Join Whale Chorus Artistic Director and vocal coach Janie Gibson in a weekend intensive in the world renown Linklater Voice training for both actors and non–actors. In this workshop you will awaken your connection to your natural speaking voice through exercises in relaxation, breath awareness, feeling voice vibrations in the body, opening the throat, strengthening the resonators and enlivening articulation. Curious beginners to experienced performers are welcome.

Date: Saturday March 14th & Sunday March 15th

Time: 10am - 5pm

Where: The Locker Room at The Station, Corner Scott St, Watt St, Newcastle NSW 2300

Cost: $395 (full) $345 (concession/unwaged)

Please note: This is primarily speaking voice work - but the singing voice also benefits enormously from the focus on free breathing, resonance and the release of tongue and jaw tension.
