Testimonials
"Thanks to Flloyd... I came to the auditions for NIDA, QUT and VCA feeling confident and well prepared, and was accepted into the 3 year acting course at the VCA school of drama. After 3 years of training with some of Australia's best acting and voice teachers, I can now fully appreciate Flloyd's range and depth of experience and skill. I credit her with giving me my foundation of experience and understanding of the actors instrument - the fully engaged, spontaneous, imaginatively embodied voice. I highly recommend Flloyd for any position relevant to the craft of acting.”
"Thank God for Flloyd and her classes! Inspiring, fun and challenging. She's made acting make sense to me. I've rediscovered my playful spirit, curiosity and passion for theatre and gained confidence and grounding through the solid vocal and physical training she offers. I would recommend these classes to any actor"
"Before I worked with Flloyd, I didn't understand that acting was about really being in the moment and being true to the self, I mean sure, I heard people tell me that but I never truly understood. I thought that speaking text was like singing a set melodic phrase with a few forced tears here and there for emotional purposes. Once Flloyd showed me and convinced me that acting could be so much much more, a whole new exciting world opened up for me that I'm going to keep exploring for the rest of my life - in the field of opera. What Flloyd teaches has relevance beyond conventional theatre and acting, it can be applied in so many ways and walks of life"
"I have attended the Being in Voice classes over the past 12 months and have found them invaluable as an actor. The classes helped me to be more aware of my body, voice and breath on a number of different levels. Things I found helpful were the following
* Learning to be in my body and stay grounded
*Learning to be aware of the impulse, going with it, or observing it
*Learning the qualities of the archetype and working with the archetypes, has given me the opportunity to be more flexible as an actor.
It gave me the tools to explore characters, and opened me up to a more exploratory process. It gave me the opportunity to open up to more choices.
*Also realizing the archetypes are not stereotypes but carry the myriad of emotions from strength to vulnerability.
*These classes gave me the awareness that just when you think you have discovered the archetype that there is more. Learning that things are not fixed, but how we as actors have to be constantly alive to the moment, one moment to the next, then the next.
*Being in Voice classes help me to keep my “instrument” as a performer, sharp and ready
