Last year my vocal adventure with Nicolás Hormazábal began. I made an appointment with him for a lesson because I had a huge and difficult challenge ahead of me. In a month I had to learn to sing a Nirvana song with a distorted voice. I had never done this before and after my first lesson with Nicolás I sang distortion. After a month of practicing and working with him I made huge progress and managed to get to the next stage of The Voice of Poland program with this song. Nicolás took great care of my voice and guided it in a healthy and safe way.
I participated in lessons taught by many different teachers - lessons ended with varying results, sometimes even a sore throat. After a lesson with Nicolás my voice was in greatshape. I felt taken care of and comfortable even though it was an extreme singing technique.
I think he is a very good didactic with geat knowledge, passion, and talent for teaching. In addition he is a great singer who certainly motivates his students to continue working on their voice. We have stayed in touch so far and I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a wonderful singing teacher
