Systematic Approach To Kinesthetic Singing Tools
Thursday 3rd March 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This workshop will focus on the use of kinesthetic singing tools during studio application.
Kinesthetic singing tools provide a more expeditious approach to a new sensory experience than ongoing explanations by the teacher.
Decades of voice research have provided an organizational template from which to study voice mechanics through five-voice systems: respiration, phonation, registration, articulation, and resonance.
This workshop will use videos from voice lessons to demonstrate what vocal challenge was observed that led to the selection of a specific kinesthetic tool filtered through a systematic approach.
This provides clarity for studio application to guide singers toward vocal efficiency.

Emotion and Performing Accents and Dialects: why does Emotion Get in the Way?
Louisa Morgan
At points of heightened emotion, it is common for actors working in an accent to default to their natural speech. How do we help performers to avoid this issue and provide them and their directors with the confidence they need regardless of the emotional demands of the piece? What can we learn from research in vocal expression of emotion to help actors to embody the emotion and keep control of their voice and accent? Our very own Louisa Morgan will guide participants through the latest research and offer practical suggestions for working with performers needing to navigate this challenge.
