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.

Certificate in Acting Approaches for Singing Teachers

Louisa Morgan

Are you a singing teacher looking to elevate your students’ performance? This 4-part course is perfect for those who want to help their singers connect deeply with the character and the story behind the song. Many singing teachers have lots of brilliant ideas about coaching vocal performance but often don’t have a background in acting. Learning more about acting techniques can build structure into your performance-focused lessons and add depth to the song. Gain practical tools and techniques that you can apply to your teaching.
