- Full plans for two ninety-minute core sessions, laying the essential foundations of voice work: breath, diction, resonance and relaxation - Seven themed workshops exploring individual aspects including projection, rhythm, the power of language, emphasis and Shakespeare - Micro sessions that can be used within the structure of any session, or when time is short - Further sessions to help incorporate voice work into rehearsals for a school or youth-theatre production Also included is a personal exercise plan to help you develop your own skills and confidence as a voice teacher, whatever your level of experience. Teaching Voice is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in vocal training for young people, whether you're looking for a structured programme of workshops, or simply for some fresh ideas to inspire your students.
