Effective Vocal Skills Workshop

Discover your voice’s potential, find and free your voice and begin practising exercises to get the most from it!

An introductory workshop for those who want to learn about their voice and how they can begin to use it more effectively for creative or professional development. 

This session covers the introductory work for voice work and the beginnings of exploration of building your voice skills. Perfect for those who want to find and free their voice and those wanting to grow in confidence with their voice.

The course is delivered as a highly practical and interactive online workshop and group sizes are kept small, around 8, people to ensure that everyone gets a chance to explore their voice’s potential over the course.

It is designed to equip you to learn and begin to practise skills needed to find and free your voice and/or to begin building skills to use your voice more effectively, confidently and with greater impact. 

You will be working together and in small break out groups in order to practise the exercises and delivery back to the whole group at regular intervals.

Who this course is NOT for:

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

18 years plus

Minimum participants to run event:

6. If less than minimum amount of people attending by ticket close date, the event will be cancelled or postponed and you will be offered a full refund or transfer to the postponed course. Although the group sizes are small anyway, the workshop works very differently with less people and therefore 6 - 8 works well. 

What equipment do I need for the course?

A laptop and mobile 'phone with good internet access for video calling. I suggest the phone also as some handouts can be read from it. If you have a printer handy you can also make use of this to print out any handouts between sessions. Headsets can also be useful if you have things going on in the background, or for better sound quality. Make sure you give yourself enough time to check your technology is work, so we start promptly at the given time. It is your responsibility to ensure that your set up is working and no refunds will be given in the event that technology fails. In the event that the technology fails at this end, I will of course do whatever I can to ensure that you all receive the session/ time.

What should I bring/wear/be aware of for the coaching sessions?

• Have plenty of water with you and make sure you are hydrated for sessions.

• Food: There can be a lot of movement often in these workshops, so please eat lightly. There will be hot drinks and biscuits available.

   

   

   

   

• Bring a notepad/pen

• Wear comfortable clothing: For most sessions wear clothes that you are comfortable moving in and laying down on the floor.

• Bring a yoga mat, towel, something you can use to lie on the floor in case floor work is used.

• Suits/More formal clothing: For events that involve rehearsing presentations we will have done any floor work previously and your suits will be fine. Do check with me if unsure.

• Bare or socked feet: The work is best done in bare feet or socks, so make sure you are happy without your footwear with clean feet. In case of cold, you may want to wear something to keep your feet warm (I just use slipper socks if needed and they work fine depending on the flooring and if it's slippy).

Special Note:

• Do ensure that you are fit and well to attend the event. As this is open to members of the public and they will be on the videos, there will be no recordings sent out to protect all individuals who attend. Therefore, make sure you schedule the dates in your diary and can attend. 

• If you have asthma, make sure you bring your inhaler.

• Any other health issues or movement limitations, let me know during the workshop as relevant so you can take good care of your bodies. Voice Work is for everybody and most exercises are adaptable.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?
