Learn a series of physical and imaginative exercises that will awaken the expressive potential of your voice. Drawing on the work of world-renowned voice specialist Kristin Linklater, author of Freeing the Natural Voice, these exercises will give you a clear understanding of the elements involved in developing your voice and finding more freedom and release in the breath, body and voice in the moment of speaking. The workshop will take you through a series or ‘progression’ of step-by-

step practical exercises that include relaxation, awareness of breathing, the exploration of vocal vibrations. The work aims to awaken the expressive potential of the human voice; making this workshop ideal for anyone looking for greater confidence when speaking in public.

Please bring a short piece of spoken text (poetry or dramatic text – no more than 6 lines) that you are familiar with. 

(Be aware that exercises include adapted yoga positions, floor relaxation, arm-swings and other physical activities. All these can be adjusted to individual physical needs.)

Regina Crowley is a designated Linklater Voice teacher and uses the work to help people find an ease and freedom when speaking. She usually works with actors but has also worked with poets and people who find it challenging to speak in public.
