This 5 day workshop is specifically designed for those interested in experiencing stronger, more resonant vocal quality with ease, in conjunction with creating more physical flexibility, strength and expressive body movement. Lessac Kinesensic Training is unique in its holistic, comprehensive and creative approach to all aspects of developing the body and the voice, for speech and singing and as creative instruments of communication, behavior and perception. Kinesensic training is a self-teaching, sensory-based process based on feeling the way the human body functions naturally when it is free of adverse conditioning. It then uses those physical sensations to identify, produce and voluntarily control the voice and body. This training is beneficial for actors, singers, directors, barristers, presenters, business people. A daily schedule would be full of instruction with appropriate breaks within that time frame.

Participants of the Lessac Kinesensic Voice and Body Training will expect to learn:
• Posture and breathing
• Breath support and breath control
• Body energy and flexibility
• Body conditioning and physical fitness
• Body characterization
• Vocal variety and contrast
• Text interpretation
• Development of full dynamic pitch range
• Control of projection for stage, microphone, and personal use in intimate, social, or formal situations
• Development of the male and female voices for speech and singing
• Connecting physical and vocal life to the emotional experiencing system
