Howard, whereas Diane is right to say by all means go to the workshop; if you get a good deal out of it then that's fine. Alexander Technique will do you absolutely no harm. Whether it will improve your voice is a different argument. In my own experience (having had Alexander Technique myself) I have found that, although you end up with a feeling of wellbeing, it actually causes some singers not to sing as well as they can owing to the tension needed for the vocal intrument to work at it's best being somewhat 'ironed out' Just my own experience as I said. Give it a go and I hope you enjoy it. As a traineed masseur I am bound to say that that would probably be as good for you!
Best wishes,
Ian Belsey. Voice technician Bromley, Kent, England
