I am so happy to announce that the Being in Voice Warmup App is now officially on sale in the App Store, for iPhone and iPad, at the grand price of $0.99.

This is an excellent vocal warmup app, created by my good friend and colleague, Flloyd Kennedy. I recommend it highly. Amy Stoller – Stoller System, LLC: Dialect Coaching & Design by Amy Stoller; resident dialect designer, occasional dramaturge at Mint Theater Company, New York.

I’ve received excellent feedback from early downloaders, and made a few changes as a result. You can now click straight through to the Warmups from the Home Page. There will be more short Warmups added as time goes by. Once you have purchased and downloaded the App, upgrades will automatically be yours for free.

I love this app! Courtney Young, Voice and Text Coach at Houston Shakespeare Festival

Do let me know how you find it. I am very keen to have this the most user-friendly, useful warmup app you can find. It’s not meant to be a replacement for on the floor training, it’s an introduction to voice work for beginners, a handy tool for experienced speakers and singers to warmup and tone up the voice on a regular basis, and a simple way to warmup prior to presenting, rehearsing or performing.

Please spread the word. Share on Facebook and Twitter. Encourage your colleagues and your students to try it out. I am confident they will find it useful and fun.

I love your app, but now I want more. thanks. I’ve been doing it myself. I suspect that’s a strong recommendation in itself. Marya Lowry, Associate Professor of Theater Arts, Brandeis University, resident actor/teacher with Actors’ Shakespeare Project.

Warming Up for Winter

Brisbane is cooling down, but I’m warming up my mission to get the world warming up its voice!

This week my students at Film & TV Studio International joined me in Ira Seidenstein’s Core Mechanics before the actual class began, so we were able to launch ourselves straight into the Humming Warmup. This is a great way to bring voice and body into alignment and focus while literally warming up when the weather is cold. Within ten minutes we had filled the studio with the most gorgeous warm sound, after which we explored some fabulous gurning faces and voices, courtesy of Dudley Knight’s “Speaking With Skill”.

I’m still dreaming of attending the Knight-Thompson two week intensive workshop in Los Angeles in August this year, working on accents and dialects. In particular, I can’t wait to learn Omnish.

In the meantime, the Warmup App is doing well, nearly 150 downloads so far! I’m going to include the Humming Warmup in the next upgrade. The current version has been edited to include a navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, and a timer to show how long each audio file will last.

You can download it here: Being in Voice – Flloyd Kennedy

And then don’t forget to send me some feedback so that I can keep improving it. A warmed up voice is capable of creating magic. Let’s all become Vocal Wizards!
