Performers: Achieve extended sound with more freedom

Relieve general jaw tension due to grinding, TMJ issues, or overuse
Release your larynx (and your tongue, and your breath!), facilitated by jaw release exercises
Enhance your vocal resonance through increased space and freedom in the vocal tract
You'll leave the workshop with practices you can repeat regularly to release your jaw tension (and vocal tension) for good

Taught by David Ley and Elissa Maas Weinzimmer
David Ley, Professor of Voice & Speech at the University of Alberta, came up with the idea to use a vibrator for the voice when he was trying to figure out how to help a client with vocal tension. Elissa joined him in teaching the technique when she discovered it was solving her years-long vocal stamina issue. Together they are passionate about giving you the tools to reduce vocal tension and enhance resonance.
Do I need to bring a device to the workshop?
Since this technique is focused on the use of external vibration, if you can bring a vibrating device, you'll use it! When you sign up, we'll send you an email with a link to devices we recommend. But, if you don't have time to get something, or you're not ready yet, don't worry! We'll teach you effective modifications you can do with your hands.
