Why voicework?

Voicework with Hannah is fun and uplifting. As we all have a speaking voice she believes we all have a singing voice. The mind, body and voice connection is the key principle to the unfolding of the full potential of your voice. It isn't about having a “good” voice or “getting it right”, rather expressing a range of emotions through song and sound. Singing releases endorphins - and this is associated with benefiting our well being and stimulating the immune system. Simply, it does you good.

A typical session

A typical session starts with breathing exercises to clear the mind, aid concentration and deepen breathing. Some gentle physical warm-up exercises follow to loosen up the body and voice. Graduated exercises such as call and response songs move you from speech to melody and so opening the voice. Further work can include vocal toning, improvisation exercises, group call and response and popular group-led “sing-alongs”.
