“Those whose aim is to share what they feel with an audience will allow emotional energy to activate the breath and generate vibrations. These vibrations, reinforced by all appropriate resonating feedback, will flow out through the body, gathering a mix of sinus, cheekbone and nasal vibrations as they travel through the face, creating sound waves with a carrying power faithful to the initial aim. Communication is the byproduct of desire, intention and freedom.”
Kristin Linklater
A lively introduction to the Linklater Voice Work or a terrific refresher for those who have already had Linklater classes. This workshop will help you free your breath, develop resonance, loosen jaw and tongue tensions and wake up your vocal range.
Relaxation and release is essential to opening, freeing and ultimately strengthening your voice. In this initial workshop, you are becoming aware of how your voice and body carry habitual tensions and beginning to undo them. This is the start to freeing your breath and vibrations of sound. As your voice begins to loosen up, the next step is to develop resonance by sensing and spreading the vibrations through the bony hollows of your body. Once this connection is established we can move onto addressing deep tensions that develop in the jaw, larynx, and tongue and encourage your sigh to find a free and focused pathway beyond those tensions that filter your message. By giving your sigh of sound a clear passageway from the lower body all the way up through the mouth, you will be ready to begin to strengthen the voice and activate more expressiveness with the resonating ladder. In Voice 1 you will contact the chest, the mouth, and the teeth resonators and blend to find a warm, relaxed and focused connection between your thoughts, feelings and your voice.
Voice level 2 workshop - expanding Vocal Range and Articulation
Teacher: Brett Radke
July 18 & 19
Saturday & Sunday 12 pm - 5 pm (ET)
Fee: $280

This workshop is meant for those who have taken voice before and would like to strengthen their full range of resonance, expand their breath capacity, and wake up their articulation in order to find a bridge to speaking their text in a clearer, and livelier way. Each session will take you through an embodied warm-up geared towards freeing and opening your voice that releases throat, tongue and jaw tensions, develops more breath capacity, and strengthens your full vocal range.
Then you’ll focus on invigorating the muscles of your mouth that contribute to economical articulation, and connect to the tactile sensation of consonants by playing with tongue twisters so you are ready to speak your text clearly and expressively.
Please have some text ready to explore.

“Any good piece of writing has its own palpable rhythm, texture, and style. A sensitive interpreter will allow that rhythm to alter personal rhythms, will absorb the different texture to color the voice differently, will let the style shape and transform delivery. A sensitive performer, whether interpreting a text or not, will want a voice that serves the desire to communicate.” Kristin Linklater
This workshop will use the Linklater progression of exercises to play with what is called “prosody” - the music, rhythm, resonance, volume, and pitch of the voice ,and to develop how it wants to live and speak from the body centers, to find an authentic embodiment in creating a character.
