Before having lessons with Leandro I loved singing, but I had a hard time with high notes and with keeping my voice stable. It also felt like singing was really tiring. I hardly ever had a sound I actually liked and that was comfortable and easy to recreate. After my first few lessons my voice already felt much more stable, and I learned several exercises that helped me a lot. After every lesson I felt a big difference in the way I handled my voice; singing was way easier and much more pleasant! I think that the time I spent working on my voice with Leandro was crucial to being able to reach my goals and to feel like it is possible to get incredible results with technique and knowledge of your instrument! A lot of the things that I apply today to both singing and speaking I learned with Leandro.

I started taking lessons with Leandro because a mutual friend recommended him. I had a bad history of former teachers who didn't really have a lot of technique and couldn't fix my vocal issues and help me to get the results I wanted. So I was kind of wary of lessons in general, and I had a lot of bad habits that I had built over the years. But after just over 2 months of lessons with Leandro, I already felt a big difference in my voice. The exercises he gave me were personalized to my specific problems, and he was available to answer all my questions, even if it wasn't my lesson day. And I felt like he always had my vocal health in mind. Today singing is so much more comfortable. I feel like my voice is healthy, and I feel much more confident when I perform because of the technical awareness that I learned in my lessons with Leandro.

When I started having lessons with Leandro Lacava, I had no clue how to sing. I had never really sung before, my voice was pretty tense, and basically I just pushed a lot. My lessons with Leandro were almost like vocal therapy; there was a solid foundation in terms of the muscles involved in singing, and I felt like I was learning to use my voice in the best possible way. He made my voice do things I never thought it could do! He used very practical exercises and a clear method to give my voice more body, help me stop forcing, and more than that, he made me believe that I actually could sing! And you don't have to be born knowing how; you really can build your voice! Today I divide my singing experience into Pre-Leandro Lacava and Post-Leandro Lacava; that's how big the change in my voice was! And not only that, he's just a great person!

Having lessons with Leandro was a turning point in my life. For years before I met him, I couldn't escape from one thought: I can't tune, and that is my biggest challenge. When I confessed that to Leandro he told me, "Pedro, you are not tone-deaf; you're just using your muscles wrong". So we started to work step by step to strengthen the muscles needed for singing. Little by little I started seeing progress, and I started to feel more confident about singing; and one thing lead to another and I began to believe for the first time that, yes, I CAN sing, I CAN go to an audition and believe that I am capable of winning the part. Leandro has no idea how grateful I am for everything he has done for me! Thank you, Le!

Leandro is superb. It is so encouraging to find that my voice can REALLY change and improve! After one lesson I am already producing /hearing amazingly better sound!
