If you have had a spell off work through illness, redundancy or maternity leave then getting back into the right frame of mind can be tough. The lack of contact with work mates leaves you feeling out of the loop. Getting back into the physical routine might seem very arduous and a bit daunting and you may feel that you won't cope. It may be that you feel your mental muscle is never going to come back and that you won't be as good as you want to be. Essentially your self esteem is generally a bit in short supply!
What I value above all about the training we offer is its physical nature. We appreciate that the mind and body are intrinsically interlinked and that to ignore the needs of one in order to focus solely on the other is not a great game plan. Of course we need to prepare content in order to come across to any audience with clarity and focus but if we leave out the physical preparation we can seem lacklustre, even boring to our interviewer. We may not even be heard. Our training focuses on the physical signals we send out and then offers ways to easily counteract any negativity. We accept that most people can't spend hours improving themselves vocally so we offer simple practical ways into vocal work that when tied in with the bodywork has an immediate effect. There is a beauty in its simplicity and the way that after some brief very but affirmative interventions people are more buoyant, stronger and back in a frame of mind that allows them to take on the world again. They also look and sound terrific.
Top tip: Sound goes where it is placed. Focus your voice on a point just beyond the person furthest away from you to ensure everyone hears what you have to say.
