My name is Irina.
I am a singer, public speaker,
and voice coach.
I have been studying the topic of voice for more than 15 years.
I am originally from St Petersburg, and I have two degrees: art history and music (pop-jazz vocals).
I speak fluently Russian, English and Spanish, working in the international landscape for more than 15 years.
I constantly improve my knowledge by studying modern scientific methods for working with voice, based on the physiology of sound.
All my life my voice has been my working instrument.
I started my career as an interpreter and assistant manager in a real estate company selling internationally. Later, I connected my life with tourism, where I successfully realized myself as an individual entrepreneur and guide-translator.
I realized the importance of my voice in my life:
I perfected the knowledge and experience that helped me hold the attention of the audience, gave me an understanding of how to better convey information, how to negotiate, how to build a presentation of my services, how to sell effectively, sensing the needs of clients and revealing all the benefits of my products.
However, there were also difficulties.
During a period of heavy vocal stress, my vocal apparatus could not cope and I was faced with serious vocal clamps and permanent loss of voice.
I had to figure out the reasons for a long time, look for teachers, information in order to restore my voice.
It was then, that I deeply immersed myself in the topic of modern vocal techniques, decided to become a professional singer, and go into teaching to help people express their talent through their voice and effectively solve any query related to vocals and speech.
All my experience has helped me to teach and work efficiently with the voice of my clients.
I know for sure that a strong and beautiful voice is not a talent, it is an opportunity that is given to everyone.
The uniqueness of my method lies in the fact that in my practice I combine work with speech and vocal training, since I devoted a large period of my life to each of these areas.
