3-DAY WORKSHOP
Fitzmaurice Voicework
WITH BUDI MILLER
In this 3-day intensive voice workshop, participants will be introduced to a series of exercises and techniques designed to lay the foundation for vocal support, vocal clarity, and vocal health.
What is Fitzmaurice Voicework®️?
The release breath work of Fitzmaurice Voicework®️ was created by Catherine Fitzmaurice and influenced by the work of Alexander Lowen's Bioenergetic Tremors, yoga stretches, shiatzu, and reiki. There is an expansive release of the respiratory system, vocal tract, and accompanying skeletal musculature with the aid of physical ‘dynamic efforts’ and is where actors are introduced to the energy of the breath. Participants will begin to experience the power of a free torso while discovering the different passageways of breath throughout the body and how they connect to the imagination and holistic vocal resonance.
