the absence of tension

“Tension in your voice is tension in our ears. Tension in your body is tension in our bodies.”

We receive our own stress sonically and so do our loved ones and our audiences.

Your voice, free of tension carries the resonant vibration of you, relaxed, present and aware.
It’s soothing to other people. And to yourself.

Locating your voice in your body will give you everything you need. In every situation.
Especially when preparing for the unknown.

I was trained by the best in voice and speech. I learned how to warm-up, tune and play my instrument.
Employing my voice to help me ‘perform’ well,
I was able to reach thousands of people, without a microphone.

When it came time to find out who I was,
without a role to embody or a character to play,
When I had to find out what I needed, wanted, thought and felt.
I was lost.

I did not want to speak from a place that I could not feel.

I could easily disconnect my voice from my feelings, hiding my own emotions and thoughts.
I couldn’t hear myself think and often the words that came out were not my own,
but rather a collection of ‘nice girl’ people-pleasing phrases,
said in an accommodating tone that I can only describe as customer service.

That was until the moment I got to know my entire physical voice and relaxed into what I was capable of expressing.

Decades of study and students have revealed to me all the voices we wear as masks, to survive to succeed, to get through each day.

And we end up hiding our authentic voice, our feelings and thoughts, even from ourselves.

Investigating how to find my voice quickly in high stress environments,
I was able to speak and perform from my real identity with the tone and vibration that is uniquely mine.

I found out that distance between who I really am, beyond any programming and past experiences,
and the voice that comes out can be bridged.


And it felt so good, like falling into a soft, fluffy bed made of clouds.
Resting in safety and comfort, I was free to express my full range.
Feelings and thoughts came out clearly and confidently.
And I became giddy with my new found (original) technology.
