Course Overview
Would you like more vocal confidence?
Do you desire greater vocal power, expressiveness and clarity?
Do you suffer from vocal strain or fatigue?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then this workshop is for you! The workshop will cover:
- postural alignment for effective voice production
- vocal power for audibility
- clarity of articulation
- resonance for richness of vocal tone and carrying power of the voice.
You will learn techniques to warm up and care for your voice and to continue your vocal development beyond the workshop. Workshop activities are based on Kristin Linklater’s voice techniques that are designed to ‘free the natural voice’.
Detailed resources (including audio recordings of exercises, workshop slides and recommended readings) will be provided after the workshop for you to continue your vocal training.
For Teachers: A free teachers kit will be available on request with lesson plans and tips and tricks to take these techniques into your classes.
