The Power of Voice - Susanne Amberg Schneeweis
The first thing we see when meeting a person is sound!
Speech is more visible than anything else. It not only has
powers which are far greater than looks, but, is a way-in to our
characters, too. The way that we speak is the one first
impression that counts! And, when meeting Susanne Amberg
Schneeweis in person, I was happy. For, she was just as I thought
her to be! My first impressions had been right. They had come from
the radio and they were her voice. And, the way that she spoke had
the quality of magic.
And, her life has been magic as well. Realizing her
destiny, she followed a path of singing and speaking, but, as
time went on it was teaching that took centre stage. Voice,
she says, is one of the things we all have in common, and by training
it we can alter our lives. A clear strong voice not only provides for
clarity of understanding, but, makes for happiness, too.
But, the secret of voice lies in our breathing. The
second thing which we all have in common. Breathing is life. And, it
is from there that all energy flows. And correct breathing, says
Susanne Amberg Schneeweis, is something that everyone can not only
master, but should! And, she knows what she's talking about. She
has been passing on the magic of sound for a very long time, and,
having just passed 70, has no intention of stopping. And her schedule
is not only full, but impressive as well.
Not only does Susanne Amberg Schneeweis teach at the
VHS in Vienna, she also provides tuition in her very own studio. And,
there is more. She has also written some very amazing books. One of them being, Singing Makes Happy.
But, all in all, it's her passing on of her gifts that's
impressive. And, her greatest talent of all is the showing that these
talents of breathing speaking and singing rest in us all! All we
have to do is open our eyes, enjoy the sounds we are seeing,
and learn how to breath as we should! And then, whatever you do,
your life will take off! Happiness is then guaranteed!
