Posture, Poise & Balance

Did you know that how you stand and balance yourself affects the quality and resonance of your voice? Even the type of shoes you wear can hinder vocal projection and even cause vocal tension and lower back pains!

In this course, your child will learn how to stand properly, balance themselves efficiently, and how to walk in a manner than commands attention and respect. Systematically addressing all this will:
 

• improve their breath management,

• ​allow their voice to move with greater agility, and 

• gesture more authentically. ​​

Your child will also be exposed to a series of techniques and exercises designed by Richard Greene, Professor John Hale, Professor Melanie Long, Kristin Linklater and Patsy Rodenburg, all designed to enhance and optimise the use of their voice in any circumstance. And yes, all these skills can be used for singing if your child decides to join a choir or become the next Australian Idol. No technique is goes to waste! 
​
We will methodically go through our 4 step approach covering stretches, posture & alignment, and breath work using my specially designed VoIXStraw™. Remember, a good speaker is only as good as her or his breath control and vocal resonance! We will also dive into articulation, enunciation, inflection and all the aspects of clear and persuasive speech.

Overall, this course aims to prepare your child to stand with elegance, walk with poise, and speak with confidence!
