Private Coaching – the Inside Gen

So, what actually happens when you undertake private voice coaching with Being in Voice?  Well, first of all, you get my undivided attention, addressed to helping you to achieve your goals.  I provide you with a personalised program of exercises, beginning at the foundational, basic level, ensuring that you understand – first and foremost – what your voice ACTUALLY is, and how it works, so that you may undertake the exercises with full awareness of what you are doing, and how it relates to your achieving your goals.

As you become comfortable with the exercises, we extend them into more and more challenging areas, so you know that you are progressing, that your voice is becoming more powerful, more open and more available for the creative expression you are looking for.

Once we’ve got you established with a healthy, sustainable program for your voice, we begin to integrate the specific skills training you are looking for, whether it is for performance in theatre, film, tv, radio, or radio broadcasting, public speaking, voice overs, seminar presentation, or just to be more comfortable as a human being capable of communicating and expressing your thoughts to others.

You learn each new set of exercises on the floor, doing them with me, experiencing the physical reality of what your whole body is doing, and how your voice is sounding in those circumstances.  After your class, I write up my notes on what we did in the class, and email them to you, along with handouts setting out the exercises.  I also place these in your very own Dropbox folder, along with some mp3 files in which I talk you through some of the exercises.  These are available to you for 6 months after the class.  (At some stage in the next few months, these will also be available as an iPhone app).

The Ending is just the Beginning

My thanks to The Living End for the headline above. I adore their latest cd, it keeps me bopping in the car (when I’m not listening to podcasts from the BBC World Service).

So, The Voice Class 2012 Term 1 has concluded.  This was quite a stunningly eclectic class, with students from very different walks of life, and different directions for their vocal needs.  Live theatre, voice overs, seminar presentation and choral singing – our common ground the unique and wonderful voice of each individual.

Preparation are now in hand for Term 2, which begins on April 16th.  As I explained to the students last night, we will return to basic principles, the foundational work for developing and caring for our voices.  Every time I do this, I learn something new about my voice, and my practice as a creative artist. Fab!

We will also take the time to explore our voices in the body of language. Phonemes, vowels, consonants, how they construct themselves into words, how we shape our unique voices into those words, and how to stay true to ourselves as our voices transform our thoughts into those sounds with clarity and free expression.

I can’t wait.  More details on the website, or just fill in the form here to express your interest, and get more information.
