vocal mastery
| |
Studio Amphion is unique in its combination of vocal training and performance support. As a Life Coach, Victoria works to help others give their best performance - in public speaking, singing, teaching, lecturing. In operation since 1995 in Victoria, the studio welcomes auditioned mature men and women and children and teens. Aspiring professionals who desire to develop themselves personally through the voice and who are open to deepening their own creative expression are especially welcome. Commitment is a non-negotiable element of training. Studio Amphion focuses on body-centred training. Victoria has achievement in both martial arts and yoga as well as singing.
Vocal training involves the development of powerful technical skills:
· Breathing and support
· Increasing your range
· Vowel improvement
· Sight reading
At Studio Amphion, this is combined with training a mindset of personal mastery, which supports the vocal training. An emphasis on commitment and practice encourages an attitude of accountability and develops into strong vocal presentation skills. Pertinent questions are asked to explore motivation and resistance. Your awareness of yourself as an instrument will be enhanced. As part of the coaching, we work together to build your commitment level, develop a deeper connection to the poetry in the song, and to your audience. Positive thought patterns will be developed. The bi-product of this work is better self-awareness, greater self-confidence and a more relaxed and genuine presence. The speaking voice is improved and better breathing means you are more relaxed!

Quotes: |
I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality.
H.A. Overstreet
