The Visceral Voice Academy

This program is for vocal professionals who want to integrate purposeful movement into their voice studios—singers, voice teachers, performers, and vocal and movement coaches who are seeking a deeper understanding of how the body moves and connects with the voice. This program is designed for professionals who know there’s more to vocal training than vocal technique and want to empower their teaching or performance with a holistic, physically grounding approach.

Discover the Power of Movement in Your Voice Studio
This isn’t about random exercises—it’s about transforming how you teach and perform by understanding how the body rotates, grounds, and integrates with the voice. For vocal professionals ready to elevate their craft, The Visceral Voice Academy is the pathway to meaningful change.

Visitor's Questions:

What is the Academy?
The Visceral Voice Academy is a comprehensive program designed to teach vocal and movement professionals how to integrate purposeful movement into their teaching and performance. Beyond just a course, it’s a thriving community where voice teachers and professionals can exchange ideas, build lasting relationships, and collaborate on innovative approaches to connect the body and voice.

Why should I care?
If you’ve ever struggled to incorporate movement into your studio in a way that feels purposeful and grounded in vocal science, this program is for you. It matters because the body and voice are deeply connected, and understanding that connection can unlock new levels of performance, teaching, and vocal freedom.

Next session begins September 3rd 2025.
