| Personal Statement |
| I believe strongly in the connection between body and
voice work and the need to integrate the two, both for
actors and others. My work is grounded in Lessac training
but integrates elements of other voice and movement
training. In addition to voice and movement work, I am
interested in the application of voice work in acting,
especially when working with classical texts. |

| Personal Statement |
| The Voice is a powerful
instrument of communication, persuasion - even inspiration -
that can be trained and focused to achieve professional and
personal goals. Each student brings a different set of
assets and liabilities to work with in perfecting his or her
voice as a unique instrument of success. In my training in
the vocal arts, I have witnessed remarkable transformations
in voice, acting and presentation skills as well as in
accent reduction as the result of the Lessac approach
artfully applied. In Lessac work I personally found an
exciting unfolding to voice awareness and to a new dynamic
vocal image. |

| Personal Statement: |
My purpose at The Self-Expression Center is to support
people to develop the comfort and confidence to be authentic
when they present, perform or communicate. When you are
authentic, you are your most clear, powerful and persuasive.
Whether you are a business professional, speaker or actor,
you must engage the eyes, ears and hearts of others to be
successful. The sound of your voice can make the difference
in whether people listen and respond to you or not. Your
voice either draws others to you or repels. I teach the
Lessac Method to help business professionals, speakers and
actors develop their natural voice that resonates with the
power and beauty of the authentic self. |
