The Compelling Speaker: Variety and Clarity
(This is a Level Two course.)
January 8th – February 19th, 2020
Wednesdays – 6 – 7:30 pm
This class is a deeper dive into Vocal Empowerment. You’ve taken the first level classes, Grounded Presence and Resonant Vocal Power. You were wanting more when they came to an end! Well, this class gives you more.
We will jump right into more work with Destructuring – learning more of the positions, opening the breath response, and letting sound become spontaneous and free. We’ll study movement/anatomy as it pertains to vocal technique. We’ll practice presence in performance. We’ll get curious about physical holds. We’ll learn techniques to open up those areas of the body so that you can have that energy back for your performance. We will study text and how to vocally build thoughts; pointing the listener in the right direction of what to pay attention to. Have a favorite text you’ve secretly yearned to bring alive? Bring it. We will breathe your soul into those words and you will get to experience the creation of them being spoken, in action.
The truth is, voice is an active thing. It is highly creative and every moment is brand new. It is a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual act – to share your truth. If you’ve been on a journey of studying voice then you know the personal development it brings. We are always talking about the voice and we are always talking about something greater. What is it like to be an active participant in the creation of word, intention, thought, into SOUND? What is it like to be 100% in?
Come find out. You absolutely CAN do this. I can’t wait to see you shine.
Prerequisite for class – Resonant Vocal Power and Grounded Presence or have worked with Melissa privately for 2 months.
