it’s essential to spend some time every day doing a vocal warm-up.
But I know it can be challenging to figure out what to do. It’s really important to practice gentle exercises that help you strengthen your voice, while not overdoing it. We certainly don’t want to wind up more fatigued after our warm-up!
Which is why I designed a warm-up sequence especially for you...
These exercises focus on muscle tension release and gentle vocalizing to slowly untangle your vocal tension.
Join me to learn simple exercises to center your body, voice, and nervous system before you start singing.
and I’m the founder of Voice Body Connection.
I’ve been teaching voice and movement since 2011. I came to this profession out of my own need - when I was 21 years old, I lost my voice due to overuse and muscle tension dysphonia. My vocal stamina was shot, and I had to learn how to rebuild both my speaking and singing abilities.
My own healing led me to study many theatre and singing voice methods, as well as yoga & Ayurveda, meditation, anatomy, somatics, Polyvagal Theory, and speech science. Over the years, I’ve become certified in Hatha Yoga (RYT 200), Fitzmaurice Voicework®, and Body-Mind Centering®, and earned an MFA in Theatre Voice Pedagogy. Across my experience in these various disciplines, there’s been a uniting message: Moving our bodies and making sound are two great privileges of being human. Taking time for embodiment and vocalization practices allows us to experience health, joy, and wholeness.
