An Introduction to the Buteyko Breathing Method
Thursday 25th January 2024, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM (London Time)
Kate is delighted to host this VSC short course on Buteyko Breathing.
Throughout this 2 hour session we will explore the background of the Buteyko Breathing Method and discuss the potential impact of Buteyko on vocal health and performance.
We will explore a few useful practical exercises for singers and their teachers and discuss their benefit in the singing classroom.
Buteyko provides a great way to find relief for respiratory difficulties, anxiety and poor sleep.
The power of conscious breathing has huge implications for singers, actors, public speakers and beyond.

Louisa Morgan
How connected are acted emotions to our real-life emotions? Are they expressed differently? Do they feel different in the body? This 2-part course with Louisa Morgan looks at the potential impact of acted emotion on vocal health, why we should consider it as voice practitioners, and how to care for our performers needing to work with it.

Learn to Coach RP and SSBE – a Certificate in Accent Coaching
Louisa Morgan
This six-week course is an opportunity to learn about both Received Pronunciation and Standard Southern British English. Rather than a course in learning how to speak RP/SSBE (there are many brilliant available courses for this already), this course is about learning how to coach it.
