Despite what some people think, we all possess amazing, interesting and unique voices! However, over time we tend to acquire a range of physical and psychological habits that begin to interfere with and block our vocal potential and ability to communicate our thoughts, ideas and feelings effectively and dynamically. Through my coaching I aim to help students gain greater awareness of such habits, which can then lead to overcoming them and allowing one's true or natural voice to emerge. I incorporate a range of creative and practical exercises, as well as useful images and anatomical resources in my approach so that those I’m teaching can begin to learn about their voices in a multi-faceted way.

See below for some common areas that I can assist with (but am not limited to):

  • Vocal health and finding more vocal ease

  • Body alignment (strong Alexander Technique influence)

  • Developing breath support and capacity to power the voice

  • Developing vocal resonance and range

  • Improving articulation and clarity of speech

  • Dealing with nerves, stage fright and finding more confidence in communication and performance

  • Embodying text so that communication is authentic, nuanced and dynamic

  • Working with Shakespeare, poetry and other heightened/complex texts

  • Preparing auditions

  • Public Speaking and preparing speeches, talks and presentations

  • Preparing a range of accents and dialects (with or without use of phonetics)

  • Accent modification

  • Using voice to help create character

  • Tutoring for VCE Drama and Theatre Studies

 
 

Please note that nothing fast ever happened in voice! Voice is a physical process and so our vocal habits are not going to just change over night. If you are really committed to improving or exploring your voice, please consider a multi-session package, whereby we can really ensure you get the most out of the work possible. I recommend coming for an introductory session first to see how you feel and then we can discuss what kind of plan may work well for you should you like to continue on.
