Since the Pandemic, a lot of people have started taking a more Health centered focus on life. This involves taking care of our bodies and mind by doing more yoga, working out at home, eating more healthily, mindfulness etc..
Voice comes from the body and as a Voice Coach I am trained to work with you to develop what is good for your body so that it translates into your sound, whichever language you speak.
My practice involves exercises to practice all aspects of voice: body alignment, grounding, centring, breath, resonance, placing the voice forwards, tone, range and music, articulation, speech, pauses, pace..
As well as being a professional Voice Coach with an MA in Training Actors in Voice from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, in my practice I offer you:
- Voice exercises: Linklater, Estill and Patsy Rodenburgh text
- Body exercises: Feldenkrais, Yoga, Qi Gong, Mindfulness and Taichi
- Singing exercises: singing, choir leading and Musical Theatre
- Performance and Public speaking exercises: circles of energy, rhetoric, tone of voice..
Working as the Head of Voice for the Actors at Regent’s University in London and as a Voice tutor at Identity School of Acting, I have lead young actors through their three year training. I have created and run courses in pure voice techniques, musical theatre singing and acting, speaking Shakespeare. Lastly, I have supported performances and showings such as Phaedra’s Love, The Cherry Orchard, Yerma, Lord of the Flies..
As much of the past year has been online I have adapted my coaching, drama and choir content to online platforms and I am capable of supporting any student online.
My feedback from the experiences above has continuously been positive and I can provide you with references from students past and present. Facilitating the development of expression of individuals through a holistic process occurs as a recurring pattern in my life. I hope that this comes across in my written words and that I may interest you in meeting to see how we may work together.
