What are the most effective ways to build rapport with a client who has vocal agility challenges?

Die Arbeit an und mit der Stimme ist eine sehr pers?nliche Arbeit, daher ist es wichtig, eine vertrauensvolle Beziehung aufzubauen. Es gilt, die Bedürfnisse der Kund*innen durch aktives Zuh?ren herauszuarbeiten, d.h. einerseits spezifische Fragen zu stellen und andererseits vor allem, genau zuzuh?ren, genau verstehen zu wollen, Interesse und Verst?ndnis zu zeigen. Wenn die Wünsche des Kunden oder der Kundin genau erfasst sind, starte mit einfachen übungen, die sofort Erfolgserlebnisse generieren - atmen, summen, den K?rper lockern. Das so gewonnene Vertrauen auf und Verbinden mit der eigenen Stimme und die Gewissheit, dass das Training genau darauf aufbaut, vermitteln Sicherheit und weckt die Freude, an der stimmlichen Agilit?t zu arbeiten.

To build rapport with a client facing vocal agility challenges, prioritize active listening and patience, allowing them the time to express themselves comfortably. Utilize alternative communication methods, such as written or visual aids, and create an inclusive environment that accommodates their specific preferences. Demonstrating adaptability and genuine understanding fosters trust and rapport, facilitating effective communication.

Here I stick to the trust formula of Maister, Green & Galford from their book "The trusted advisor". 1. Credibility: You are an expert and you succeed in communicating the content in a customer-oriented way 2. Reliability: deliver what you promise reliably and on time 3. Intimacy: listen, ask questions, be empathetic and understanding. 4. Self-orientation: this is about your customers - not about your sense of prestige and your business - don't give anyone the feeling that you are only sharing your knowledge to increase your profit.

Some individuals today prefer a different way to communicate initially. Maybe it's by text alone as they feel most in charge in that medium. Meet them where they are, and do your best to create a safe and intriguing dialogue so they will feel able to take the next step forward in the communication until finally your are able to comfortably meet face to face.

Vocal agility doesn't make or break a singer. Some of my personal favorite singers are masters of riffs, runs, melissmas, embellishments, and the like... However, it's important to help students feel comfortable being a work in progress around you. I know a TON of my students walk into my studio hoping I'll listen to them, throw a shoe at them, standing ovation, sit down and show them an empty page. "No notes." And it's disheartening sometimes as we move from Unconscious incorectness into conscious incorrectness. However, that's why they're there! :] Help them feel comfortable, no shame, and start working towards solutions. Practice practice practice!

Valider les sentiments est bien entendu normal. Enregistrer la voix du client est d'autant plus important qu'elle permet de "désensibiliser" le rapport à la voix qui est souvent très négatif et la traiter comme un objet acoustique sur lequel on peut avoir une certaine ma?trise. C'est de mon point de vue une approche adéquate pour développer des habitudes vocales "saines".

En realidad, entender y validar los sentimientos de tu cliente ( en esta circunstancia o en otra) es fundamental. La trilogía "sentir, sentido, encontrado" siempre es efectiva para establecer una verdadera conexión con el cliente.

Difficulties with vocal technique can be extremely challenging for any singer and so it is extremely important to listen to their concerns and really hear them. Respect their feelings and perspectives and reassure them that you are there to help. There should be absolutely no judgement in your response. Phrases such as 'I understand what you're saying' or 'tell me more about that/those feelings' can help them to feel understood, heard and safe in the environment, which will in turn enable greater learning to take place.

I appreciate the question and the other helpful answers. One thing I've found helpful is to ask questions of each individual to see if there is a habit or a past injury contributing to their lack of range or struggle through certain notes.

Try to remember that most of us have been in that situation, it may well have not been vocal but in something else where we felt particularly challenged. Once you demonstrate this, it is easier for the client to trust you with their vulnerabilities.

Creating the right environment is essential and is done best where other students are seen with warts and all. Sometimes it is even helpful when I save my warm-up for class and that way, they can hear for themselves exactly how each of the exercises work to relieve my voice of the 'groggles'.

Challenges provide a sure point of reference to work on. So work on the parts that require work and don't give up until the client can see the change… if they don't see the change the challenge will be ongoing and not be conquered. Then keep on working on it and developing it until it's perfect.

Hacer seguimiento es fundamental como parte del proceso relacional con el cliente, en cualquier ámbito; el seguimiento es realmente lo que marca la diferencia.

Le suivi est fondamental. Encore une fois, une approche mécanique et acoustique de la voix permet de mesurer la progression d'une session à l'autre. Le spectre harmonique d'une voix saine et agile est différent de celui d'une voix qui manque de souplesse. La visualisation séance après séance de cette photo acoustique à différents moments T espacés dans le temps permettent d'évaluer et de mesurer justement cette progression. Elle valide ce que ressent le client de l'intérieur.

Whenever someone joins our community choir for the first time, we politely ask that they share a song of their choosing with us. That way, they get to see how each class member has their best interest at heart and only wishes to build them up by critiquing their performance. It is important that it is all done in a positive way and that focus is given to the strengths of that performance as well as the acknowledgement of any nervous reactions which is expected.
