Benno Max Readers-Lasario

Benno Max Leser-Lasario (before 1890 - after 1920) was a Viennese singer and breathing teacher .

Life

Readers Lasario was originally a doctor and lived from the late 19th century until the 1920s. He wrote the textbook on the original vowel gesture breathing (Lebensweiser Verlag, 1931). With his breathing method, the practitioner modulates his exhalation into tones and thus creates resonances in certain areas of the body and deepens his exhalation. Reader-Lasario attached particular importance to the pre-shaping of the sound by the body, especially the lips, before the sound is actually produced ( vowel gestures ).

Reader Lasarios method was taken up and further developed by Ilse Middendorf in her experience of breath . Some authors suggest a similarity to the eurythmy of the anthroposophists .

Annemarie Leser-Lasario tries to spread his method after the death of Benno Max Leser-Lasario.
