Voice-Movement Skills And The Dimension Of PLAY!
Thursday 2nd February 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This workshop explores the voice-movement relationship in breath management, the vocal tract, voice qualities, pitch range, articulation and phrasing (singing and speaking), and extended voice use.
Then participants are invited to “physicalize” a spoken or sung text—playfully allowing the body to lead—before doing a bit of the text in performance mode.
Questions, requests and comments are welcome, and muting is not required!
Please dress comfortably and have floor space available for movement and exercise.

“Too Much, Too Little, Just Right!” - The Balancing Act Model
Robert Edwin
The Balancing Act Model encourages singers to explore the extremes of singing, and from those extremes, establish their most efficient (balanced) voice and performance techniques. Join the renowned singer/actor and author Robert Edwin as he covers many aspects of the singing process including breathing, phonation, resonation, articulation, and attitude. If you’re involved in music theater or opera, you’ll find the Model to be especially helpful in developing character voices for roles such as Nathan and Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. If you’re just looking to find out what your body and voice can do, The Balancing Act Model can provide many answers!
