On Saturday, January 19th (tomorrow!), from 2:00 until 4:00, I will be presenting a workshop entitled "Discover Your Authentic Voice".
Discover Your Authentic Voice Do you wish that you had a beautiful voice? Well, guess what? You do! Each of us was born with a powerful, expressive voice. In this workshop you'll rediscover the beauty of your natural voice, how to speak without straining, and how to use your voice for long periods of time without fatigue.
The workshop will use materials from three sources:
1) Awareness Through Movement lessons chosen for their effectiveness in promoting the effective use of the voice.
2) Practices drawn from and based on the work of Carl Stough ("Dr. Breath"), including counting and humming in order to extend the length of the exhalation.
3) Vocalization lessons that I have developed over the last five years while rehearsing my vocal quintet and teaching my singing students.
Although geared to non-singers, the workshop will be valuable to singers as well.
From 10:30 until 12:30 on the same day Sam Nelson will also be presenting a workshop entitled "Singing With The Whole Body".
Singing With The Whole Body In this workshop, you'll discover that singing is a whole-self activity. Drawing from my new book, Singing With The Whole Body, co-authored with Betsy Blades-Zeller, we'll introduce modularized Awareness Through Movement lessons and dispel common myths and misperceptions of voice training.
Both workshops are open to the public and are part of the New York Regional Conference of the Feldenkrais Guild taking place at the Friends Meeting House at 15 Rutherford Place (just south of 16th Street between 3rd and 2nd Avenues) in Manhattan.
The cost of attending either workshop is $25 (includes lunch from 12:45 until 1:45). You may attend both workshops for $45.
A party will follow the second workshop and will feature entertainment by the John Link Vocal Quintet. For further information call (212)463-7102.
