The School of Uncovering the Voice

Foundational course #1: “Exercises to Forget the Breathing”

Shannon Boyce, certified Uncovering the Voice teacher, will offer the first course from The School of Uncovering the Voice Foundational Training “Exercises to Forget the Breathing” online this fall from September 27th thru December 23rd.

It is offered to those interested in exploring “Uncovering the Voice”, an artistic impulse developed by Mrs. Valborg Werbeck-Svärdström under the guidance of Rudolf Steiner.

In this work, the singer and the process of singing are viewed holistically, with the aim of the natural opening and balance of the voice. A wide range of specific singing exercises will be developed together with a comprehensive study of Chapters 1 and 8 of Werbeck’s book, Uncovering the Voice: The Cleansing Power of Song.

In this work, the singer is invited to pursue a deeper self-awareness through moving with confidence and joy toward discovering his or her own voice. It is a gentle process, and the voice is never pushed along but develops slowly through the engagement and active participation of the singer, who gains a deeper understanding and manifestation of the truly free voice.

The course will be offered over 12 weeks meeting once a week from September 27th thru December 23rd 2021. It includes one 90 minute online group lesson per week, a total of 12 lessons.
