Voice and Body Incorporated... why?
The aim of this project is to feel and embody the sound of our own voices. Therefore, each session intends to overcome the illusion that singing and speaking are only about the vocal folds.
Speaking and singing are complex processes that require more than one hundred fascial, respiratory, and oropharyngeal muscles, all of which respond in the right order over a few milliseconds. The muscles in the whole body are coordinated and timed by the nervous system, brain, cerebellum, and basal ganglia. These few sentences demonstrate how much happens in the body when we speak and sing. To add to this, mental and emotional issues can be stored in body tissues and cause physical tightness, which impacts the entire body and affects voice quality. This indicates that the voice is also influenced by bodily expressions. So, let’s make the human body part of our vocal expressions, shall we?

"Once the voice moves through a body that is opened and relaxed by embodied yoga and specifically designed movements, the sound becomes free, flexible, and emotionally expressive."
In addition, this technique can help increase energy, release muscle tension and stress, improve concentration, and support creativity. Through practising, we learn to calm and centre ourselves.
The process is applicable to all musicians, singers, actors, storytellers, teachers, yoga practitioners, public speakers, performers, and anyone interested in authentic vocal expression.
