…Find Your Self
Every voice is individual and special. It is your unique sound carried on your breath.
Your voice is capable of many different sounds, qualities, range, and pitches, depending on how you feel and what you want to communicate.
Voice is different from any other musical instrument in that we don’t just “play” it. We ARE our instruments. When we sing, our whole being is involved – body, voice, thoughts, emotions, and spirit. Our rich inner world influences the way we sound and how we present ourselves in the world.
It follows that voice work can have a number of different goals.
If you would like to improve your instrumental or “outer” singing voice, please take a look at my pages on Performance Skills and Learning to Sing.
If you are feeling blocked in some way that affects your “inner” emotional or psychological voice, please check out my Talk Therapy page.
If you are interested in using singing and voice work as a vehicle to explore your inner world of feelings, then please take a look at my page on Vocal Psychotherapy.

It’s been profound and really, really empowering.” M.R.
