Publicado el por
Hoy, en nuestro ciclo "Las Actrices y su Voz" conversamos con la genial e hiper-profesional Loles León, dotada de un ingenio natural mayúsculo y una de las actrices más experimentadas y versátiles del panorama televisivo, del cine y del teatro; y no olvidéis seguir su canal de Youtube.
¿Cuál es el origen de tu vocación?
El origen de mi vocación, es desde pequeña, bailaba y cantaba desde que tengo uso de razón.

¿Crees que es importante trabajar la voz?
Es importantísimo trabajar la voz porque es nuestra herramienta principal para trabajar y comunicarnos.

¿Qué haces para cuidar tu voz?
Procuro no hace excesos con la voz, hago ejercicios de respiración y movimientos musculares con la garganta y los pómulos.

¿Cómo has notado que evolucionaba tu voz conforme a tu experiencia?

La experiencia y el trabajo es la mejor medicina para la evolución de la voz.

¿Realizas algún ejercicio o "ritual" antes de actuar?
Antes de actuar coloco la voz en los pómulos porque son los altavoces de la voz. Y hago muchos ruidos con la lengua.

¿Qué hace a un buen intérprete?
Un buen interprete es el que siempre está experimentando para evolucionar en su trabajo y adquirir nuevas técnicas.

¿Qué consejo darías a quien comienza en el mundo escénico?
Consejo ninguno, cada uno sabe lo que debe hacer, pero les diría que se dejen guiar por lo que le cuenta su corazón. Y dejarse llevar por las pasiones.

1. What is the first music experience you remember?

The first music experience I remember is my piano classes, when I was 6 years old. My teacher was always concerned about making me read the scores, so she gave me every type of exercises: from just read the name of the notes to complexes sight-singing or sight-playing execises. But in the end I never read the scores, because I could memorize the pieces and search for the correspondent keys on the piano by memory, without looking at the score. Of course in the end she always got very mad with me and started everything all over again, till make me play reading!

2. When have you decided you wanted to be a singer?

I decide every day to be a singer. Being a singer is making this decision all the time on our head, because it is a matter of experience (musical and technical) and time. Every new peace is a whole new decision. We are never prepared, although we are.

3. What musical personality have your career influenced?

My teachers influenced my career. When I say "my teachers" I'm not talking only about those who taught me playing instruments, singing and musical theory, but also the professors of theater and dancing. All of those encouraged me. Specialy my parents, that always supported me in my choices.

4. What are your favorite styles or/and musicians?

I'm very eclectic. I like R&B, jazz, funk, soul, rock music, specially from seventies, like Queen, Led Zeppeling. I like eletronic music, brasilian music, music for meditation. I like early, classic, romantic, modern and contemporary music.

5. What repertoire do you feel now more comfortable?

I'm in a period of changes so this question is very difficult! All I know is that our voice changes with time and we must pay attention in what is tiring our vocal folds and our muscles. Sometimes it is changing cause we don't want to abbandon what we have constructed in the past, but we must be honest with ourselves.

6. What are your next musical projects?

Like I said, I'm in a period of changes and I don't feel prepared to do projects. When I feel ready again I'll be very happy to tell you about my new projects! :-)

7. What advice would you give to those beginners in the  singing path?

Don't think about concorrence, don't think about the others, don't try to compare yourself, don't criticize colleagues. Music is like yoga, and you must look at yourself and understand yourself, your body, your thoughts.
Singing to a public is not about self propaganda, it is a way to take people out of this reality and show them other realities they don't know yet. Singing is a away to develop souls, not only your soul, but the souls of those that are listen to you. So when you sing with love, the audience will feel love. Our world needs love and that's our job.
