Voice and Body Incorporated... why?
The aim of this project is to feel and embody the sound of our own voices during each session, with the intention of overcoming the illusion that singing and speaking are solely dependent on 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. What is more, these numerous processes can be impacted by mental and emotional factors, which may cause physical tightness that affects not only the entire body but also the voice quality. Therefore, integrating the human body into our vocal expression is an essential step towards befriending our voices.

"Your voice is a distinct expression of your thoughts, emotions, and values. It is a reflection of your experiences, passions, and perspectives. It is a unique identifier that sets you apart from others, just like your fingerprints."
"Once the voice moves through a body that has been opened and relaxed through embodied yoga and specially designed movements, the sound becomes free, flexible, and emotionally expressive."
The connection between our voice and body is a powerful one, and understanding this relationship is crucial for unlocking our full potential. When we integrate vocal exercises with specific physical movements, we create a harmonious balance between our body, mind, and emotions. This synergy is what allows us to tap into our inner strength, flexibility, and determination while also cultivating concentration, self-control, and self-knowledge. By recognising that our body is the physical vessel of our voice, we can begin to appreciate the intricate dance between our physical and vocal abilities. This awareness empowers us to take control of our voices and bodies, allowing us to express ourselves with greater authenticity and confidence.
Each session helps to increase energy levels, release muscle tension and stress, improve concentration, support creativity, and allow the voice to become more free, flexible, powerful, and emotionally expressive. Through practice, 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 seeking authentic vocal expression.
