“Through your own searching, discovering, and doing, you will fully understand the feeling of complete mastery of voice and speech and its relatedness to the quality of performance.”
ACTOR TRAINING
Vocal training for actors is about unlocking the richness, clarity, and full vocal range available to you through the powerful instrument you already possess—your voice. As actor and coach Larry Moss says, vocal work is something that actors should do on a daily basis— I couldn't agree more. It takes time and dedication to fully realize the value and capability of your voice, to grasp how much more is available to you as an actor when you have expanded those capabilities, and to find a place where you no longer have to think about what you might do with your voice. That’s where we want to get you, at a place where it simply responds as you wish, no matter the demands of the role you are playing.
As a Certified Trainer of Lessac Kinesensic Voice and Body Training, I believe that the importance of training the actor as a whole, and not just individual parts, cannot be overstated. Vocal training for actors is not just about isolating the voice; it requires awareness of your body and breath, and how they are connected, to fully understand and perfect your instrument. With time, dedication, and a sense of playful curiosity, you can find new levels in your acting that will elevate your work beyond your current limits.
