With the creation of the Vocal Awareness® proprietary teaching method, Arthur has worked globally with countless luminaries who have all recognized the significance of Empowerment Through Voice.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Arthur’s early life was fraught with uncertainty and emotional pain. He came from humble beginnings, was treated as an outcast, and was abandoned by his father. He lived with his working mother, who for a significant portion of his early childhood and adult life, was seriously ill. Arthur refers to her as one of his two ‘heros’ (his other being his wife).
Arthur’s life lessons were formed by his early experiences with abandonment.
At the age of 4 Arthur's mother signed him up for accordion lessons. As an insecure, confused and lonely 15-year-old, he began studying voice as an extension of his musical education. His voice teacher helped him unlock his Voice – his life calling, seeing both his potential and unique gift. Arthur discovered that he heard vocal sound differently than other people. He didn’t just hear the pitch, tone, or melody of the voice he actually heard and felt the emotion within the Voice. Arthur calls it “Perfect Pitch.” When he hears a Voice, he hears who a person is at the core of their being.
His Gift
As he developed an understanding of the gift he was given, he continued to study the inherent connection between sound and vocal expression and devoted himself to the study of vocal technique. Through his relentless commitment, Arthur began to Claim His Power, his Self-esteem, and actualized his life mission, to help others claim their own Vocal Power and through Voice, embody who they are in everything they do.
His Mission
His lifelong dedication to his mission: 'To Change The World Through Voice' becomes increasingly vital as our culture becomes more dependent upon technology and social media to do the work of communication. As Arthur states, “We are on the cusp of losing the art of public discourse.” He has become a lone voice in raising the alarm that we aren’t simply losing the ability to communicate, we are losing our innate ability to connect with each other on even the most basic levels—physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
His Work
In Vocal Awareness, “The Journey is never outward toward accomplishment or fulfillment of our goals. Rather, always and only inward toward discovery of the Deeper Self.”
Arthur’s breakthrough Work is designed to Help You embody all that you are capable of Being—in full Conscious Awareness–to maximize your possibility. When we do so, goals are fulfilled. It is the inevitable outcome of Communication Mastery. His stated goal: to help all of those he worked with to achieve their own enlightenment and enjoy their own empowerment.
