Resonant Vocal Power
Using two techniques of Fitzmaurice Voicework, Destructuring and Restructuring, we will go into an in-depth study of technique for healthy vocal support and exercises to open your body and release unnecessary tension. Classes offer physical awareness, how to balance vocal effort & ease, and release muscles that inhibit vocal power and breath. The result: freedom and power in your voice and a new way to live in your body.
Mastering Accents – Part One
Having difficulty being understood? Want to learn how to teach yourself accents?
Detailed introduction to sharpen skills in articulation and gain necessary tools for accent study. Based firmly in Knight-Thompson speech work, the course trains your ear, deepen your awareness, and gain a working knowledge of your articulators. That last part is the most essential to have for ability to master accent work – a working knowledge of your articulators and how to use them.
Vocal Power, Freedom, and Ease: Support and the Core Muscles
Do you lose your voice? Get vocally tired? Desire more vocal power? Want to reach your audience better?
This workshop is an in-depth study of the technique for healthy vocal support. We’ll also use somatics to connect to intrinsic core muscles that give the body the support it needs for freedom and ease in movement. This allows the voice to be resonant, full, effortless, and efficient regardless of the physical activity.
The course offers deep physical awareness, how to balance effort & ease, build muscles for alignment, release external muscles that inhibit vocal power and breath, and more! The result: freedom and power in your voice and a new way to live in your body.
Cellular Listening – Bringing Communication Alive with Presence
Do you feel like communication is stilted?
Have an intuition that part of the problem is that you don’t fully listen?
Or maybe you get overwhelmed in conversation – taking too much in?
We’ll dive into the wisdom of the cells and the auditory system to find answers of how to enhance communication. Let the cells guide you as you choose what information to take in and what to say no to. Listen with the whole body. Create clear boundaries. This workshop is a somatic offering that brings connection to self, the world around you, and your community.
