As Pilates teachers, the voice is an essential tool in the practice of teaching and yet the maintenance of the voice is often neglected. VoiceGym is a complete system of exercises that coordinate the body, voice and brain. This introductory session focusses on the ‘early stages’ of vocal development and demonstrates how to introduce ‘play’ to the voice.
