Voice Therapy  

What is Voice Therapy?

Voicemoves Voice Therapy is a unique voice empowerment approach developed by Carmelle Moore.

Thirty years providing speech therapy,  sixteen years teaching yoga, extensive training in Voice Dialogue and a range of somatic disciplines inform the work.

Traditional voice therapy techniques are interwoven with voice dialogue and embodied practices to achieve and maintain enhanced vocal resonance, flexibility, endurance, projection, warmth and presence. 

Carmelle combines warmth, enthusiasm, sensitivity and a creative intuitive approach along with her professional skills to help you find your most authentic or 'true', resonant & powerful voice, whatever your vocal needs (singing, speaking, presenting).

Voice therapy is suitable for a wide spectrum of vocal needs, from addressing vocal issues that are causing significant difficulties, to refining voice production for the professional voice user.

 

 

This vocal transformation process can assist you to express more of your self, expand your vocal repertoire and facilitate clearer communication.

 

 

What happens in a session?

Together we thoroughly assess and develop an understanding of the limitations in your vocal expression.  We explore your unique story and experience of your voice.  We unravel old, and develop new patterns for body, thought, breath and voice.   Awareness of how these new patterns feel, what they represent and what may assist them to become anchored in your experience and life, are integral to the process.  Simple yoga and other body-mind processes are often employed to enhance learning of the more subtle aspects of voice production.

 

You receive a personally tailored program of vocal exercises (which you are welcome to audio-record), to continue the development of your voice towards its fullest potential. 

 

For some individuals a radiantly-resonant field of sound may be used to facilitate the parasympathetic nervous system to 'come on line' so you can access deeply relaxed breathing patterns that form a foundation for efficient voice production.

Many of us operate predominantly in the sympathetic nervous system arousal of our survival physiology (fight/ flight/ freeze).  Shifting to parasympathetic predominance is often necessary to access the awareness needed for change in the voice and the whole being.

 

 

 

Vocal Development Specifics

vocal specifics

 

We address vocal development through:

 

  • Accessing optimal breath support.
  • Creating structural & inner space and freedom.
  • Amplifying resonance for projection and brightness.
  • Finding a balance of relaxation and muscular engagement to empower and clarify tone.
  • Expressing energy and intention from various 'body-energy centres'.
  • Using the voice as a vehicle to connect with and express your authentic self or 'essence'.
  • Addressing personal and psychological issues concerning voice

 

It is the aim of Voice Therapy to free the voice and self from personal limitations, hidden barriers and under-developed aspects.

Through a systematic application of vocal technique, body & energy alignment,  psychological & bio-energetic exploration, we refine and expand your vocal repertoire.  

This allows the voice to become a resonating vehicle for your unique expression and expanded awareness.
