Title: SHIGO VOICE STUDIO
Bio: DANIEL SHIGO is a voice teacher, researcher, and writer in New York City. A member of the New York City Opera and Metropolitan Opera, Daniel has spent his life studying, researching, and applying the principles of bel canto onstage and in the voice studio. He offers singers and voice teachers the teachings, tools, techniques, and wisdom of Manuel Garcia and Francesco Lamperti—two great Classical Italian Song Schools—which are integrated with a scientific understanding of vocal function, and the healing power of music in a supportive environment. Daniel's teaching has also been influenced by Alfred Tomatis; his two-decade experience with Tomatis' pioneering work in Psychoacoustics has enabled him to understand the principles of bel canto uniquely and develop innovative tools that transform the voice. Extensive historical vocal pedagogy research has led Daniel to become the founding editor of VOICEPrints—The Official Journal of the New York Singing Teachers Association and discover a lost singing manual—Hidden in Plain Sight: The Hermann Klein Phono-Vocal Method Based upon the Famous School of Manuel Garcia (2013). Daniel has also received a generous four-year grant from the Agnes Varis Trust to complete research for a book that reveals the proprietary teachings of Garcia and Lamperti.
