Speak with Ease
Part 1
Specifically for actors, public speakers, business leaders, salespersons, or anyone wishing a more confident voice with a healthy, resonant sound; this workshop will give you skills for noticable improvement to allow you to be more effective in your vocal communications.
Finding Your Voice:
a Centered Approach
for "Non-singers."
In a safe and supportive environment, we will create the space for you to explore simple ways to free your voice, to speak or sing with ease, more confidence, and enjoyment. Singing is a human activity, something everyone has a right to do, just like walking. Reclaim the ability to speak and sing from your heart!
The Spiritual, Emotional, & Energetic Qualities of the Voice: Expanding Your Capabilities
The amazing voice serves us as our: means of expression, innate musical instrument, sound wave generator, chakra energy center, grief "moaner", and laugh box! It magnificently allows us to communicate, and it is a window to the heart and soul, enabling us to express love and spirituality. In this workshop we will ground ourselves in the science of the voice, expand our vocal capacity with the metaphysics of the voice, share, explore and play with sound!
Singing with a Band
Learn equipment, performance, and singing techniques so you are more comfortable on stage as a solo performer or with a band. Additionally, you will experience simple ways to sing with more ease and power. If you are a professional singer, or beginner, explore how to sing with a more resonant voice in your own style.
