Voice coaching for your production
The impact of the voice in a production can sometimes get lost by the wayside as budgets are squeezed and time is tight. It is such a core element of how we communicate and build a connection though, getting it right can transform a production. If your performers know what they are doing, build a connection between the voice and text, deliver full resonant performances, it will reflect in the work. Of course it also helps them to be heard, understood and have stamina too!
Voice work can be particularly beneficial if you are working with screen actors on stage, younger or less experienced actors, productions that require a lot of stamina, difficult spaces and also high profile productions where voices need to work just as well when they are under scrutiny and pressure.
We can work within your time frame and budget, so whatever you need or whatever issue you need to solve, please get in touch!
