A physical copy of the Level I Somatic Voicework™ course book will automatically be added to your registration for $25.00. The coursebook is required for all new participants and those who have a previous version of the book (printed prior to 2018).

In order to guarantee receipt of the book prior to the start of the course, we recommend U.S. participants register by December 20, 2022 and International participants register as soon as possible. We will begin sending books to International attendees in mid-November.

An electronic, non-downloadable, version of the coursebook will also be available to all participants on Google Classroom during the course.

Somatic Voicework™ is a body-based method of vocal pedagogy that incorporates physical awareness, aural acuity, kinesthetic development and vocal freedom. It is supported by voice science, vocal hygiene and medical information. It promotes technical security, stylistic accuracy and personal satisfaction. It honors the wholeness of healthy vocal use and the individuality of every vocal artist. It was developed to address contemporary commercial music but encompasses all styles. Past participants have come from all vocal disciplines and nearly every state as well as 13 foreign countries. Participants have remarked that the work is different, new, unique, powerful, honest and open-hearted.

Announcing November-December Webinar Series “THIS IS YOUR BODY ON SINGING”

By Leave a Comment

THIS IS YOUR BODY ON SINGING – A Somatic Voicework™ Webinar Series

Dates: Mondays, November 21, 28, December 5, 12
Times: 6:00-8:00 PM EST
Cost: $150/$200 USD ($150 USD for Somatic Voicework™ graduates of at least Level I; $200 USD for those who have not completed any of their Somatic Voicework™ levels. $50 USD COVID-19 discount already applied to both totals)

Week I: Breathing (November 21)
There’s a strong emphasis in singing training on “breathing.” Every singing teacher has their own approach. Why are there so many? Which one works? What’s best? Come see!

Week II – Brain/Body, Voice/Body, Musicality/Artistry (November 28)
Your artistry is created by the fluid use of both your body and your mind. Your brain must know and understand how to generate the sounds you want to make. Each aspect is equally important. Join us.

Week III – The Voice Inside-Out/Outside-In (December 5) with Surprise Special Guest!
Should we think about the sound as it goes out into the world around us or should we think about how we create it in our throats? Either way works. Is one approach better? Let’s take a look.

Week IV – What Is Embodied Singing? (December 12)
When we feel safe and secure in our bodies, we are comfortable. Controlling the body allows us to sing freely. That connection comes from sensory awareness, cultivated as part of singing training. It’s vital.

Please note: due to the nature of this course, refunds cannot be given under any circumstances.
