Extreme Magazine - Musician Tips
Originally Published in Extreme - WNY & Ontario's New Music Magazine - issue 21
Competition is fierce in today's music industry. Securing a record contract, let alone getting the attention of a record label, is no longer as easy as writing one good tune. They want the total package. A great vocalist is a sure way to hook the ears of those A & R types that never seem to return your phone calls.
While traditional vocal lessons require months and years of training, the ability to sing can now be improved virtually overnight thanks to Diana Yampolsky's new holistic approach to vocal development. Now there is hope for the hopeless. The Russian born music teacher operates The Royans School For The Musical Performing Arts in North Toronto and guarantees singers to reach a semi-professional or professional level in just 10 hours. Her scientific approach to voice mechanics is like no other technique.
"Diana does not work on the voice, she works on the brain," says CFTO News Eye on Toronto. "I access a cell of the brain which is responsible for your voice. I assure that your brain will give a command to your voice to do exactly what I will program it to do." This belief is an integration and synergy to the holistic approach to voice mechanics with the mind, body, and soul and the voice as an outcome. Hence, Yampolsky insists that she does not work on the vocal chords. Often aspiring singers have no clue what they are doing when they step up to a microphone. The end result can be vocal anatomy damage.
Diana's clientele includes international artists, record labels and producers. Topping the list of vocalists she has aided include Raine from OUR LADY PEACE before the band was signed. Diana's technique has received personal recognition from various singers (Raine, Sebastion Bach), recording studios (Grant Avenue, The Chalet), record company A&R (Kim Cooke of Warner Brothers Canada, Brian Allen of Attic) and even entertainment lawyers firms (Zack Werner of Sanderson & Associates).
Yampolsky has two upcoming manuals. The aptly titled How Not To Become A Singer And Work Harder At Doing It and Flight To The Universe, in which the latter explores her theory of the voice being a spirit.
