Your voice is your whole body. It is deeply connected to how you breathe, how you balance, and how you coordinate yourself. With the help of a skilled Alexander teacher you can free up your natural coordination so that your own unique voice can be expressed in its fullness.
AT can help you discover your voice, develop your voice and assist with difficulties such as vocal strain. Vocal strain is often underpinned by physical and emotional tensions. Learning Alexander Technique, with gentle attention you become aware of your own patterns of tension. You may discover that you have been working harder than you need to produce sound, tightening your neck before a difficult phrase, or stiffening your shoulders to reach the high notes. By releasing overall patterns of tension, creating the conditions for natural breathing to happen, and learning to free the jaw, larynx and tongue, your voice will function more freely. Your range, tone and projection all benefit.
Applying AT to your singing practice can help you sing your song with your whole being. Whether you sing professionally, perform in a choir or simply sing for the joy of it, with the Alexander Technique you can bring more of yourself to your voice.
