The discipline and tactile pleasure of stretching and elasticizing one’s body, of freeing the breath, and gathering the resonance of the sound vibrations in the bony hollows of the body; of undoing specific tensions in the jaw, tongue and larynx; and waking up the sweep of one’s vocal range, and engaging the lively economy of the articulators; may seem on one level as the routine of little actions, but on a deeper level it is carving out time and space in our busy day to meet ourselves – to be present in our whole being.
Come warm up with us – to prepare for an audition or a show, to care for vocal strain, or just to keep in vocal tone. Want to spend a few minutes each week investing in yourself and strengthening your craft? This series of exercises is designed to free your voice, mind, and body to find your authentic self, and to become more expressively present in the world.

Relaxation and release is essential to opening, freeing and ultimately strengthening your voice. In this initial class, you are becoming aware of how your voice and body carry habitual tensions and beginning to undo them. This is the start to freeing your breath and vibrations of sound. As your voice begins to loosen up, the next step is to develop resonance by sensing and spreading the vibrations through the bony hollows of your body. Once this connection is established we can move onto addressing deep tensions that develop in the jaw, larynx, and tongue and encourage your sigh to find a free and focused pathway beyond those tensions that filter your message. By giving your sigh of sound a clear passageway from the lower body all the way up through the mouth, you will be ready to begin to strengthen the voice and activate more expressiveness with the resonating ladder. In Voice 1 you will contact the chest, the mouth, and the teeth resonators and blend to find a warm, relaxed and focused connection between your thoughts, feelings and your voice.

This class is meant for those who have taken voice before and would like to strengthen their full range of resonance, expand their breath capacity, and wake up their articulation in order to find a bridge to speaking their text in a clearer, and livelier way. Each class will take you through an embodied warm-up geared towards freeing and opening your voice that releases throat, tongue and jaw tensions, develops more breath capacity, and strengthens your full vocal range.
Then you’ll focus on invigorating the muscles of your mouth that contribute to economical articulation, and connect to the tactile sensation of consonants by playing with tongue twisters so you are ready to speak your text clearly and expressively.
