Freeing Your Voice
August 6 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm Eastern
In this experiential workshop, participants will explore the voice as a tool for communication and storytelling. Through breath work, vocal exercises, movement, and physical exploration, we’ll investigate how tension impacts the voice and discover techniques for increasing vocal freedom, clarity, and presence.
Participants will develop greater awareness of their vocal habits while building confidence in their ability to communicate with confidence and intention.
