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

We have very exciting news! BeSpoke now has a podcast: BeSpokeSpeaks. Many of you have been asking us about turning our audio guides into a podcast so that they are downloadable and you can take them anywhere and everywhere. Well, we have listened, and we are happy to announce that 5 episodes in season 1 are now available on BuzzSprout and iTunes. The first 5 episodes are some of our more popular audio guides. ⁠ ⁠ You can find our podcast by going to this BuzzSprout link: http://www.buzzsprout.com/271932 and by searching 'BeSpokeSpeaks' on iTunes. ⁠ ⁠ We are also planning on expanding the content of the podcast. We won't only be offering audio guides of warm ups and exercises, but we'll also have episodes that are informal conversations between Lindsay and me where we discuss questions that are coming up for you, our lovely audience, around voice and communication. Some of you have already sent us some questions to answer. If you have a question about your voice or communication style, or voice and communication generally, that you'd like us to answer, please comment below or email us at bespoke.comcontact@gmail.com. We would really love to hear from you! ⁠ ⁠ If you're enjoying what you're hearing, please consider leaving us a review on iTunes. We are very excited about how this could grow and thank you so much for your support. ⁠ ⁠ #voice #communication #podcasts #podcasters #shepodcasters #actor #londonactor #actors #actorslife #publicspeaking #performer #performance #communicationskills #breathing #yoga #yogalondon ⁠ ⁠

What did you do this weekend? I had an incredible weekend with fabulous human beings teaching our Presence and Creative Flow for Performers workshop @artsedlondon with @craigdeuchar. Something incredible has begun with our synergy of Organic Intelligence® and Fitzmaurice Voicework® which was beautiful to see unfold in our performers! This synergy of work fits so beautifully with the BeSpoke ethos, which is all about authentic, mindful communication. See testimonial below and stay tuned for future events: “I really enjoyed working with Christine and Craig and really benefited from their combined experience over the course of the weekend. I have experienced positive results in my performance from doing organic intelligence with Craig before so to be reintroduced to the practice of orientation and implement it more specifically into performance was not only very calming but brought a level of effortlessness to my pieces that I have not felt before. I have learned several techniques over the course of the workshop that I will use moving forward in a professional context; for my warm ups, audition pieces and in life in general. I would highly recommend working with both Craig and Christine.” Janna Fox, London ��Like our Facebook Page to keep up to date with future events: https://www.facebook.com/presenceandcreativeflowforperformers Contact to host a workshop or for one to ones(online or in person): clmottram@gmail.com My Websites: www.christinemottram.com www.bespoke-communication.com xx Christine ��#artsedlondon #getoi #organicintelligence #fitzmauricevoicework #actorslife #actor #presence #londonactors #actingtechnique #performer #creativeflow #communication #acting #voice #embodied #breathing #nervoussystem #londonyoga #yogalondon #healing #publicspeaking #traumahealing��Organic Intelligence® is Copyright © 2015 Hoskinson Consulting

“The first-years say they practiced orientation before coming into performance class yesterday and guess what? It really helped!! They all said they felt calmer and present!” ⠀ ⠀ As a Voice & Communication coach, I am always looking for ways to help clients build a bridge— so that they can transfer the work we do together in the safety of the learning environment to more pressurized communication situations of speaking publicly, whether as a character or as themselves. It’s one thing to try grounding and breathing deeply and letting your voice be heard when the stakes are low, but the pressure of speaking publicly is a game changer! It’s that pressure that often makes us feel destabilized, or hold our breath, or feel scared to really allow our voices to be heard. ⠀ ⠀ Orientation work from Organic Intelligence, a mindful approach to working with the nervous system, and grounding and breathing work from Fitzmaurice Voicework, are really useful tools for building that bridge. This is why I am so excited to be collaborating with OI coach @craigdeuchar to be offering a weekend workshop @ArtsEd that is a synergy of these two methods: OI and FV working together to help you stay present in your communication, especially when the stakes are high. ⠀ ⠀ The above quote is an email from a teacher at ArtsEd. She is referring to students who have been working with me for a year on developing their orientation, breathing and grounding skills. Performance class is one of the highest stakes classes for them, where they have to walk into the room in front of a panel of teachers and their peers and sing a song. It looks like their work is paying off! ⠀ ⠀ Join us for a weekend of building the bridge— Presence & Creative Flow for Performers, June 22&23 at ArtsEducational Schools London.

Presence and Creative Flow for Performers Workshop London June 22/23 EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT ends TOMORROW, Friday May 31st!! As performing artists, often the struggles we experience, whether in the creative process in rehearsal, performance or the classroom, come from a nervous system that is attracted to the Fight/Flight/Freeze response. We literally don’t feel safe. A predominance of these states and an inability to get easily back to safe mode in your nervous system has devastating effects on the creative process and in life. Your system is de-synched! This might manifest in a negative thought loop, difficulty breathing or restrictions in the voice, or stage fright. Maybe it manifests in feeling really low between jobs. OR maybe you’re just not accessing that in-the-moment creative flow that comes when you’re in a meaningful situation, surrounded by amazing friends and colleagues where everything seems to go well in an easeful, effortless way. The good news is that the nervous system is trainable. You can learn to make strategic interventions that will take your system away from de-sync and towards biological synchrony where an easy, pleasurable and meaningful connection to yourself, others and your work all reside. Join @craigdeuchar and @xtinemott at @artsedlondon on June 22/23 for a weekend of bio-syncing using Organic Intelligence(r) and Fitzmaurice Voicework(r) to explore biological synchrony in the context of finding presence and creative flow in your artistic process as a performer.
