In this workshop you will learn to:
- Liberate the voice you have rather than applying vocal techniques from the outside
- Use your voice as an instrument: sounds, pitch, melodies and rhythms
- Explore the range, possibilities and potential of your unique voice
- Draw on the practices of Kristen Linklater, Patsy Rodenburg and Cassie’s extensive work as a voice artist.
