"The voice is the muscle of the soul." - Roy Hart
The Voice Class integrates pure voicework with physicality, creative expression and performance technique.
“Sound is nought but air that’s broken” – Chaucer
The Voice Class works with the movement of breath in the moving body, to facilitate passionate, nuanced, intelligent self-expression and communication. The overall objective is BEING consistently and totally present IN the act of sounding the VOICE.
Join us for eight weekly 2-hour sessions, exploring your vocal potential with and without text. No prior training necessary.

Flloyd’s work has been influenced by some of the world’s foremost voice and theatre practitioners, including Valerii Galendiev of The Maly Drama Theatre of St Petersburg, Anna Petrova of the Moscow Art Theatre School, Krszysztov Miklasewski, Frankie Armstrong, Kristin Linklater, Harriet Buchan (Roy Hart work), Marcia McCallum, Catherine Fitzmaurice, Ira Seidenstein (Quantum Clown) and Tim Smith (Vocal Alchemy)
"Your training has given methe confidence to be a valued member of the choir. I will be back for more in 2012"
"The penny dropped, and I realised that voice work is not a ‘nice to have’, but the foundation on which is built any hope of connecting with an audience"
“What Flloyd teaches has relevance beyond conventional theatre and acting, it can be applied in so many ways and walks of life"
“I was so impressed with the amount of info covered – the biology, theory, research, a huge range of vocal exercises, and then to integrate this so well with performance, authenticity, playfulness and mindfulness on stage."
"Thank God for Flloyd and her classes! Inspiring, fun and challenging… I would recommend these classes to any actor”
"If you live in Brisbane join up!! It’s the most fun and beneficial thing an actor can do for voice, imagination and body!"

As well as vocal function, and vocal maintenance, we will explore our full vocal range with techniques of lamentation and many different singing techniques. We will also examine how we use our voices to share our inner lives, and to invite others to see the world the way we see it, in the present moment, through a learned text.
At the end of the eight sessions, you will be ready to audition - if that is what you wish to do - and to participate in a grand, free-wheeling, no-holds-barred improvised choral symphony.
You don't need to be an experienced actor, or a singer, to benefit from and enjoy this work. On the other hand, professional actors, singers and voice users will find the work refreshing and invigorating.
Do give me a ring on 0414 749 739 if you would like to enquire further, and to discuss your own personal needs, voice-wise, right now.
