For years now I've been giving workshops to groups of all sizes and ages. They are singers, actors, teachers, radio personalities, anyone who wants to use their voice more effectively.These workshops give you the opportunity to listen deeply to your own vocal sound.
That means hearing it inside your own body as well as hearing it in other environments and contexts. Hearing is the primary step in vocal empowerment.

Workshops consist of a combination of: •acoustics of vocal production • vocal technique • structured improvisation • listening and awareness exercises • choral singing and group composition.

I have an extensive background in vocal technique. The choral singing is definitely a highpoint, and a great means of applying your newfound empowerment skills.

Workshops are optimally 4 hrs long. This is often spread over two consecutive days, but other scenarios are always possible.

I've used this workshop in conjunction with other healing practises, with self-defense groups, dance and theatre companies.
Prices are on a sliding scale.
