HAPPY VOICE – A COURSE IN HOLISTIC VOICE-WORK

Find the vocal solution that works for you!

The course is suitable for anyone wishing to explore the voice and releasing more power, flow and depth.

Many people want to get more power in the voice, find their own unique expression. We help you to expand voice-potential. We work with sound, voice and silence, your feeling of safety, voice power, voice volume and vocal modes. Voice Coaching, meditative breathing and focus, motivation, NLP techniques, vocal techniques and exercises are included in Holistic- voice-work™

During this course we will work with different voice-techniques together with breathing, body, sound and grounding. You will learn how to create vocal tones and modes that inspires and connects. The goal is for the acquired vocal techniques to be usable immediately after the course.

Expand your voice and your range. Feel the difference in your body. You work with song and holistic sound both individually and in the group, along with gypsy-song and chanting. We also work on your goals. Using different techniques, we work with your vision and voice, voice-usage and awareness.  We work with anchoring and self-esteem.

The work with Holistic- voice-work™ started in courses and individual lessons in 1997. Holism (from the Greek holos, whole, complete.)  The idea in Holistic- voice-work™  is that your voice can not be explained or determined by your vocal placement and voice techniques alone. Instead, you have your whole being which is of crucial importance for how the voice is “acting”. The whole specter of your layer of experiences can hold keys to open your voice. To make you feel happy and safe with your own voice and let the joy of singing and the joy of your own sound fill you and your voice.

Dear Marianne and Astrid. Thank you for a wonderful course with you. Here I have found again the joy of singing and my own love for my voice. You’ve let me get up and find the playful human in me, like bubbles of lust for life.
Thank you,

Marianne Jørgensen has worked with music and singing for 23 years and has studied classical singing in Norway and Denmark. She worked for several years as a singer and actress in Trøndelag Theatre. She has studied holistic singing technique through gypsy song by the Czech gypsy singer Ida Kelerova. While she was taking classes with Astrid Elisabeth in voice-liberation and holistic sound therapy, an exciting journey with the voice into the body and not least in to the discovery of the enormous power and creativity that lives inside us began. This was the start of a brand new music-landscape, filled with gypsy music, creativity and improvisation which formed her teaching. Later she studied at Complete Vocal Institute in Denmark. She also studied NLP. These are teaching tools she uses to enrich, teach and develop the method Holistic- voice-work™. She combines classic and new song and vocal technique with voice-releasing exercises. As a performer, she has written music and worked as a singer. Her goal for the students is that they find their own voice and unique musical universe.

There is a very good flow and dynamics between the two teachers and their skills that gives the course an extra lift. The two teachers love to work together, and the flow and dynamic in the teaching gives you all the best from both of them.
