ABSTRACT Rethinking Isometric; How the Modern Biomechanics Findings on Coactivation Help in Defining Better Isometric Concept.

on By

My abstract for the Voice Science – biomechanics – panel at PEVoC15 2024.
Isometric is a pillar in voice things, to nuance and define it better is crucial to find the options and tools for artistic or just communication voice. It is my every day work to find isometric in many not finding it no matter the quality of the training or the medical therapies. Here I am showing it into the more theoretical at the basis of my work and results.
It can be a workshop.


What brings a tear of joy

on By

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

The last has been the emergency sessions with a professional singer that I did not know previously – we made some of my special exercises after that she impaired her voice. Hearing her doing all the performances she had booked in Edinburgh and in Ireland moved tears in me. As it does seeing how longer students blossom, it still does – even after nearly 20 years of those constant results.

My craft and innovation in vocal technique are yes a contribution both theoretical and scientific but they start and have the deeper sense in the every day work with the singers. Singers are the centre of my craft and knowledge development. Seeing them perform and turn around problems or careers is the thing.

Enjoy her, me still with some happy tears today ☀️☀️

A development path with a young classical voice.

00:00 My considerations on voice and development. Our path in those 10 months of lessons; listen her singing: 13:57 six months lessons and working on her first Wagner 14:58 eight months lessons Villanelle Berlioz, 16:19 ten months lessons third lecture of Tu che di gel sei cinta Puccini Turandot; pieces of lessons: 39:22 17 February 2024 working on Villanelle Les nuitts d’été Berlioz, 50:15 Oh quanta volte Giulietta Capuleti e Montecchi Bellini, 51:01 02 March 2024 tongue work 54:50 vocalisation 01:03:06 28 April 2024 Vocalisation, 01:13:40 Wishing you were somehow here again Phantom of the Opera, 01:19:27 So in love Kiss me Kate, 01:22:07 10 May 2024 second lecture of Tu she di gel sei cinta Turandot, 01:24:11 Briefing anatomical 01:30:00 vocalisation 01:51:52 Panofka Op. 85, 02:09:04 working on Tu she di gel sei cinta Turandot, Working on Summertime Porgy & Bess 02:19:50

Well, she was a pretty different voice: it has taken the usual nine months to really start hearing what it looks like her voice is. It is the timing of the first smooth tissues adaptations, now without rushing have to maintain the excellent practice to maintain the complete development that in literature is commonly said in the 2-3 years and in my practice I find the same.

  • Now while she is in more satisfying repertoire we are working on all the management on all the tessitura, the higher notes will just grow physiological, have now to control not to push them even if for a competition… longer horizons are more important.
    .
    cossumethod is the cross bridging of advanced functional biomechanics finding into the context of voice and their specific relevance to serve voice production and artistic voice, both spontaneous and technical.

Lucia Cossu voiceteacher
Italian/French voice teacher for professionals and future pro singers, innovator in vocal technique specialised in training and personalised solutions, voice development and voice preparation for touring/recording, young voices development without forcing the delicate and respectful balance of young talents. She has solved strain/issues and limitations of singers unsolvable by training or medical therapies. Those skills have 15 years of successful career and voice transformations in all styles; hospitals have sent her some desperate cases, all successfully.

Her innovative perspective has been recently presented at the prestigious Pan-European Voice Conference PEVoC14 2022 in one paper and two workshops and three Posters at The Voice Foundation 52nd Annual Symposium May 31- June 4 2023 in Philadelphia, she will be again at both in 2024 with two oral presentations, two workshops and two more Posters. She calls this perspective the (R)Evolution of voice model, or if you prefer cossumethod in the actual practice.

She comes from an international soloist career in classical music that a malpractice during an abdominal surgery has interrupted (the surgeon has been convicted).

Courses and workshops are available online from everywhere and in person can be arranged.

Presenter again in Philly!

on By

Very happy, I will present at The Voice foundation 53rd Symposium. Second year in a row, honoured and happy.

Unilateral and voice production: do you ever think of how the unilateral work can be crucial or convenient for training, voice limitations or voice longevity? From my studio and the athletes functional practices my presentation at the 53rd symposium of the Voice Foundation.

And other two Posters on hips in treatment/training refractory voices and how to train separately tone production and words production. As usual bridging the gap from excellent and tradition practices with contemporary biomechanical findings.

If you are there pass by and say hello!

My first The Voice Foundation Symposium

on By

Thank you The Voice Foundation Symposium: you showed an immense unexpected quantity of interest in my work, some huge enthusiasm, some doubts and then interest, the interest from exceptional from the field who took my contact recognising the unusual and relevance and unprecedented of my practical results, not asked and precious advice for the next steps and last the -Sometimes you must be controversial to assess new knowledges, said by one of the most respected voice surgeons.
I come out reinforced, with an upgrown view of the weaknesses in communicating and expressing those controversial points I represent, being viewed and mostly feeling existing now the topic on the table, a better view on when and where my work is not the good option and the other options available to address my clients to and new knowledge and what and how they are doing in the field. Some dance was even refreshing and so fun. Thank you

Breath exercise: unblock lungs and vocal tract

on By

Thoracic segment and vocal tract can present some blocks into a fundamental function for singers.
This is an exercise that can unblock a physiological movement, used more consistently it helps developing the high sternum preaching of many (from Tetrazzini to Seth Riggs and many others).
You can do it then forget about while singing or use it and sing with it.
Try it and if you want you can ask about in my Thursday ask me session in my stories.
.

The Cossu method is a way to manipulate directly voice production from the body and not just from vocal tract and air. It is an amazing and at today new tool to obtain a voice in difficult objectives situations and conditions. It has had results confirmed by voice production and abilities, careers with a clear discontinuity from before it, confirmed in medical objectives exams and cases.

. I am a voice teacher specialised in technique and solutions for professional singers and future professionals. I use italian Belcanto and Cossu method, a way to manipulate directly voice production from the body and not just from vocal tract and air. It is an amazing and at today new tool to obtain a voice in difficult objectives situations and conditions. It has had results confirmed by voice production and abilities, careers with a clear discontinuity from before it, confirmed in medical objectives exams and cases. I come from a soloist career in classical music interrupted by a long septicaemia.
I had results also in vocal issues of organic and functional origin under medical control, called by their doctors or speech therapists, here some of them https://atomic-temporary-42869468.wpcomstaging.com/cossu-method-program
