Voice
Everybody has a voice; every voice has a body.
Vocalization is a fascinating and unique phenomenon.
The myriad colors and nuances in the daily voice of each person —texture, pitch, pronunciation, accent, and usage —create such a variety and diversity among people. But the basic fact is that we generate sound through physical action.
Embodied voice is the result of my research on vocalization through the perspective of the Feldenkrais method: by learning to sense the most minute components of this complex action, whether it’s tongue movement, diaphragmatic action, or action of the vocal cords, you learn to refine it and better control it. The more awareness you have of how you produce sound, the richer your vocalization is, and it becomes easier to feel what you do, adjust it to your needs, and improve your listening to others.
