Vocal Lessons
Emiliano Blasi’s vocal lessons are designed to cultivate natural vocal production and bring out the full potential of each individual’s voice. Grounded in the bel canto technique, his method focuses on deeply understanding and harmonizing the connection between voice and body, creating a richer and more liberated sound. Rather than simply strengthening the voice, the approach helps to unlock it by utilizing the body’s innate functions, guiding students closer to the essence of music. His teaching has earned the trust of a wide range of voice professionals, including opera singers, musicians, actors, and monks. Many of his students have gone on to deliver outstanding performances on stage and in the media, gaining more expressive and resonant voices. Each lesson is tailored to the student's voice and goals, providing an environment where both beginners and professionals can explore their musicality more deeply.
Lesson Features
Awareness of Your Own Body
The voice is a musical instrument, and that instrument resides within your own body. Vocalization is a complex process involving the entire body—not only the vocal cords, but also the lungs, diaphragm, throat, oral cavity, and resonating chambers. Understanding how and where the voice resonates allows for the creation of a more natural and rich tone.
In lessons, the focus is not merely on learning how to produce sound, but on becoming aware of how your body generates voice. You will practically learn how to use your breath properly, how the muscles function, how the vocal cords move, and how all the parts work together in harmony.
It is essential not to force the voice, but to use the body’s natural functions to produce sound. By speaking or singing in a relaxed state without unnecessary tension, you can bring out the full potential of your voice. This focus on how to use the body effectively allows you to sing for long periods without straining your throat and to acquire a sustainable vocal technique.
Establishing the Basics and Choosing Repertoire
Attempting to sing challenging pieces without first building a solid foundation in proper vocal technique can strain the voice and cause damage to the vocal cords. Many people wish to sing their favorite or dream songs, but tackling a difficult repertoire too early often leads to forced vocalization.
In lessons, the emphasis is first on learning proper vocal technique and breathing, followed by selecting a repertoire that suits the student’s voice. By establishing the core principles of bel canto—breath flow, vocal support, and resonance control—the tone quality improves and expressive range expands.
Repertoire selection depends greatly on each individual’s vocal characteristics, range, and expressive ability. Since each genre—opera, classical, musical theatre, sacred music—requires different vocal techniques, the instructor recommends pieces that match the student’s voice. This approach allows students to naturally expand their repertoire while developing proper vocal technique.
Correct Pronunciation and Diction
In opera and classical music singing, diction is one of the most important elements. If the clarity of words is lacking, no matter how beautiful the melody, it becomes difficult for the audience to grasp the meaning and emotions of the lyrics. Focusing on correct vowel pronunciation and the natural flow of words enhances vocal clarity and expressiveness.
Especially in classical music, where singers are required to perform in multiple languages such as Italian, French, German, and English, it is essential to understand the pronunciation differences between languages and acquire the appropriate vocal techniques. By balancing vowel and consonant production and maximizing the rhythm and resonance of words, a more natural and beautiful singing expression is achieved.
Moreover, diction is not just about “correct pronunciation”—it is deeply connected to musical phrasing and flow. Singing with an open throat creates unity between words and music, allowing for more emotionally rich delivery. Lessons provide balanced guidance in both vocal production and diction, helping students develop smooth and natural pronunciation in any language.
Customized Instruction for Each Individual
We provide personalized lesson plans tailored to each participant’s vocal characteristics and goals. Our instruction covers a wide range of needs including opera, classical music, musicals, and vocal training for professions that require voice use—such as actors, voice actors, and monks.
For example, aspiring opera singers receive lessons focused on stage vocal projection and expressive techniques, while actors and voice actors are taught vocal techniques suitable for narration and dialogue. For professionals like monks or teachers who use their voices for long periods, we offer methods to project the voice safely without straining the throat.
We also propose optimal training methods based on age and the condition of the vocal cords. The techniques required to foster the development of a young voice differ from those needed to maintain stability in a mature voice. Taking these factors into account, we offer fully customized instruction designed to maximize each person’s natural vocal brilliance.
As part of the lessons, we regularly organize concerts and recitals, offering students opportunities to perform on stage. These live performances allow them to assess the progress they’ve made and deepen their practical learning. It also provides a chance to develop stage presence and audience communication skills, fostering confidence as professional performers. Through this practical instruction, we support each participant in confidently expressing their own voice.
The Aim of Emiliano Blasi’s Vocal Lessons
The voice is not merely a sound, but an “instrument” in which body, mind, and emotions are united. Emiliano Blasi’s vocal lessons aim not only to improve technique but also to understand and make full use of one’s own voice. By exploring the essence of vocal production and deepening musical expression, students cultivate a singing voice where “resonance,” “expression,” and “emotion” are fully integrated.
Exploring the Essence of the Voice
– A Fundamental Approach to Vocal Production
For Emiliano Blasi, the most important aspect of studying vocal music is pursuing “natural and effortless vocal production.” His teaching does not focus on “producing a loud sound” or “forcing high notes,” but rather on drawing out the resonance of the voice you already have and learning to control it in a relaxed and natural way.
Based on the idea that “the voice is created with the entire body,” his lessons emphasize the coordination of breathing, posture, resonance, and phonation. For example, by becoming aware of how to use the diaphragm, students learn to ensure a natural airflow and stabilize the voice without straining the throat. Regarding resonance, he explains that “just changing the place where sound resonates dramatically alters the voice,” and he teaches the use of the head, chest, and oral cavities as key resonating areas that create rich and full vocal tones.
Vocal Practice Utilizing “Support” and “Resonance”
Both support (appoggio) and resonance are essential in vocal production. Support refers to the technique of properly controlling the diaphragm to create vocal stability, forming the foundation for sustained and effortless sound production. Resonance enriches the tone and broadens expressive range by using different areas such as the head, nasal cavities, chest, and mouth.
In lessons, students learn vocal techniques not only for opera, art songs, and sacred music, but also for contemporary genres like pop, rock, and musicals. Classical singing emphasizes deep resonance, pop and rock focus on microphone-based projection, and musicals require clear diction and wide vocal dynamics—each genre is approached with its own suitable technique.
Since unnecessary tension in the neck and shoulders can block vocal flow, posture and breathing are also adjusted to maintain a relaxed state for vocalization. By balancing support and resonance, students can achieve a richer, more sustainable, and natural voice.
Understanding Vocal Mechanisms and Reclaiming Your Natural Voice
Emiliano Blasi points out that “many people are unaware of the natural resonance of their voice.” Trying to make the voice louder by forcing it, or straining the throat to reach high notes, can diminish its natural sound and increase pressure on the throat. In truth, the voice should be produced using the entire body, not just the throat.
In the lessons, students learn how the vocal cords and resonating chambers function, and how to use their body efficiently for natural vocal production. For example, by adjusting the flow of breath, unnecessary tension is released, allowing the voice to resonate naturally with the breath. By maintaining proper posture and avoiding excess tension in the chest or throat, effortless and resonant sound can be achieved. Furthermore, by learning how to adjust resonance, it becomes possible to develop a richer voice that can carry further.
The goal is not to manufacture the voice, but to free the voice that already exists within. Many people restrict their vocal potential due to incorrect habits, but by understanding the correct vocal mechanisms, they can rediscover their body’s natural resonance and nurture a voice that expresses itself freely and effortlessly.
Professional Use of the Voice and Achievements
The voice plays a vital role not only for singers, but also in many other professions. Actors, voice actors, monks, teachers, and business professionals take lessons to develop greater expressiveness and refined vocal techniques. In each field, they use the power of their voice to expand their opportunities. For instance, a monk once attended lessons with the goal of deepening the resonance used during sutra chanting.
In the business world as well, the voice has a significant impact. Increasingly, corporate leaders and public speakers are taking lessons to make their presentations and speeches more persuasive. Enhancing vocal resonance and articulation, along with refining tone and expressiveness, can dramatically improve how their message is received by the audience.
Furthermore, the instruction incorporates scientific knowledge of vocal mechanisms, helping students to understand how the vocal cords and resonance points function. This allows them to acquire vocal techniques grounded in theory, rather than relying solely on intuition—making it possible to develop a compelling voice in any professional context.
Refining Your Voice Means Facing Yourself
“The voice reflects a person’s way of life and emotional state,” says Emiliano Blasi. Refining one’s voice is not only about improving technique—it is also a process of deep self-exploration. By becoming aware of posture, breathing, and the use of resonance while singing, we learn to reconsider how we use our body and release unnecessary tension. This affects not only vocal performance but also the quality of breathing and speaking in daily life, contributing to emotional balance and confidence in self-expression.
Exploring the potential of your own voice and drawing it out fully leads to greater freedom in expression. Discovering which kind of resonance feels most natural and how to use your voice to communicate more clearly deepens self-awareness, creating harmony between the voice and the inner self.
Through these lessons, as the voice begins to resonate more easily and richly, both singing and speaking abilities expand. Refining your voice becomes a vital first step toward understanding yourself more deeply and achieving a more natural and compelling form of expression.
