Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this vocal class:

Tamala Bakkensen synthesizes the work of two brilliant teachers, Kristin Linklater and Moshe Feldenkrais, to help you liberate your body and free your natural voice by using them in healthier, more pleasurable and intelligent ways.

This workshop will be both practical and creative: to discover how to release tensions, to reconnect with your natural breath rhythm and to learn how to create a warm, vibrant resonance through your body, undo tensions in your throat, tongue and jaw muscles, and open up access to more vocal range. Powerful Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Lessons® will help to clarify the ways in which your spine and skeleton can support you vocally. Learn to express yourself through your voice without straining or unnecessary muscular effort and use awareness to free your natural voice from inside to out. You will explore how to more fully embody your text with breath, body and imagery work. As well as how to recognize your genuine impulses to communicate through your body and voice.

Please wear comfortable clothes to move in and have a piece of text you’d like to work on that’s about 1 min long. This can be a monologue, speech, poem, etc.

  • Voice & Feldenkrais Workshop

    Reviewed by Cindy H. on 6/27/2022
    It was a really good introductory course with a great instructor! Wanting to explore options for addressing persistent spoken-voice issues, I took a chance and signed up for the Linklater Voice & Feldenkrais Workshop. My expectations were low, but my mind was open. I am so happy I took the chance. The instructor, Tamala Bakkensen, was wonderful. She immediately connected with the class as a whole and with each student individually. Her knowledge of the Linklater/Feldenkrais methods was impressive as was her ability to bring those methods to life without overintellectualizing the process. I highly recommend this course!

    This was an outstanding class. Tamela is one of the best instructors I've ever had for Voice and Feldenkrais. It was an honor to work with her. If you ever get the opportunity to take this class, do it! The transformation you will experience is nothing short of amazing. I give it my strongest endorsement.

    This was an outstanding class. I never imagined that I would get as much out of it as I did. Tamala is one of the best movement and voice instructors I've ever trained with. She gives thoughtful and insightful feedback and encourages her students every step of the way. She creates a safe and nurturing environment for her students to take risks without the fear of being berated or criticized. She is patient, kind, and passionate about the craft of acting. Tamara is a rare gem. I cannot recommend her class strongly enough.
