the speaking or singing voice.
Moreover, some of them are hoping that the natural herbs and remedies, which we are using as a supplemental part of non-surgical voice repair, will fix their voice disorders, even such of those like MTD, SD, cancer of the throat and whatnot....
This is just, to say the least, ridiculous and nevertheless!

Another example:
One of them, who was very eager at first to buy our Supreme Herbal Non-Surgical Voice Repair Kit (by the way, highly discounted) told us a flat NO when we wrote to her the truth stating that those herbs are very instrumental, extremely helpful on every level and not only for the vocal anatomy, but for the health in general.
But, if the truth was known, they definitely will not be able to address the MECHANICAL side of things, as they are just pills, however, extremely natural and potent.
She said, "At first I misunderstood that the Herbal Voice Repair Kit alone can cure SD which was caused by allergies with excess mucus in the body. But now I understand that the Kit only lessens the symptoms, and it only works best in conjunction with the vocal instruction classes. Therefore, I am not ready to buy it."
Congratulations!
You just signed yourself a life sentence!
In case that person did not notice, that Spadmosic Dysphonia (SD) is untreatable, let alone cureable disease.
And I am proud to say, that I am the only person in the world who can make a difference in such a horrible occurrence.
Accept it or reject it.
But before doing that, please look at the numerous videos and listen to the testimonials.
Some of them will make you cry!

However, she's right that the best course of action would be the application of those invaluable remedies along with an even more invaluable Vocal Science™ Non-Surgical Voice Repair Course.
Which as we see, my reader, she was not indicating that she would rather come for the course and acquire (nonetheless) 6 products free of charge.
That will truly supplement our teaching and implementation of a certain "mechanism" which, in fact, does allow the voice to work in the fullest capacity possible with no pain or strain on the vocal anatomy.
The latter is applicable to any voice disorder.

Since the vocal anatomy via our instruction becomes engaged very minimally, it does leave the space on the bottom of the vocal anatomy thus available for those herbal remedies to work even more efficiently.
However, if the person temporarily, cannot access our facilities, and, moreover, attend our courses, those remedies will play the first aid to the beginning of the voice restoration and voice enhancement process.

That was a lyrical interlude in case you are wondering why we are talking about it, my reader.
But back to our first case...

Our beautiful client, however, with nodules on both vocal cords, stubbornly, decided to take only 10 hours of instruction within two and a half days and while being very grateful for even those little couple of days, which still produced quite a bit of a difference, she disappeared from our view.
Since she was very smart and bright, we even quoted to her only a 30-hour protocol, not even the 40-hour protocol as per usual.
We tried to explain to her that if the destination to which she is driving is 40km away, then she would not be able to get there in 10km...?
However, none of our persuasions helped and she went away on her merry way....

Then not too long ago we noticed that she started opening up our newsletters again - similar to the one you are reading right now my reader.
On that premise, we decided to contact her just to find out what was going on.
She responded and said that, meanwhile, she decided to travel to Istanbul, Turkey where she found, according to her, the top ENT surgeon who conducted a vocal operation on both vocal cords, removing the nodules.
When we exchanged a few messages, she said that she was still not pleased and her voice was still not performing with the same quality as it originally had been before.
We have to note that she is a high-level salesperson by trade...
You do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that her voice is the "main instrument" which she uses intensely to make her living...
Go figure!

The moral of this story is, that neither this particular person nor any other people (at least 30,000 went through our doors over these numerous years), do not have a clue that NO SURGICAL INTERFERENCE (vocal operation) is going to fix their voice/vocal problem.
Even the best ENT is not going to teach them how to speak or sing properly.
And if to mention speech therapists and/or speech pathologists, they appear just simply useless...
I can say that with absolute certainty, as I have seen it all, or at least I think so.
Mind-boggling!

We are hoping that the continuation of her proper non-surgical treatment is following (for that person's sake) and if so, we will keep you posted.
Just in case... STAY TUNED!

Case #2:
A student from New York, yet to be coming to us...
In fact, she is herself, a high school teacher.

She had been trying to book us for a whole year (literally since last December, 2022), but just finally booked her 40-hour non-surgical voice repair course and treatment, only a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, she too went to an ENT surgeon for a vocal operation on the cyst on her vocal cord and had it removed.
She also hired some kind of a vocal coach, which, evidently, has nothing to do with her vocal condition.
As you already probably guessed, my reader, this person is also not pleased with the results of such an operation and nevertheless, with the voice that came out as a consequence of it.
She, like everybody else, was promised a perfect voice within a couple of weeks or less after that surgical procedure.
As you probably already can guess, no such thing had happened and she will still be coming to us, but now for the real deal!

Case #3:
And lastly, our beloved Presidential Candidate of the United States of America, RFK Jr. (Bobby) did exactly the same thing as the first two.
He has been in direct and indirect communication with me since 2020.
He has been diagnosed with Spasmodic Dysphonia, which, in every encyclopedia and Wikipedia, is described as an untreatable, let alone curable voice/neurological disorder.

And what do you know... (if you do)?
Yours (everybody's beloved) Bobby Kennedy Jr. rushed straight to Japan (and even got himself vaccinated) and onto the operating table to conquer the vocal disease which is not operable in the first place (by any stretch of any wildest imagination).
The doctors made it sound that it would do a lot of good to the patient.
However, I do not know anyone who came out of the OR satisfied, let alone jumping for joy of happiness and "alerting the media", so to speak.
Mr. Bobby (Kennedy Jr.), like everybody else (however being a smart environmental lawyer and politician), also thought that the minute his anesthesia wore out, he would jump from the operating table and instantly would be speaking and even, perhaps, singing like a bird... LOL.
On the contrary, by the common opinion, that his voice actually got worse, and now it reverted back to where it had been originally - and nevertheless, with the "help" of tons of BOTOX!

How could very nice and educated people (as those 3 described) be so naive and trusting that some operation will fix it all and moreover, it miraculously will teach them how to use their voice properly...?

Understandably, they, nevertheless, were desperate...
But all 3 of them already knew about me beforehand, and one of them had already been a client... however momentarily.

Beats me, I certainly have no explanation for that...?
And, unfortunately, unlikely ever will...

One more time again...
GO FIGURE!

Case Study of our recent International Client, (a Businessman from Paris, France) with the Diagnosis of Sulcus Vocalis and Who Undergone 40 Hours of His Successful Voice Course and Natural Herbal Treatment

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 01:35:00 +0000

Our recent international client Cedric H. (from Paris, France), 38 years old, had suffered from Sulcus Vocalis for 3 years, as nobody was able to rectify it.

That definitely affected his business, as he lost confidence in presentations and never knew when his voice was going to cease.

Here is his testimonial after he had undergone a 40-hour course and natural herbal treatment (conducted by Widely-Renowned Master Voice/Vocal Coach and Non-Surgical Voice Repair Specialist Ms. Diana Yampolsky), which had been delivered to him over 10 consecutive days:

“My name is Cedric and I come from France.

I was diagnosed with Sulcus Vocalis about 3 years ago.

Slowly but surely, my voice started to fade off and I called Diana in September because my voice went totally off.

She found space in her busy schedule and I made my way to Canada.

Due to Diana's instruction and treatment, I went from pretty much 20% of a voice to around 90% of a voice, which makes me today very happy.

I know that there is still some progress ahead of me, but I learned a strong foundation thanks to Diana.

I was close to going for surgery and thanks to Diana's technique, I am happy to say that I avoided this severe treatment.

I am looking forward to heading back home and being able to work and enjoy some time with loved ones.

So again, thanks to Diana and her team for having me in Canada.

It was not easy.

It was a long 40 hours of training and treatment, but it was all very worth it.

I look forward to some maintenance in the future and once again will be coming to visit Diana and The Royans Team.

So thank you very much Diana.” - Cedric H. Cedric has since returned to France and wrote the following to us: "Today in the office I had a 1.5-hour meeting with other people and it went ok. However, I am still adjusting my life a lot. The ENT Doctor said that I have to continue using my voice in the right way. Of course, it is already amazing, but I have to remember to take breaks. Meanwhile, I had spent lunch until sunset with friends, and my voice was ok. When I felt that my voice was tired, I left right away and went home."

Cedric's Feedback 2 Weeks After Completing the Course

Cedric also reported that his voice now lasts up to 5 to 6 hours during some social events.

Before coming to us, he was saying that his voice did not last even 5 minutes, as it was breaking in the middle of his conversations. We are very proud of you Cedric! Way to go man! Remember that the best is yet to come! - Diana & The Royans Team

Cedric's Feedback 5 Weeks After his 40-hour Non-Surgical Voice Repair Course

You Call Yourself a Professional Singer or Speaker... Let’s Find Out If You Can Live Up to that Definition...

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 23:43:00 +0000

So you call yourself, let's say, a professional singer… yes, you have been performing for quite a few years on different stages, small and even not-so-small. You even happened to impersonate some known artists like Elvis, Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra and etc.

But then, you all of a sudden discover that your voice no longer performs like it used to….?
Some of you suddenly realized that you actually lost your high range, some of you started to sound hoarse & raspy, or even (to your big surprise), developed a serious voice/vocal condition which could be Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD), even Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD), not to mention Nodules, Polyps, Lesions, or even Cysts....

Then, in the above-described situation(s), you were probably driven to find us - The Royans Professional Vocal School, a Division of The Royans Institute for Non-Surgical Voice Repair (Since 1984).

Then we, by default, became acquainted via email, phone, WhatsApp and whatnot…
A lot of our potential clients, after we suggested that “perhaps” they had somehow acquired an incorrect speaking and/or singing technique (most likely that was the problem and cause of their vocal inadequacy), they exclaimed...“How come?... What am I doing wrong?". Then they began referencing that they were performing all their life in different venues and played numerous gigs and on numerous big stages…
They, actually, could not quite understand that the wrong application of their voice caused them their voice/vocal troubles in the first place.
Also, let’s take into consideration that the people (the audience) like to have fun and are not always aware of the proper singing by the artist (in tune and in placement), and thus, they do not really pay attention to whether or not the singer is actually using the proper technique and staying in tune, placement, rhythm and timing.
In fact, some of that audience, are actually just partially “musically deaf” and thus, oblivious to everything except having fun.

The audience, of course, does not realize that the performer (while trying to give them all that fun), is actually damaging their vocal anatomy while at it.
That is where we come in.
We are advocating the safe and sound (no pun intended) voice/vocal technique which would, evidently, save the artist’s voice for quite some time and hopefully, even for a lifetime.
For those who already happened to damage their vocal anatomy, we offer to “fix” it non-invasively and non-surgically.

Obviously, prevention is always good!

But some people, will not even think of any prevention or anything like that.
And definitely do not “see it even on the radar” that there could be some damage that could happen to their “precious” voice.

And one day... It, unfortunately, Does...
You wake up and feel immediately that something is wrong with your speaking and/or singing voice.

You feel tightness in your throat, pain and difficulty swallowing (while not even speaking or singing). You feel that your throat is full of mucous and even begin to feel the burning sensation at the bottom of the throat. That most likely is a symptom of what is called Acid Reflux.

How sad and devastating is that?
You are in a panic and do not know what to do with all that.
Naturally, the very first phone call you place is to your family Doctor.
Usually, the family Doctor offers you a referral to an ENT which on average takes 2, 3 or even 4 months to access.
Meanwhile, our future doomed clients cannot produce a sound worth listening to, and now, nevertheless, they are completely flabbergasted by the above-described facts.
They are forced to cancel their gigs, performances and engagements, which require the healthy sound of the voice.
You finally reached the ENT Doctor's Office who immediately suggested to you to have an invasive vocal operation.
Most of the time, they do not even explain exactly what is happening with the person and why that person requires surgical interference…?
Now, the sufferers, becoming even more confused and scared than before, still not knowing what to do, as they also have to, so to speak, sign off their life (before going on the operating table) suggesting that the Doctors will not be responsible for anything no matter the outcome.

Then those sufferers find us (alternative non-surgical voice repair specialists) and begin to demand all kinds of guarantees that within 5 to 10 days, they will receive a magic pill and will celebrate a full recovery which has to produce at “least 90%+” improvement of their voice to the point where their voice used to be, i.e. as radio announcers, Elvis impersonators, actors, and whatnot...
Could you imagine…?
How unrealistic does it sound?
We do not offer “snake oil”, we are, with pride, offering the real and realistic outcomes of our work.
That is also the reason why we do not do it on Zoom, Facetime, WhatsApp, Skype etc…
Because the above described are total gimmicks and no doubt, will never produce any results.

Please be advised; If somebody offers to do it on one of those platforms, they are not after your best interest, they are only after your money!!

In fact, we had clients who come to us from Europe, South Africa, Malaysia, India, China and so forth… who, before reaching us were doing Yoga (at 4:00 am) by literally standing on their heads, eating only raw fruits and vegetables, and after that, attending acupuncture sessions, as well as massage sessions performed on their throats...?
All of that would be good… but not instead of the actual approach to voice mechanics, but along with it.
The problems of voice disorders are usually mechanical and also quite often emotionally induced and then they manifest in the physical body.
So the complex of treating and establishing the “wholesome mechanism” which will allow the voice to get freed up in a strictly structural way, by learning and executing the components of such mechanism, i.e. support from the abdominal muscles, the structure of the sound rechanneled to a different set of muscles (facial muscles), placement of the sound of the voice into the facial cavities (chambers) and finally, projection of the sound to its aimed destination.
So it is “Not As Easy As It Sounds”, as our prominent Toronto newspaper called the Toronto Star once said in their article about us (in 1999).
The author (having experienced it all firsthand) also mentioned that it is definitely “not for the faint of heart”.
And I added, that it “definitely is not for the person with below-average IQ.”

I also have to mention that the Vocal Science™ Method and its unique program are extremely intense, therefore, we prefer emotionally and physically fit people embarking on such a program, and, nevertheless, those who can 'walk and chew the gum' at the same time to “save their lives”... and, nonetheless, their voice! But the latter is another topic to be continued... Please stay tuned!

Vocally Speaking… What Actually Are You Looking For? Is it, by any chance, an all-inclusive resort and/or travel advisory agency? LET’S FIND OUT!

noreply@blogger.com (Diana Yampolsky) — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 19:07:00 +0000

Why are you asking these questions, and what exactly does the title mean… you might be wondering, my readers?

The answer is:
We are getting quite peculiar questions from our prospective clients, and even a few times a day...
People are calling us and asking if, during their course and treatment we will provide them with room & board, meals, transportation, a laundromat nearby, a cheap rental car and what have you…?

At first, we were very surprised and even amused by the above questions and, moreover, the expectations of our prospective clients.

Today, we are actually getting used to it…
How sad is that?

In a real sense, it is actually pretty unfortunate because those people are actually not even joking.
In fact, they do truly believe that the above-described is the absolute minimum that we will have to provide them with…huh?

However, as “funny” as it sounds, it still never ceases to amaze us.

Clearly, we hope that they understand that we are not an all-inclusive resort… (haha)
In fact, our format is very far from it…
However, we can easily advise you on the number of hours of flying or even driving to us from anywhere in North America and even Asia. That is because we have received people practically from every state of the United States and the rest of the world, now for over 40 years of our existence.

To date, throughout those 40+ years, we serviced (practically the whole universe) in an estimated amount of at least 30,000 people (taught in person and privately by us) who went through our doors…
The above is not to count the group workshops and seminars conducted nationally and internationally.

Since 1984… WE ARE The Royans Professional Vocal School, Division of The Royans Institute for Non-Surgical Voice Repair.
And even (we ourselves have to say) that ANY of the courses which we have been conducting (especially concerning any voice repair sessions) are definitely “not a picnic” (by any stretch of any wildest imagination)!

Many of our clients think they are coming to us for a vacation…?
Thus they want to bring their whole family with them, not realizing they are coming for very hard work to fix and restore their voice non-surgically.

In fact, all of our sessions are extremely intense, as our prominent Toronto Star newspaper, rightfully so (in their article Not As Easy As It Sounds, written in 1999) said, “It is definitely not for the faint of heart”.
I, “sadly”, added, “And definitely not for the people with below-average IQ…”

In the not-very-distant past, we had quite a few Jewish people coming to us from Brooklyn, New York, who were very religious and were asking us to find them a Synagogue… In the mostly Catholic city of Newmarket, Ontario…
Go figure!
And believe it or not, our senior manager Jamie McKay, actually discovered, to our biggest surprise, that Newmarket indeed had a Synagogue!
We, in turn, happily advised our Jewish-American clients that we have a Synagogue for them to go to pray 3 times a day (as they advised us that it has to be done that often and no less).

In Newmarket...?

However, when they arrived and I started my sessions with them (some of them were Cantors, Rabbis or just religious Synagogue goers) they realized that they had absolutely no time to go to the Synagogue, and moreover, no physical strength left to do so…
I usually run two sessions a day of 2-2.5 hours duration each, with a break for lunch or dinner depending on the time of the day those sessions were conducted.

When I asked those clients if they were planning to leave for the Synagogue, they said, in a clear but soft, tired, voice, “No Diana…I am too exhausted to go anywhere right now… I’d rather stay here and pray in your studio if it is ok”.

That was mainly at a time when I temporarily worked at my ex-in-laws mansion located in Mount Albert, Ontario.
So the clients occupied their space for our sessions, as well as for their prayers.
I think my German Catholic relatives at the time, nearly were ready to convert to Judaism LOL.

Then practically around the same time, we had received a student from San Fransisco who was quite a renowned scientist.
However, he really was eager to find out if he could become a singer, because of his parents who were professional singers, but, for whatever reason, they had never allowed him to sing a note…

Before arriving in Toronto, he planned to visit all kinds of bars, restaurants and events at night after the sessions were over with me and even stayed at an Airbnb right downtown (which was located over an hour away from Mount Albert, ON - North of the city).
Throughout those sessions, I had been asking him how his evening outings were going.
He said, “Diana, if only… I was so tired and exhausted by the time I was coming home that I could only go to sleep. I was sometimes even missing dinner.”

I’m afraid to say, but, evidently, his parents were right, as my doomed student (in my opinion), had absolutely no singing talent whatsoever.
However, I, myself, certainly do have a talent and I definitely can instill at least a part of my talent in practically anyone (even the most hopeless speakers and/or singers).

So my student left very pleased with my talent and my skill, but, with the full realization that he, himself, actually did not have much talent to sing and/or perform.
On that note, he said, “Thank you Diana, I now know why my parents were withholding from me their singing craft. They knew that I had a scientific talent and, all my life, they were guiding me into that field. Moreover, during the time that I’ve spent with you, I definitely realized that I should not be quitting my daytime job.”

We have told you quite a bit…
For the record, there are many more relevant stories that are yet to come your way (if you’d like).
However, you can always unsubscribe from our newsletters if you feel that it is too much for you to comprehend.
And if so, we will understand…

Stay tuned and do not go away too far!
Please be advised that this is not a commercial…
Those are true stories that actually occurred!

Her mother, Stacy Jax, wrote to us after Tory's course was completed highlighting Diana Yampolsky's services:

"She's professional, knows how to repair the voice and has been able to help people who actually thought that their only option was surgery or , otherwise, to live with their voice in a less than ideal capacity. She can help those who struggle on a daily basis with their vocal challenges.

Mark is an executive of a big reputable aviation company (Southwest Airlines).

His job is highly packed with using his voice for presentations, meetings, gatherings, scheduling of employees and many other responsibilities requiring a healthy and vibrant voice.

When he came to us, it was indeed his last option as he tried many other so-called 'medical professionals, but all of that was to no avail.

He still was suddenly losing his voice during his presentations and seminars and never was confident anymore that he would actually start and finish his speech without his voice disappearing.

Please see his video sitting in our studio and spilling out his now healthy voice and healthy emotions after 10 days (45 hours of our unique instruction coupled with intake of select herbal and some homeopathic remedies).
