Voice technique

YOUR VOICE IS UNIQUE

Your voice is as unique as your fingerprint! If eyes are the mirrors of the soul, your voice is the sound of your soul! There is a lot you can do to develop and strengthen your voice potential and quality. By improving vocal technique and putting it into a holistic context with body, mind and emotions you’ll boost and strengthen your voice in a way that uplifts, reaches out and touches. The secret to a sustainably powerful voice lies in acquiring correct breath control and breathing technique.

PURPOSE OF VOICE TECHNOLOGY

Voice training is much more than just ‘training’ your voice. It’s a process that develops, invigorates and sustains your inner strength, self-esteem and self-belief. It’s a combination of energy/resilience training and personality development.
An authentic voice has great flexibility and distinction – and is completely in tune with the NOW.

A great voice is immensely varied and versatile – a palette of many colours! It conveys energy, dynamism, excitement and emotion. It is both vividly and eloquently expressive! Correct voice training and vocal technique is about removing the tension and restrictions that prevent full vocal expression by creating the right space and support for free natural movement and expression.

A further important aim of vocal technique training is to help a speaker/presenter cope with different speaking environments and situations such as large auditoriums/stages, small office and enclosed meeting rooms, microphone management, communication with the media e.g: television, radio, sales, information, PR presentations etc.

VOICE TECHNIQUE METHODS:
