My definiton of natural "gift"

I would personally define the gifts as those skills that make us unique, that

differentiate us from the rest, that make us different within the unit to which we all belong. Therefore the gift is not an exclusive "grace" that some people have and others do not, that some people are included and others excluded. The ability to develop the expression of music through the voice is a gift we all have. If it does not develop it is due to the walls and barriers that we put ourselves through. If you enjoy the fact of singing, it is that nature wants to express itself through you through sounds, through the union of music and the word. And this expression is unique in you from the point of view of your particular characteristics. All who are called to sing have the gift of song, the ability to sing.

That all of us who sing have this gift does not mean that it occurs in the same way. It is, for example, through the timbre, the color of the nuances that make a voice unique and different, which shows that the gift is produced differently. Therefore we have the gift of all those who are called to express by singing. The way to do it is what distinguishes us from each other. In the diversity lies the richness of nature, the complex beauty that characterizes nature is the tremendous diversity that occurs within it. Therefore we do not have to worry about being different. On the contrary, we have to be proud of that difference because it is nature itself that has wanted it to be so, and as channels of the beauty of nature that we are, the earlier we accept this fact, the more natural we will find our song and, therefore, easier and beautiful.

Hence the importance of not wanting to imitate the voice of another, not wanting to have the particularities of another because, in its very definition, the particularities are precisely what makes it "particular", unique. To want to imitate another or others is to go against oneself and that means going against your own nature, going against Nature. The same thing happens when wanting to have a voice that conforms to the standards of what is "supposed" to sound according to a type of voice.

The false need to obtain results

I do not believe in the obsession of obtaining results as a goal to accomplish things. Having separated us from nature, from the "mother" that has created us, we have been surprised by such ignorance of the things that it has led us to create the prevailing need to consciously control what we are doing. Otherwise we feel unacceptably lost, we do not know what to do. This is how we have disconnected, we have separated ourselves. This need for control has led to the two great mental premises that every separated person seeks, the "how to do for" and the "if I do this then I get the other". The need of control is an effect of the main cause of feeling unprotected and lacking in "something" that gives us security. Stop thinking, let things flow from the present moment are activities that we must accustom ourselves to exercise to begin to feel that we are not unprotected, that the solution arises by itself without having to do anything, that Natur...

Your new journey

At the moment I am writing these lines a fine rain falls on the other side of the window. I make a break in my present moment and I remember how all this time has passed since I started in the world of professional singing and the evolution that has taken place in my life. The study of the song began and it was proceeding according to the classic teaching canons, a teacher who is guiding you and telling you what you have to "do" so that your voice is projected in a way that is considered natural. I went through several professors and in each one of them the pattern of evolution was similar, appearance of progress at the beginning and appearance of backsliding or stagnation as time passed. As the years went by, the feeling of failure at the professional level reached such an extreme that there was a day when I asked myself: "It is not possible that life be a continuous suffering, an unstoppable succession of obstacles ... It does not make sense, I do not believe it,...

Welcome

SoundByNature® by Sanni Orasmaa Thank you very much for being here and for feeling some curiosity towards the title of this website. With the beginning of this blog I want to share with you my concerns about the voice, the production of sound both spoken and sung. I would like to explain to you what my conclusions are going to be so that we can establish a dialogue where we can establish our points of view. I do not seek to have the absolute truth or to affirm categorically in a kind of Manichean theory about what happens when we use our voice. I just want to start doubting what is established as true, from the possibility of seeing the voice from another point of view of not only seeing it as the effect of a concatenation of muscular movements, but of the very expression of nature through us, without altering it or intervening in that process. How you can get to have these conclusions is what I will try to explain through this website.
