Functional vocal training, authentic musical style, honest emotional communication, free personal expression of a voice that “fits” the heart and mind of the singer are hallmarks of Somatic Voicework™ training. The simplicity of the method, the directness of its premises and the accessibility of its tools have made Somatic Voicework™ the method of choice for over 1200 elite vocal professionals and teachers of singing since its inception in 2002. Serious singers who seek training grounded in science, medicine and function are drawn to the work as are those who appreciate the open-hearted attitude of the community of people who teach using Somatic Voicework™ principles. The comment heard most frequently from those who have gone through the training is, “This is really different!”
