VOICECRAFT® FOR SINGERS

Adelaide, AU, August 2009

"Alison's superb diagnostic skill and insight was wonderful to experience, and the wealth of skill and abilities learnt in such a short space of time is awesome."

Adelaide, AU, October 2006

"Anchoring. I have difficulty with my lower range, so this was useful. This covers areas I have not seen addressed previously. Earlier workshops have focussed on musical aspects rather than the voice itself."

L.L. Medical Researcher

"I would recommend this workshop because of the professionalism, backing research, clarity of presentation, opportunity to individually hear all people, ask questions."

G.D. Singer

"I would recommend this workshop because of the research / know how behind all the teaching."

G.S. Singer

CANBERRA, AU, 2003

"Good content, pace and excellent demonstrations and explanation of the principles and techniques."

S.C. Singer

"The information that I have received is invaluable for achieving freedom in singing."

T.R. Singer/Performer/Teacher of Singing

"It gives a singer, teacher, speech pathologist a greater insight into the mechanism of the voice and how to better use this "instrument""

J.K. Speech Pathologist/Singer

"The workshop has helped me understand the way my voice works in a way that I can relate to singing. Also it teaches very valuable techniques."

G.S. Singer

"The workshop has helped me see how to avoid strain in my voice and head and neck muscles. It's also shown me how to reach clearer high and low notes. I understand better how I was doing what I was doing and what not to do. It has completely changed how I look at things and I know a few people who would benefit from the knowledge I have gained."

T.J. Singer

"It helped to move me back to thinking about not just using my voice to speak and gave me confidence to return to singing without fear of damaging my precious instrument. The skills are relevant and quickly show changes for the better."

C.K.P. Singer

"The workshop has been very helpful, especially using people as models and seeing the positive changes. Alison's approach is so gentle and respectful."

D.R. Teacher of Music and Singing

"It gave me exposure to the inspiring and knowledgeable presenter, the moulding of good science with the human spirit and the creative. It gave me an understanding of voice science, and debunked some of the myths and increased my confidence as a singer and person."

L.H. Neuropsychologist/Singer/Performer

"I found it extremely helpful watching Alison working with people on song and speech. This workshop was like filling in the gaps with sand, the jar that was filled with golf balls from the last workshop! I think Voicecraft is very powerful and provides the answers to all those "unanswered" questions about the singing voice."

M.J. Speech Pathologist/Singer

"It has transformed my understanding of the voice and made me realise that previously I had very little understanding of it. This point of view is so different and informative and the presenter has a beguiling personality."

C.B. Singer

"My awareness has been deepened greatly. I have an understanding of where I am. I have possibilities of where I can move to. I have methods to use and work with."

P.M. Singer

LONDON, UK, 2002

"Learned what was affecting my voice and how to improve it. Good value, short, clear instruction, practical. Thanks for a great workshop - thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot."

N.T. Singer

"Enriched by seeing therapy with singers and techniques already learnt put into action in the singing voice. Takes away the fear of dealing with singers (as I don't consider myself a great singer!)."

S.R. Speech/Language Therapist

"Very well explained and demonstrated. Easy to see how techniques could apply to other voice users. Very practical. My usual criticism of workshops is that I'd struggle to apply them to practice. I couldn't say that about this one - I can really see how I could use the techniques in day to day therapy."

"During my formal training as a singer I was taught "imagery" and "feelings" to create certain sounds. This workshop provided the science behind what I was doing."
