Hello Everyone!!

Here is a very simple foundation for checking in with the body before more extended voicework or as an easy warm-up before a presentation, performance, or rehearsal. I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think!

Take Care Friends,

The next 5 Episodes of our "BeSpoke Speaks" podcast are live! We are so excited about our sixth episode. This Wonder Woman-inspired episode is designed to help you communicate to yourself and to others in a strong, supported way. There’s a story behind this post. While Christine was traveling back to the States for a visit, she decided to finally watch ‘Wonder Woman.’ She was on a plane and, thankfully, she had the whole row to herself, because she had about three sobbing fits while watching this movie. We are not exaggerating. She was hiding her head behind her pillow as tears streamed down her face and her body was shaking with tears. It was dramatic. She cried the first time because it was such a relief and a joy to watch women warrior training sequences and see women’s bodies being so empowered. She cried the second and 3rd times because she realized the main character, Wonder Woman, had no shame. What must it be like to have no shame about yourself whatsoever, about your body, your power, your sexuality, your intelligence, because no one ever taught you to feel it or tried to make you feel it? She was crying at the beauty and possibility of that idea. It was a deep couple of hours. That is exactly what we want to spread in our voice and communication coaching– teaching people how to embody and express their ideas, passions, thoughts and emotions compassionately and with no shame. This warm up is designed to help you do just that. You do not have to be a woman to do it– just a human being who is interested in finding your full communication potential, including tackling the way you communicate with yourself. You’ll work on physical presence, energy, breath, supporting your voice, empowering your self-talk, and practice speaking about your passions/beliefs/curiosities. All in one 20-minute sequence! You can download this episode on iTunes or on Buzzsprout at this link: http://www.buzzsprout.com/271932 If you enjoy what you hear, leave us a rating and review on iTunes! #wonderwoman #voice #warmup #bodylanguage #empowerment #powerpose #publicspeaking #presentation #performance #presence #actorslife #actor #londonactor #training #voicecoach #breathing

It's almost back to school time, so our 5th episode of our BeSpoke Speaks podcast, Voice work for Teachers, is dedicated to you, teachers. ⁠ ⁠ Did you know that teachers make up over half of the population that has to take sick leave for voice rest in the UK? We don’t want that to happen to you. So teachers, let’s be mindful about how you’re taking care of your voice. This episode is designed especially with you in mind, teachers, but it’s also useful for anyone looking for a good daily voice warm up.⁠ ⁠ You can download our podcast on iTunes or on Buzzsprout at this link: ⁠ ⁠ http://www.buzzsprout.com/271932⁠ ⁠ If you like what you hear, please share with your friends and consider leaving us an iTunes rating and review! ⁠ ⁠ #voice #teachers #warmup #communication #grounding #alignment #bodylanguage #presentation #presence #publicspeaking #actor #actorslife #rolldownhair #londonactor #training #voicecoach

Are you applying for a new job? No more waiting by the phone. The 4th episode of our BeSpoke Speaks podcast, Voicework for Job Interviews, is a sequence to get you physically and vocally grounded and present for your next job interview. This sequence is great to do before any communication event where the stakes are high and/or you are feeling some nerves– interviews, auditions, annual reviews, presentations, performances, etc. Let us know how it goes (we especially want to hear if you got that job!). Please share this with anyone you feel might benefit from this and, if you enjoy what you hear, leave us a rating and review on iTunes. ⁠ ⁠ You can download this episode on iTunes or on Buzzsprout at this link: ⁠ ⁠ http://www.buzzsprout.com/271932⁠ ⁠ #jobinterview #bodylanguage #breathing #voice #communication #powerpose #publicspeaking #interview #presentation #presence #actorslife #actor #londonactor #performer #training #voicecoach #londonactor

Episode 3 in our BeSpoke Speaks Podcast series is called 'Align Yourself' and is all about helping you find your alignment. ⁠ ⁠ Finding your alignment is about stacking the bones of your body from the crown of your head to your toes. It all starts with the feet, which is why you are getting a special peak at these sexy cat slippers. Meow! ⁠ ⁠ Finding your alignment allows you to stand with grace and move with ease. It’s a timeless posture that will keep you more comfortable and allow you to breathe more easily when you stand up. Easier breathing means easier speaking. It can be used as a prelude to a vocal warm up or as a way of checking in right before you begin to speak in any communication context.⁠ ⁠ You can download on iTunes or on BuzzSprout at this link: ⁠ ⁠ http://www.buzzsprout.com/271932⁠ ⁠ If you like what you hear, feel free to share with a friend and/or leave us a rating and review on iTunes! ⁠ ⁠ #voice #alignment #grounding #bodylanguage #communication #communicationskills #actorslife #actor #performer #londonactor #presence #publicspeaking #presentationskills #training #coaching #voicecoach #londonvoicecoach #feet

Want to be inspired? ⁠ ⁠ Your breath in is literally an inspiration. The deeper the breath, the more inspired you are. Listen to episode 2 of our BeSpoke Speaks Podcast, "Breath Support: Part 2" to find out how to connect to your inhale on a deeper level. Learn how to breathe in effectively to connect to your thoughts and communicate them with authenticity! ⁠ ⁠ You can download BeSpoke Speaks on iTunes or you can find it on BuzzSprout at this link: ⁠ ⁠ http://www.buzzsprout.com/271932⁠ ⁠ If you enjoy what you hear, please consider sharing with your friends and leaving us an iTunes review! ⁠ ⁠ (Picture sourced from michaelmcgrath.co.uk) ⁠ ⁠ #voice #inhale #breathing #inspiration #communication #podcast #shepodcast #deepbreathing #communicationskills #listening #actors #actorslife #londonactor #performer #presence #yoga #yogalondon #anatomy #voicecoach #authenticity #presence

Have you ever wondered how babies can cry and cry without losing their voices? ⁠ ⁠ The first episode of our podcast, BeSpoke Speaks, will explain why. It's called Breath Support: Part 1, and it's a 30 minute lesson in how to access your 'vocal support muscle’, your Transversus Abdominis, to find your full vocal power. ⁠ ⁠ This segment is great introduction to how you can access a sense of vocal ‘groundedness’ and authority, or just how you can cry like a baby for hours and not lose your voice.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Download on iTunes or on BuzzSprout at this link: ⁠ ⁠ http://www.buzzsprout.com/271932⁠ ⁠ #crybaby #voice #communication #vocalsupport #transversusabdominis #actor #actorslife #londonactor #publicspeaking #presentationskills
