Runtime: 65 mins
Have you felt vocal strain when teaching? Ever get to the end of term and lose your voice completely? Professional actors spend years training their voice as an instrument and are equipped with the tools to take great care of their voice on and off stage. So why don’t teachers receive the same guidance and training? Your voice is key to your ability to do your job well. Knowing how your voice works (and why it sometimes doesn't!) means you can control the quality of your voice. A teacher who is in control of their voice is better able to engage their students. A healthy voice is crucial to a teacher's performance and wellbeing.
In this important session Bell Shakespeare’s Voice & Text Coach, Jess Chambers, will guide teachers in how to look after their voices, how to avoid vocal strain, and how to manage symptoms of vocal stress. This informative, eye-opening session will give you the same tools given to professional actors, and aims to get you to the end of term with voice intact.
