    Voice is the Muscle of the Soul

    £90.00

    Sometimes called ‘The Muscle of the Soul’, the human voice is a fundamental instrument of communication – expressing information, emotion and character.

    It is versatile and expressive;

    It sings, speaks, chants, sighs, laughs, cries, yawns, squeaks, and groans.

    It probably tells other people more about ourselves than any other single aspect of our being.

    And yet many people struggle with their voices; feel they can’t express themselves through it; feel they don’t get pleasure out of their voice; feel they communicate poorly with it; don’t ‘like’ their voice; feel their voices get weak or stuck or sore.

    The aim of this course is to explore The Voice in all its aspects with a view to increasing its power, range, versatility and strength, to discover the pleasures of speaking and sounding, and to develop the many ways in which the Voice is an instrument for creating art.

    Description

    We will be looking at the speaking voice and how it can become more expressive and energized, but the work will go well beyond the limits of speaking and will explore what has become known as ‘Extended Voice’, encompassing the extraordinary range of human vocal sound that is not usually included in the categories of speaking or singing, but is an essential part of being human.

    Your teacher, Richard Spaul, has studied Voice and Extended Voice with several of Europe’s leading Voice practitioners, including Enrique Pardo (Pan Theatre – Paris) and Noah Pikes (The Whole Voice – Zurich) and has developed his own vocal techniques in his involvement with in situ: both as teacher and performer. He employs many such voice techniques in his recent solo performances: Ghost Stories and Tales of Mystery and Imagination.

    Group exercises, games and improvisation combine with focussed individual work in a course that will appeal to anyone interested in the Voice in whatever art form – actors, singers, storytellers, musicians, but also people who are seeking more confidence, strength, flexibility and expressiveness in their voice with regard to other areas of work and life: teachers, presenters; people working in the media; people working in business; parents – indeed anybody – whatever their walk of life – who wants to get the most out of The Voice – that most expressive of instruments.
