Ochakovski

Ochakovski, Manuela

Singing is not only art but also top sport.

Every part of the body is connected with each other. Working on the freedom of sound emission means connecting all the body parts and finding the right balance between them. This includes also spirit, soul and emotions. When this freedom and balance is achieved, singers are free to vibrate their breath and communicate the music, text and emotions.
