Vocalates™ is a system of exercises designed to cultivate a healthy and expressive speaking and singing voice. Principles and exercises drawn from Pilates, yoga, qi gong, and the Alexander technique are employed to help create an open, supported, communicative, and resilient vocal instrument. Actors, singers, and anyone who speaks in public will benefit.
The foundation of this work is centered on the breath and creating healthy body mechanics.
We do not expect to take the place of voice teachers and vocal coaches, but we hope to supplement and enhance what our students learn from them. Often we can help translate the instructions and corrections our students receive from their voice teachers into functional physical practice. We have had success helping our acting/singing/public speaking clients improve their breathing and vocal production. In some cases, our clients have credited us with increasing their confidence and even their creativity. It is amazing how everything improves when we learn to use our bodies in a healthy and biomechanically sound way.
Our focus is primarily to prepare our students to sing/act/speak in public to the best of their abilities in mind, body, and spirit.
