This workshop is for anyone who uses their voice professionally for presentations, lectures, performance, or work related activities. This workshop will focus on improving vocal quality, range, expression and endurance by focusing on breathing. Stress reduction as it relates to vocal quality will be addressed. Lessons will be based on the Feldenkrais Method® and techniques developed by Marina Gilman.

The Integrated Voice Workshop - PERFORMANCE VOICE - for singers and/or actors

Do you need greater vocal and dynamic range to ‘get that job’?

Are you currently performing or would like to begin to get work as a performer?

This workshop will help you learn to get your body’s tension away from interfering with your breathing, projection and vocal quality and expression!

By combining Feldenkrais lessons and voice work together this workshop teaches you how to reduce interference by your body. Your voice will become more expressive and have greater vocal and dynamic range. We'll also explore voice use, vocal health and body dynamics to round out the picture for improved performance!

    “Once a week for ten years, I had the luxury of lying on a mat on the floor while Marina Gilman's soothing voice instructed me to do exercises that, when I stood up, helped me to move more smoothly, with greater coordination and balance. I am seventy-eight years old and have limited function in a knee and shoulder, Feldenkrais does not demand movements that I cannot do or that cause me pain. I will always be grateful to Marina for those years of support.”
    Jane Mather, retired editor

    "Marina Gilman is a unique and special voice teacher. She comes to the table with an opera background, is a Speech and Language Pathologist, and is certified in Feldenkrais (body-work method for actors and singers). No matter what I need help with, she always has the answer. I am constantly amazed at the breadth and depth of her knowledge! I feel blessed to study with her. -- Leigh Kossman, pop singer and Music Minister, Chicago."
