Suitable for Beginners and those looking to refresh or continue their training or explore the work in relation to their own creative projects.",
This is a space to build an authentic relationship with your own voice. Whether you are a seasoned singer or someone who has long believed you "can’t sing" or have lost your voice along the way, you will be guided and supported as you explore your voice as a living, expressive part of you - not separate from your body, imagination, or story. We work through song, sound, movement, and ensemble practice. The voice emerges not just as an instrument for music but as a carrier of feeling, memory, and meaning.
We begin by exploring how voice and body are intimately connected. The body holds biography - experiences, protections, and longings - and the voice often reveals what has been silenced, buried, or waiting to emerge. In this workshop, we listen for those hidden threads.
You’ll be introduced to a system of vocal resonators - spaces in the body where sound vibrates. Each resonator connects to emotional qualities or "vocal archetypes" such as grief, joy, the King, or the Mother. These are not fixed categories but creative tools that offer access to deeper layers of expression. They help bring body, voice, and emotional truth into alignment.
We work with technical vocal practices drawn from cranio-sacral and movement-based systems (including the work of Mike Antonides), alongside breath and muscle training. You will learn how these systems can support or inhibit vocal freedom, and how to develop greater ease, range, and vocal clarity. We also explore placement and internal space - how the voice travels, where it gets stuck, and how to unlock more flow.
This is where technique and personal process meet. We weave the “why” of singing - your story, your longing - with the “how”- the physical, musical, and imaginative tools that support expression. We work with polyphonic songs in ensemble, creating a rigorous and held space for you to build your own grounded, embodied vocal practice.
