MMSM (Minimal Movements Specialization Method) Technique

MMSM (Minimal Movements Specialization Method)

technique:

Introduced by Dr. Weiss, was designed as a voice coaching

technique for singers and actors, This relatively new fascinating

technique may become a powerful weapon against stuttering as well

since it features not one good voice but a thousand of good voices...the

patient is learning how to control his vocal output using minimal

movements of his speech muscles, making it possible to change the

voice output in thousand different ways, so you could have a different

speech pattern every day...!

Recommended for: Professional voice users, actors, singers,

choir singers and opera singers, Professors, lawyers, teachers,

secretaries, telemarketing people, salesmen, cheerleaders, rabbis,

cantors, preachers, bartenders, waiters, and anyone with a hoarse,

harsh voice that is using voice to make a living.

Some limitations do apply: Since this is a highly sophisticated

technique, not easy to grasp and demands between 30-45 minutes a

day exercising - the patient should be at least 15 years old, should have

undergo a successful previous full-length voice therapy technique or

undergo a full-length voice coaching/singing/diction class...In some

rare cases, a full length Yoga class would be sufficient (if a full scale of

breathing exercises have been implemented).

As an introduction let me explain the idea using a non-vocal

muscle: Gravity exercise: Sit on the edge of the chair...from the

upright position curve your back to the right 10cm...then go back to

the start upright position... curve your back to the right 5cm...then go

back to the start upright position... curve your back to the right 2cm...

then go back to the start upright position... curve your back to the

right 1cm...then go back to the start upright position curve your back

to the right 0.5cm...then go back to the start upright position... curve

your back to the right 0.1cm...then go back to the start upright

position (the last one -you almost moved only in your mind...is a

specialized minimal movement !)...Now, do the whole process to your

left side !.....In MMSM you will learn to do this sort of highly

sophisticated voice changing designated movements with the main 5

speech muscles: Belly, chest, larynx, jaw, tongue...works like magic

for professional voice users!

Best of all , you don't have to be a voice patient , you can learn

this technique as a part of advanced singing or acting curriculum...

Also, you don't have to undergo a follow-up period to get used to

this...when you finish the technique you can actually use it

immediately on a daily basis.

I trust you have gained some insight from this educational note.
