Awaken your natural voice!

I run individual singing lessons and workshops for freeing the voice from habitual tension and restrictions through the joyful exploration of breathing, posture, voice exercises, movement, improvisation and singing.

Communication is at the heart of our existence. It is the very foundation stone upon which our relationships are built. Therefore, we find in every human being an innate longing to communicate, to voice feelings, to be heard and understood, to express the joy of being alive. And what is singing other than just that? – a communication freely given.

I enjoy working with groups and individuals to explore the natural voice through singing. There are many approaches to natural voice work and a great variety of exercises to help the individual on their journey of discovery.

To me, what is fundamental to voice work is the development of ‘listening’: not the internal listening that most of us are familiar with, but an external listening, a listening for our voice out there in the space. This type of listening renews our vocal experience and opens up exciting possibilities for developing and freeing our natural voice.

Apart from teaching voice work and singing, I also write my own songs, which can be found under my artist name: Kath Spellman (please see links below).
