For about two years prior to the summer of 2010 I had a bulging disk that eventually severely herniated. It’s interesting, disk pain slowly creeps upon you. I really never fully knew how much pain I was in until I went to London to teach a British Studies in theatre class. Unfortunately, I had to leave the UK for emergency back surgery since the pain was so bad I could barely walk. After flying home to America, I went to the spinal clinic where they immediately started making plans for surgery. The next morning I once again had to return to the clinic and have a MRI done so the  doctor would know how to proceed during the operation I was put into the MRI machine and was told it would take at least 20 minutes for the test. I was in so much pain, the only way I knew how to survive what to start y-buzzing. It’s interesting that my body knew that was the only way I could get through it, because at that point my mind was not functioning other than knowing I was in intense pain.. What I found was while I was y-buzzing, I actually started to laugh out loud, my husband has a recording of it. It was fun! There I was barely being able to walk and laughing from the natural high I was getting by just feeling the vibrations. I did have surgery shortly after that event and have been pain free and loving life ever since. Thank you, Arthur!

I love this work.  It has served me well as an actor and a singer since the first time I was introduced to it in graduate school at the Dallas Theater Center. I have used it in my professional life as a performer, and I have taught it exclusively since 1981, and have never found any vocal problem that couldn't be solved with this work. The Lessac kinesensic training relies on sensations that we feel within us--rather than on outside imagery, or imitation, rote drill or inspiration. It is a gentle, self-teaching modality that (in the words of Arthur Lessac) feels good, sounds good, looks good, moves forward and communicates!

I have been trained by several highly skilled voice teachers throughout my education as a singer and actress, and I can say with absolute honesty that Nancy is one of the finest.  She has a genuine interest in her students and a contagious love of her work, which she communicates with joy, clarity and ease!  Nancy has helped me to discover the range, colour, strength and softness of my voice, which has proved invaluable to my work as a performer and performance educator.  I would recommend her to anyone seeking a better experience of the quality of their voice, whether for everyday life, performing arts or business.
