Title: VOCAL CONFIDENCE - Jan 26th
Description: First 2008 Open Seminar – Sat Jan 26th 1-5pm - Central London “In
everyday communication, only 8% is based on the words I speak…. 92% of
the information is communicated by the sound of my voice” ...especially
true when only the voice is involved... eg. singing ..radio
..voice-overs ..telecommunications.. Your voice is your most
crucial asset – but all too often it's the one skill that’s
under-trained yet overworked thereby potentially sabotaging all the
other hard training, strategies and effort that goes into any
profession. Presentation of any content only succeeds when it can be
vocally conveyed with passion .... ie with VOCAL CONFIDENCE! Devised

technique is fresh and relevant in an industry of urban myths and
Chinese whispers. I cannot imagine anybody who would find it confusing
or contradictory to anything they have learnt, just more applicable in
performance and easier to understand. At the end of the day if you want
to ‘cut the crap’ out of your technique and fall in love with your
voice again, Alix Longman is who you need.” (Luke Rich, Actor) Having
been a huge devotee of more conventionally packaged vocal techniques I
was greatly interested to see whether this method could actually stand
up to inspection and deliver convincingly in such a short time. I was
hugely impressed and not only did I feel an immediate difference and
improvement in my voice but I did so in a relaxed environment without
any uncomfortable feeling of ineptitude or worry that I might not 'get
it'. These techniques have already injected a whole aray of
colours and attitudes to my vocal pallet and have been enjoying
integrating then into my performance practice. Especially
useful/practical aspects of Alix's method were the relaxed context and
tailored delivery of the session i.e. working with the whole groups
needs often brought to light experiences or practical examples that,
although not everyday in my profession, helped greatly with my
understand the techniques / the no nonsense, no paper approach. Alix's
teaching method is hugely warm, genuine and human with great command
and understanding of the subject and its PRACTICAL applications. I had a wonderful time and I am passing the word around about your seminars (Tom Giles - Actor/singer/session vocalist) "Having
attended and organised numerous presentation training courses, the
Vocal Confidence seminar is the best I have experienced after 10 years
in PR. In only four hours, all delegates learnt practical skills to: * engage the audience * present clearly * turn nerves to your advantage * not strain your vocal cords * project your voice so you can be heard without a microphone, whatever the venue or audience size. I can certainly recommend Vocal Confidence to all my clients, colleagues and friends." (Naomi Byrne - Director, Knowwhere Communications) "Let me explode with praise for your presenting style and vocal knowledge! The
seminar was everything I had hoped and I had a great time. I was
looking for something to turn my thinking upside down because, after 11
years of seeing various vocal coaches; I was bamboozled, unconfident,
suffering from recurring voice loss and had completely lost faith in
traditional methods. I was very close to giving up - you were my last
hope. The dream is still alive, thanks to you. I could have listened to you talk for days on end and I didn't want the seminar to end - a touch of GENIUS! Brilliant and FUN! Meeting you and learning your technique has helped me on the way to finding just what I have been searching for for 11 years. Your
technique has undone some of the unhelpful techniques I've been using
but it has brought alive others that I'd read about but never managed
to invoke/evoke. When it goes right; how you KNOW IT! I will keep you informed of success stories and will tell many, many people about you. I would recommend the seminar to anyone and everyone. People from all walks of life will benefit and it's worth every penny." (Wendy Evans, Actor/Singer) "I
just wanted to say thank you for the class I had with you. It really
helped me with things, in fact I was very emotional when I left...the
breath thing was a revelation! Really quite incredible: suddenly many
things became very clear to me. Thanks again, I will certainly
recommend you. (Dominique Baron, Singer/Actress – Maureen in ‘Rent’ on Broadway) "Alix's
teaching method was perfect for me as I tend to switch off if people
start getting too technical and explaining things in too much depth
before giving me the chance to put their words into practice. Alix
taught the method at exactly the right pace for ease of learning
quickly. I have already noticed a difference to my work and so have the
people I work with! Alix's method is unique. It is simple yet
effective, easy to learn, easy to use and not easy to lose! No pressure
was applied and if you didn't get it first time round, there was no
feeling that you were stupid or a failure. I have rehearsed an
hour-long show today that is 85% singing with no ill effects on my
throat or my voice. This has never happened before ever! I feel more
confident in going to auditions and more confident that I will get a
wider variety of acting work from now on. If you want quick results
with minimal effort do Alix's seminar. It will be the best money you
ever spend no matter what line of work you are in. (Karen Kennedy, Actress/singer & Assistant Secretary for General Equity - Three Counties Branch) "Success!
I covered the weekend breakfast show yesterday - I got more callers,
texts and requests than usual and had more confidence about myself
because of the new voice technique.” (Andy Kench, Radio DJ Presenter)
"I put the technique into practice 2 days after your seminar and it
worked! Now I know how to defeat my nerves properly. I have suddenly
realised after 15 years of lessons, what on earth I’m supposed to be
doing with my breathing and throat when singing and speaking. Not only
can I control my voice better, but the regular tiredness in my throat
has disappeared. I can speak all day and my singing is coming along.
Also my confidence has improved because I feel I can control my nerves
now. Thanks very much for a great afternoon on Saturday! " (Hannah Dean, Actress / singer) Further Info / Testimonials / Bookings: www.vocalconfidence.com alix@vocalconfidence.com
