This class will awaken you to a full range of vocal aliveness and an embodied voice that connects you to your imagination and opens you to the needs in transformational acting. Through a series of physical and vocal exercises, you will learn about the habits that are inhibiting your voice and free you so you have access to a full range of self-expression. You will discover and release tension in the body, deepen your connection to your breath, sigh into sound, strengthen resonance while humming, free tensions in the jaw, tongue, throat, and soft palate, and discover range through the play of vowels and consonants articulated in the mouth and played out through the body. You will speak, sing, and move in community with others, and create a poem to your vocal identity to share on your final day. This work may live and grow with you, and help build confidence in public speaking.
