Come play, free up your voice and explore your creativity in this fun and playful vocal improv class. We’ll cover:

- Melodic improv

- Rhythmic improv

- Emotive expressiveness

- Improv with and without words

The voice is really a very vulnerable thing, it’s like a window to the soul. And so times when we speak and sing can be times where the critic can really raise its most ugly head.

This workshop focuses on gently exploring the inner critic, using inquiry techniques and pair work, as well as vocal techniques that have been shown in neuroscience research to deactivate the parts of our brain associated with our inner critics and filters.

In this workshop you reflect on your alter ego and then use your voice to get a real embodied experience of what it feels like to really be that aspect.

It’s based on the idea that humans have the potential to be every possible expression of emotion/personality/etc., but that we develop our personalities based on our different strategies of being in the world. And that to explore ourselves more deeply, and to have a fun adventure, we can use the voice to look beneath the layers and see what’s there.

Traditional vocal training on vocal power focuses on the diaphragm, the breath, the technique, etc. And we will look at this in the workshop. But I believe that to really find your true power voice, you need to find and fully embody your power and the workshop is much more based around this, weaving in the technical aspects as we go.

Oh BOOM, oh yeah.
