Your voice!

The Alexander Technique in the service of free breathing, the spoken and sung voice, privately and in front of an audience.

Every musician tunes their instrument before playing so that it sounds good. The same applies to singers or speakers whose instrument is their own body.

Many prominent artists such as Paul McCartney, Sting, Juliette Binoche...appreciate the approach of the actor FM Alexanders because he

• creates the conditions for the best possible sound, free of tension and rich in expressive nuances
• not only helps to say/sing words, but to convey messages that convince and touch

In this 10-part online course, we look at key elements to:

• permeable erection: good posture without holding
• interference-free vocal tools such as tongue, jaw, lips, throat
• good breath management
• clear articulation - with mouth, body and soul
• Tamed stage fright - expression without pressure even under pressure

The course is aimed at anyone who

• have a vote
• are interested in a holistic approach to expanding their vocal potential
• would like to get an impression of how working on the voice lays out a red carpet for our personal development,
• who want to experience how fundamentally free breath and a free voice promote health and emotional well-being - especially in "masked" times
