Online Courses
Online Courses!
A deeper journey into Vocal Embodiment or Accent Acquisition. For four months you will be guided through in the understanding and application of voice and/or speech to enrich your professional and/or personal goals.
Each course includes pre-recorded video lessons, three private one-on-one 90 minute sessions via Zoom, handouts, homework, access to a private page to share resources, and more!
Receive personalized instruction and guidance in the private Zoom sessions. Enjoy prompts in every lesson to deepen your learning through journaling, “homework” assignments aimed to help you bring the work into your dialy life, and questions that will lead you to an increasing awareness of how there are opportunities for greater success through these simple exercises in Voice and Speech.
The approaches are esoteric in nature, meaning; they explain WHY certain exercises work from a physiological point of view. They take the mystery out of the work so that you can begin to truly master your own transformative journey. Then we apply the esoteric understanding to real life activity. The result? Your skill increases dramatically, and in a relatively short period of time.
The steps are small but the progress is large! You will have me, a Voice and Speech expert, with you every step of the way. Watch an example of one of the lessons below.
Register now and start learning today.

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.
