Welcome to Vox Lilith!


Welcome to Vox Lilith, the brand new blog of La Voix Humaine

La Voix Humaine (termed as the Human Voice Workshop for sessions offered in English-speaking countries) is a workshop that offers an expansive revelation of the human personality through a unique formula of vocal exercises, guided by Daniel Prieto and the Mosqueteros.

The exceptional nature of this pyscho-spiritual work begins by recognizing the singular power of the human voice itself. The human voice is a remarkable medium through which both the subtle and apparent qualities of each unique personality can be audibly described, expressed, revealed, and ultimately realized. It is through the guided exploration of the voice therefore, that the spiritual essence that lies behind the outer personality of every person is unveiled. Through the human voice, much can also be unveiled about the outer personality -the complex and often troubled organism which clothes the inner essence- the bodily, the physical conditions, and the behavioral patterns that are inherited both in a single lifetime and from the lives and deeds of the ancestors themselves. It's all part of one unified 'package' that every incarnate human being arrives with and must experience.   

The purpose of such a powerful disclosure of the inner and outer nature is ultimately for the empowerment, liberation, and use of every person who participates with the course and dares to explore themselves through their own voice. That is ultimately the purpose of the vocal work guided by Daniel Prieto and the Mosqueteros, it is a unique formula for self discovery that opens up a new perspective on the human story as a whole and for personal growth and deeper understanding in relation to that perspective... The human voice reveals so much!


Group work with the Mosqueteros
It is for this reason that participants of the course are guided both in Group Work and in Individual Work. Group Work is fairly explanatory in itself, where groups of people are joined together to perform various vocal and physical exercises. Individual Work are sessions directed of course at the individual, yet the greater group participating in every course are still involved with Individual Work as silent observers... It is in this way that the 'new perspective' of the human story is shared and understood in a way that is remarkably captivating -it is experienced both by the individual and by the group as a whole.

Daniel Prieto and the Mosqueteros 

For many years, the person who guided this work and discovered this method of self discovery was Daniel Prieto. Daniel Prieto, originally from Lima, Peru, has a theatrical background and studied at the University of Villa RĂ©al; he has experience as a Stage Director and has also acted. The origins of his path as a teacher or instructor in what later became La Voix Humaine began in 1985 with a theatrical exploration of the human voice in relation to every key on the piano. The discovery of the emotionally moving power such a vocal exercise induced evolved into his current work, with which he has been involved over the last three decades. During the course of that time, La Voix Humaine workshops have been offered throughout Latin America, Europe, and North America.

In recent years, the sensitivity, intention, and sensibility that Daniel Prieto has developed as a teacher has been (and continues to be) transmitted to the Mosqueteros, who have in turn also become practitioners of La Voix Humaine workshops. The Mosqueteros therefore consist of the expanding field of teachers who guide this powerful vocal work and will continue to guide it in the decades to come.

Lilith's Memory is in the Piano

The significance of Lilith -a historical female figure who is the namesake of this blog- will be more fully disclosed in upcoming blog articles. Her presence and her role in our history reflects much of itself in a particular key on the piano bridge, through which her pivotal role is remembered in the structure of the human story itself, and it lies on the crux of gender dynamics so influential in the psychological constitution of modern humanity. Though every key on the piano bridge reflects some vital resonance in the human condition, the particular key wherein Lilith 'resides' is particularly climactic and influential for the understanding and progress of both men and women.
