I conceive the Roy Hart Work as a physical embodied sound expression in which I include many elements: spirituality, vision, colours, dreams, history, music, humanity...

Roy Hart Voice Teacher since 2009

My focus in sharing the voice work with others lies in listening. Listening with the whole body, listening to one’s inner voice, listening to the poetical and musical voice of oneself and others. This focus prepares the path for connection to each person’s voice and developing artistic expression from there.

I love Alfred Wolfsohn’s definition of the voice as the 'muscle of the soul', because it recognizes how intimately linked our voices are to our emotions and our deepest being. In the dynamic exploration of different qualities and registers of our voice, bringing us to sounds and feelings not usually touched by more conventional singing techniques, we become aware that we are exploring more than just our voices. As one’s voice grows richer and fuller so does the person behind the voice. There is a flow and an openness that allows for more expressivity and a greater ability to connect with others. I like to bring out the actor in everyone by calling upon archetypal characters and situations that require a direct, physical engagement of body, voice and imagination. It is a playful approach to voice teaching that encourages the student to forget about technique and allows him or her to tap into the immense source of creativity and spontaneous communicability that we all possess.
