Voice Techniques
Whether you are a teacher, lawyer, salesperson, actor, singer, or student, your voice is your primary means of communication. You use your voice throughout each day, in both personal and professional situations. When your voice becomes tired or strained, it can affect every aspect of your life, from phone calls to business meetings to simply chatting with friends and family. Fortunately, by learning to use your voice efficiently, you can reduce fatigue and effort, even when speaking for long periods of time.

I have worked with many voice teachers, coaches and specialists over that time and can honestly recommend Brenda as one of the best. She has an extensive knowledge and depth of experience through her own background as a performer, singer, and director as well as her impressive academic credentials and success. Recently, as I worked on a role that demanded intense physical and psychological transformation I found myself struggling with vocal strain and went to Brenda for advice. She gave me excellent input. Simple, focused, directed at the issues I was having and perfectly manageable. She not only had full comprehension of what I was up against but she could distill the information I needed into clean, clear, thoughtful, steps that directly correlated to the issues. Her input was practical and efficient. She quickly gave me ways to approach everything from my warm ups to the actual performance that I could put to use and it made an enormous difference. Brenda is warm, humorous, and approachable. She is empathetic and curious and willing to work with you where ever you are in the process. I highly recommend her. " --Maureen Porter, actress |
