The Voice is Me. Simple Steps to Confident Vocal Performance. Your Voice. Your Stage. Your Story

This book is a self-study guide on vocals, stagecraft, and the inner confidence of the performer. Yulia Polyanskaya combines in one book work with the voice, body, emotions, and stage image so that the performance is perceived as a cohesive artistic statement. The publication is aimed at those who sing, go out to the audience, and want to better understand how to cope with excitement, build an image, and feel composed and natural on stage. At its core is a practical approach designed for independent work and gradual skill acquisition.

Before the reader is not a collection of vocal exercises, but a guide to vocal performance in a broad sense. The focus is on five important components of stage work: psychology, emotions, image, movement, and self-presentation. Yulia Polyanskaya examines not only the technique of performance but also how the artist holds themselves on stage, conveys the song, and establishes contact with the audience.

A special place is occupied by the author's method of «singing through sensations». It is related to working with the inner state and emotions as part of the performing art. The book also includes sections on stage movement, image selection, and preparation for performances and competitions.
