Everyone possesses a voice capable of expressing the many subtleties of emotion, mood or thought he or she might experience. However, tensions, defenses and negative experiences can inhibit the voice from utilizing its full depth and range. Through detailed exercises combining imagery, imagination and technical knowledge with physical awareness and action, this course aims to free your voice to spontaneously connect with your mind and heart. Actors, singers, public speakers and anyone who wishes to use his/her voice more effectively will benefit from this course. No class 02/20/19; makeup class (if needed) 03/13/19.
Daniel Conte has been involved in music since learning to play the tuba in 4th grade. He is a singer, composer, pianist, and conductor. He believes most people have a lot more ability than they think and enjoys helping them realize it.
