This article highlights the history and founding of The Professional Vocal School, AKA The Royans School for the Musical Performing Arts.

Please check out the story of the school which is today almost 39 years old (Since 1984):

Sulcus Vocalis (Vocal Cords Gap). How Could It Be Dealt With Employing Unconventional Vocal Science™ Method and its Revolutionary Voice/Vocal Technique?

"(Sulcus Vocalis sufferers) usually experience a raspy/hoarse voice. They can also sound as if they even stutter a little (due to the enlarged gap between their vocal cords). That is why, because the sound of their voice (in a manner of speaking) falls in between their vocal cords/folds.

Evidently, the timing of the vocal cords opening and closing (on certain occasions) not always corresponds with the actual voice formation; And, thus, the above-described symptoms are prevalent. By that point, the “alignment” between the subconscious mind, conscious mind, physical body and the actual voice, becomes exponentially challenged! "

Voice/Vocal Disorders Classic Diagnosis: Could vocal cords' health be affected by Acid Reflux...? Can it also be affected by Muscle Tension Dysphonia or even Spasmodic Dysphonia (not to mention by any growth on the vocal anatomy...)?

"A lot of my clients come to me with problems which often require voice repair, coming with the diagnosis of acid reflux while, concurrently, obeying the doctor’s orders; they have been taking all kinds of anti-acids, changed their diets and etc., but, however, and unfortunately, in the real sense, they did not achieve any feasible-tangible results.

Those sufferers' voices remained to be still hoarse and raspy and, nevertheless, they still had no clue how to properly speak or sing, let alone they had no understanding or knowledge of how it can be treated, not to mention, how such occurrences can be prevented from happening again and again..."

We're Proud of Our Past and are Presently Working Hard to Assure Even Greater Success in the Foreseeable Future - Dedicated to our Upcoming 39th Anniversary of The Royans Professional Vocal School 

"We're just about to arrive at our 39th anniversary of what was originally called "The Royans School for the Musical Performing Arts" and sometime later, it had been renamed (more so to the point), "The Royans Professional Vocal School".

As time passed by, a new title was added, and it is now well-known as, "The Royans Professional Vocal School, Division of The Royans Institute for Non-Surgical Voice Repair." 

Needless to say, at this present time, we are more concerned about people's mental state than their voices..."

"God has inspired Diana to create a brilliantly simple process in order to address a very complex thing. And while Vocal Science is the most difficult thing I've ever done, it is also the most disarmingly logical process I could've imagined undergoing to begin to restore the health and reliability of my voice. As someone who previously struggled for 20 years to regain the ethereal experience I remembered using my voice to be, and who painstakingly searched for help to do it, it was difficult at first to believe I could possibly have found the person who could help me...and yet, I have. 

For those many years, while I was fortunate to have stumbled across a few (of many) teachers who empathized with my struggle and who offered compassion while telling me the *what* I needed to do, what was perpetually absent was sufficient expertise to guide me through the *HOW.* With each wasted session of speech-level singing or pointless scales, the disconnectedness I felt between my voice as I remembered it, and where I then found myself, only grew. And as my search continued, I learned that those so-called "teachers" were each, perhaps even unknowingly, yet insidiously, deepening that disconnect, and widening that gap to a spectacularly echoey chasm. 

Diana is honest, demanding, gruffly hilarious, pointed, and will not allow herself to be satisfied contributing anything but everything that she has to the process. She doesn't waste time telling you how great you are. Instead, she helps you recognize how great you *can* be...if you'll step into the discomfort you'll no doubt face. You'll have to be willing to bare your skin, but she doesn't ask you to do anything she isn't herself willing to do. She doesn't just hold your hand. She grabs it and doesn't allow you to shake free of it until you've begun experiencing what she's going to tell you from the first moment, is possible. Sweaty palms and all. It is "tough love" at its epitome. 

As a professional coach of more than two decades, I so appreciate and resonate with her candor, dedication, diligence, uncompromising persistence, and transparency. If you're not used to that...and it's been my experience that most people aren't...you may at first feel stunned and even...alarmed. But this is the best part of the whole process. That Diana pulls the most destructive habits from you, brings your awareness to them, then ultimately gives you the tools to get rid of them...for good. And from there (as she likes to say) “the best is yet to come”. 

God bless you, Diana. I appreciate you."

Santa Claus is Leavin'... Town?

…You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
You're asking us why...?

… SANTA CLAUS IS LEAVIN' OUR TOWN!

"Bye Bye til next year!

Ho-Ho-Ho!" 

This Holiday Season we had a few special promotions from (Guess whom?)...

Santa Claus, who was ready to give them away to those who are good (and not naughty LOL). 

Our Santa Claus is very selective about whom he was willing to give his special giveaways to.

Since Santa Claus and his entourage (Mrs. Claus and the Elves) have been very busy.

On a separate, but related note: 

If interested in more specific details regarding the aforementioned promotions (since they are ending December the 26th), please inquire via email info@vocalscience.com or

info@repairyourvoice.com

or by phone at 416-857-8741

Mrs. Claus (Diana Yampolsky) would be happy to give you more detailed information as well as to conduct a phone assessment and then decide if she would take her valuable time away from her husband Santa Claus to accommodate the (chosen by her) person under her care and under her roof! 

On the 26th of December (Boxing Day), it is the last day when Santa will be generously giving away his gifts... (highly discounted rates on our courses and treatments) 

This Monday, however (December the 26th), Santa Claus is going to pack up Mrs. Claus, his elves and whatever is left of his presents into his bag and then will be taking a flight back to the North Pole.

Ho-Ho-Ho! 

On a more serious note, please check out our quite limited availability for such courses and treatments mentioned above:

See a few people's reactions after witnessing the after-instruction studio recording from our singing student Alex Mk:

"The recording from the studio was so amazing. Thank you very much for sharing it with me. It honestly made such a large difference to listen to the song with an understanding of the placement of the sound and voice, having taken lessons from you, and it was so evident to hear the hours of training paid off in the final recording itself. I could truly hear how healthy the voice sounded. Sorry again for taking a while to get back to you - I had to really sit down with a fresh mind and listen to it focused to properly to appreciate the several hundreds of hours of work it took to record the 3 minute song. It is crazy how much work goes in to perfecting each and every syllable working with you on a piece. I can't imagine how much of time it would have taken to produce the final result, but it sounds incredible. So much work was put in by you and the artist behind the scenes and  it was so inspiring for sure. You must both be so proud ♥️ thank you so much for sharing it with me. "
- Shania S. (Former MTD Sufferer and Aspiring Singer)

"Hello Vlad and Diana, 

I think that Diana has an exceptional talent and blessed with such an amazing knowledge,  which is not only healing one's vocal structure, healing person's self image and perception, but also able to make a dream of singing a reality,  that puts them in a position to take singing to a professional level and opening a whole new world of music career,  which without Diana's help will not be possible.  

That is my honest opinion. 

The possibility of recording a song in this kind of studio is a cherry on top of a cake to celebrate person's achievement and Diana's hard work.

Always with love and respect to Diana and you Vlad for all your efforts and hard work, "

- Veronika H. (Former Singing and Voice Repair Student)

"Hi Elf Vlad and Ms. Claus! 

I wanted to say I love Radioheads's song Creep, the lyrics are so desperate and raw and relatable to many in varying degrees at some point or another during this life journey.....Anyway lol.....when Alex sings her version, the very first line makes me FEEL the emotion and almost makes my eyes water up. I hope she records this for the radio. I would buy it! I think many others would feel the same as me. 

Thank you for choosing the perfect herbal remedy for my voice & sending it on its merry way to me. ????I will be watching with my face pressed against the window for its arrival!  ???? 

As for the recording sessions? Just wow! I am of course not even close to an expert but I love beautiful things and this young singer's voice sounds

much improved from the 1st video to the 2nd. 2 thumbs up guys and most so how exciting and promising for your young singer. Thank you for both sharing and sending. "

- Lindy K. (Herbal Kit Recipient & Future Voice Repair Client) 

" WOW she sounds VERY CLEAR in the second one!!

Haha yea your absolutely key to her career!❤️

I can’t wait to start making payments again!!

I really would love to go to the studio with you!!

I just want you to know that I’m not going to stop!! We will get there!

I miss you and Toronto!????

I hope you both had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I worked on Thanksgiving and really didn’t celebrate it.????‍♀️

Thank you sooo sooo much for sending those to me VERY INSPIRATIONAL!"

- Aubrie Morris (Previous Voice Repair Client (MTD), Aspiring Singing Student)

"I enjoyed the subtle soothing sound of her vocals that break into the true Radiohead Creep fashion of a borderline balance between sanity and psychosis harmony." - Kris Lindberg (Youtube Comment)

We would like to introduce and profile our singing client (up-and-coming singer/songwriter) Alexandra MK from LA California and Congratulate her on her first demo recording of the song "Creep".  

In the middle of our journey, she wrote to us her feedback and highlighted the fact that 30 teachers were trying to bring her voice up, but evidently to no avail. 

See her feedback here: https://www.vocalscience.com/alex-mk-letter 

After many times (throughout this year) travelling to us from LA to Toronto, and receiving quite a few hours of instruction and treatment, we finally were able to produce an acoustic demo of the song "Creep" originated by "Radiohead", which you can witness for yourself. 

Recorded at MetalWorks Studios. 

Stay tuned for Alex's original songs coming soon. 

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

"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 vocal technique, they end up overusing it and, nevertheless, abusing it to the “point of no return”...

Santa Claus is Coming to Town Soon!

…You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
… Santa Claus is comin' to town!

This Holiday Season we have a few specials from (Guess whom?)...
Santa Claus, who is ready to give them away to those who are good (and not naughty LOL). 
Our Santa Claus is very selective about whom he will be willing to give his special giveaways.
Since Santa Claus and his entourage (Mrs. Claus and the Elves) are very busy now, he has only so many giveaways to hand out to those who deserve it and those who are worthy of it (LOL).
However, be aware, that almost in every joke, there is at least 90% of truth and thus, only 10% of the joke.
Ho-Ho-Ho!

"Dear Diana,

Thank you so much for the love and guidance you showed me in Toronto. I feel so blessed for this to have been my first time here, and I very much look forward to many more visits ahead.

Although initially, I was a bit intimidated from the outset and onwards, I greatly appreciated your raw honesty about my voice. I definitely needed to hear it all, and now have a much better understanding of what it takes to be a good voice user. There’s a lot of work ahead of me, but I know I will achieve it all with you by my side.

Thank you so much for treating me so special during my stay. I am very grateful to have you as a mentor and am thankful to be on this vocal journey with you."

With love,

Shania"

Hi Everyone, 

"Vocally Speaking; Against all odds... Is there ever a Change with… No Change?" 

In a nutshell, and per se, nobody apparently knows how to sing properly, let alone professionally, at least not in a safe and efficient way. Moreover and evidently, the Artists' voices have already been used up in the earlier promotional performances and concerts...
