What does ‘Body Based’ mean?

Many approaches to teaching voice look like this:

‘In order to X, you must do Y,’ which is followed by an explanation or description of a concept. This is learning with the mind, a top-down approach, and it’s why so many singers are ‘in their heads’ onstage.

Or they sound like this:

“Move the sound back up & over!” “Place the voice between your eyes.” “Use forward placement.” These imagery based ideas work well for some people, but don’t often link the perception with the action, leaving singers with technical gaps and a fragile technique to rely on, especially since these are other peoples’ images.

Instead we are going to focus on giving your body new experiences that will help it grow effortlessly, helping you develop your own unique sense of your singing with images that are yours, to help you reach beyond your goals!

This bottom-up process of self-organization is playful but focused, and will improve technique, refine artistry, and provide strategies to use in the moment to avoid panic and stay cool as a cucumber in performance.

You’ll be amazed by what’s possible.

Why I do things a little differently.

Have you ever asked yourself, “what am I actually learning in my voice lessons?”

It’s really common that vocalists are passive in their lessons, often engaging in vocalizes, scales, and arpeggios for 30 out of 60 minutes without knowing what they’re for or really why they’re spending so much time on them instead of on their songs.

I asked myself the same questions in my training years, but never asked my teachers. In fact, I felt in the dark a lot, and whether it made sense to me didn’t seem to matter.

I want my clients to know how to improve on their own. That’s what it’s about after all, right? Let me give you the tools and teach you how to use them.

A 'body based’ approach connects all of the dots. It creates a relationship between technique and artistry so that they support each other.

It isn’t that vocalizes aren’t important (though they aren’t that important, if you ask me), the problem is the disconnection between the technical aspects of your lesson and the artistic ones.

A body-based approach is a complete integration of

Technique, Artistry, and Strategy.

Instead of a standard set of technical exercises, we will explore ways to make your voice function easier - sometimes we’ll play with vocal colors, sometimes we’ll explore movement or grounding, sometimes we’ll explore acting games to draw out the brilliance that’s already there!

The body doesn’t learn the same way as the mind. The mind uses reason and logic to learn but the body develops new movement possibilities through exploring different ways to achieve intentions.
