IVA is truly the most effective programme of voice instruction. I train with Master Teacher Jeffrey Skouson. Every lesson I can hear a positive difference, eg split resonance and development of this, within 30 minutes. I think it’s ’as close to a magic button’ that you can ever get. IVA Master Teachers have trained some of the most prominent vocal coaches in the industry - nearly everyone on the chart uses this technique. You can hear the similar exercises on ‘famous’ artists’ websites. IVA and associating techniques where most teachers made the step from SLS is widely critiqued. Today I engaged in the music and drama expo with some of the core principles of IVA, pay particular attention to the wording of these teachers - mainly classically trained academics. This particular academic discounted the technique as there were a minority where the technique did not work for (and yes they lectured at UCL) and she had the ‘rehabilitate them’. The worst thing you can do is try and lesson and hear the difference for yourself. Don’t knock it till you can’t try it. However the exercises are best practice and work for everyone I know.
