Your desire of being an outstanding, satisfied singing professional and feeling comfortable with almost every career challenge, mostly collides with the fact that your autonomic nervous system is working to keep you alive… this is when things on stage don’t work as you expect. Then you might start calculating: demands are above average high… are resources enough? Pressure grows…

THE GOOD NEW is your body can’t relate to your math. Your body speaks its own language of senses, and you want to learn the one of EASE and EFFICIENT EFFORT.

WHAT IF there is a way to practice, a way to sing, where EASE is not something your solve technically but a tool to work with. A tool that boosts sensitive singing precision…

… one that turns perfectionism into the sensitive art of navigating your voice & body
… one that opens sound possibilities and restores your sense of choice
… one that allows you to shape your sound intentions according to your possibilities
… one that allows your sound to become richer with little effort
… one that allows registration, coloratura, runs and riffs to work organically
… one that turns judgemental listening into functional listening
… one that turns a “productivity mindset” into a vivid, creative and rewarding process

… one that guides you step by step through the process to

I am Gabriela Labanda

Singer – Singing Voice Specialist – Singing Teacher – Trauma Informed Voice Professional

After a traditional singing study and already in my first contract in Germany, I met the New Yorker singing teacher Cornelius Reid, and his Functional Voice Development.

With him, I had my first autonomic nervous system based singing approach. A completely new and efficient way of training singing functions that are physiologically self-organized: pitch accuracy, vibrato, intensity, messa di voce.

The vocal tract and the respiratory system are attached to a bigger system: the autonomic nervous system. Gaining autonomic awareness allowed me to close the gap between intentional & unvoluntary voice production. As a consequence the singing voice organize itself and produces a richer sound with ease.

Some years later, I met the Neuro Affective Relational Model and Somatic Experiencing and went deeper into the relationship singing voice-nervous system. Befriending them is the secret to restore voice health,  high performance and the feeling well-being on stage.

This online program combines both: self-organized singing and nervous system regulation to help singers deal with bad voice days,  restore singing voice functions and the sense of safety and voice connection.

WHAT SINGERS ARE SAYING…

Finding a person with Gabriela’s experience and knowledge was what encouraged me the most. Her online program “Sing well when it matters” is a short course, based on specific knowledge about anxiety and a clear methodology to approach such a common feeling that can interfere in our performance. It opens possibilities for you to investigate and exercises to experiment and regulate your nervous system. The “group feeling” was a big plus to share with other musicians and realize you are not alone. On top, you can express individual doubts or experiences directly to Gabriela.

“I definetely recommend the BAD TO VIVID VOICE DAYS workshop for singers
who’d like to understand the relationtionship between ANS and voice or for those
who are looking for an integrated approach to singing as a whole body-mind
experience and probaly are a little bit tired of micro-managing;)
Thank you very much for your workshop and sharing your knowledge with us,
being helpful, patient and supportive!”

Galina Rosert

Opera singer, Sopran. Germany

“BAD TO VIVID VOICE DAYS is the perfect workshop to look behind the scenes
and get a way deeper understanding of the topic voice and how to work with voice
as an artist and teacher. It goes beyond technique and gives you new possibilities
of solving problems and approaching your voice in a holistic way. Explained very
well, scientific insights and very useful exercises!
Thank you very much! I really loved the workshop”

Tabea Emmelmann

Jazz singer, Singing teacher, Holistic Voice therapy Germany

I really enjoyed the BAD TO VIVID VOICE DAYS workshop! For me it felt like the missing piece to getting my voice back after many years struggling with muscle tension dysphonia. Gabriela’s nervous system based approach to the singing voice was unique and helped to bridge the gaps in my knowledge. Bad voice days have been plaguing me for years but the practical and structured tools I learnt from Gabriela in this course have helped me to feel like I finally have the means to turn one around.

WHAT SINGERS ARE SAYING…

I participated in Gabriela’s Openclasses (Teatro San Martin, Argentina). Her audition’s training helped me feeling just good in auditions and competitions… And it has already yielded great results! I recently became a contract as a Soprano in an Opera Choir. Gabriela’s warm and human way of working towards excellence turned my pressure into enthusiasm. I also participated in her course Pedagogy of Singing (University’s Music Institute, Argentina). There, Gabriela weaves the art and science of singing and teaching… That’s when I realized: there is no good singing lesson without taking into account the person behind the voice.

If you are looking to widen your knowledge about the way your voice works and how your whole body can help in the process, “Sing well when it matters” is the course you need. The performer’s loop with the concepts of pre-performance and post-performance were new and very helpful to organize my expectations.
“Ears work”, fascinating. Here you’ll find concrete explanations of bodily functions that come together to make sound in a healthy and acoustically efficient way. Gabriela is generous with her knowledge and thorough in her explanations. I loved that she showed genuine interest in everyone’s questions and always took her time to answer them.

Pilar Soto

Soprano, Opera Choir of Teatro San Martin, Tucumán, Argentina

If you’re struggling with your voice, especially at important concerts or big events, I highly recommend you working with Gabriela. She clearly explains how nerves affect your body and your singing – and even better: she offers regulating solutions and exercises. So that, yes, you can “sing well when it matters!”. The way Gabriela delivered the course was very clear and pro. In combination with her expertise, that creates a lot of trust.
I’m happy I joined “Sing Well When It Matters”!

Helen Botmann

Pop Singer, Netherlands

This course offers a new point of view over feelings, emotions and body responses while singing. Gabriela gently explains the science behind emotions and offers tools to cope with anxiety and difficult thoughts.
Thank you!

Helga Petris

Pop Singer, Italy

This course is practical and theoretical… at the end you understand better what to do in bad voice days… I understood how striving for perfectionism produces anxiety and complicates everything. Revealing was to feel and understand how anxiety affects singing and how you can regulate your nervous system and enhance performance. Gabriela gave practical, science based knowledge to help singers to help themselves…
Complex correlations were explained in an easy, interesting and very informative way. Examining the area and acknowledging the shared challenges in a supportive group was beneficial for me.
Building a toolbox to befriend anxiety and develop skills, amazing.
