Lip Sync for the Win: Turn your voice off to turn your senses ON!
Tuesday 7th November 2023, 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM (London Time)
This interactive and experiential workshop has transformative powers for a singer and pedagogue. We will use the body’s feedback to discover a fuller vocal capacity from the inside out, increasing interoception while embodying connections between the intention to voice and elements of vocal technique and performance. This workshop seamlessly integrates aspects of audiation, motor imagery and expression with intention and attention and will expand your own singing and your teaching toolbox.
How will we do all of this? By turning the voice OFF!
When you are singing out loud, your resources for awareness become more limited, but when you eliminate phonation from your practice, you can tap into new sensations that uncover how you’re doing what you’re doing and draw from the internal intelligence already within your body, simplifying the learning process. This workshop is wholistic, creative, and bottom-up in its approach to learning and teaching voice. Most importantly, it is a student-centred one that will facilitate a process of discovery for any student from beginner to professional.
Come prepared with something to sing (on mute)!

It’s not a virus! Reconceptualizing and De-pathologizing Music Performance Anxiety
Rebecca Herman
Performance Anxiety is one of the most widespread and debilitating challenges facing musicians across all ages, nationalities and musical genres. Despite decades of research and the development of numerous interventions, we do not yet have an established way of supporting performers experiencing performance anxiety. Aimed at performers, teachers, researchers and students, this presentation will first summarise the current state of play in performance anxiety research, before exploring alternative ways to think about performance anxiety, drawing on new research outside of performance psychology...

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.
