Voice Lessons

  • Private Lessons are tailored to each client. They focus on personal expressive goals and speaking as a transformational modality. They may include techniques for various elements of communicative development including alignment, breath management, phonation, resonance, body language, presentation skills and performance anxiety. In support of vocal practice as a means of personal transformation and expression, lessons can also include information about the Communications Network, Tonal Cosmology and complementary practices.

    Lessons are offered online, by phone and in-person in London, Ontario and online. For online lessons a solid, high speed internet connection is needed. Phone lessons require more independence as there is no visual support.

The speaker who puts everyone to sleep and the proverbial “life of the party” illustrate how every sound the voice makes either depletes or energizes self and others. More Than Speaking identifies vocal habits that limit expression and drain energy. It introduces practices that transform everyday speaking into engaging, generative communication. Work with the breath and vocal function energizes the body, clears the mind, balances the emotions and accesses creative inspiration. Facilitated conversations support integration of these techniques into spontaneous interactions that are the foundation of all relationships.

More Than Speaking is a holistic approach that includes breathing, phonation, resonance, dynamics, and nonverbal communication such as posture, eye contact and gestures. It develops awareness of how vocal frequencies energize the body, influence emotional balance, and activate memories, beliefs and imagination. Speakers learn how to use the voice to transform physical, emotional and mental states so that what they are expressing aligns with their true intentions and values. Because the practice refines deep and embodied listening, they also learn to hear subtle frequencies in others’ voices. This supports clearer understanding, deeper compassion and wiser questioning.
