In the private lessons, Debora focuses on the needs and goals of each individual and is able to approach the work from many points of view. Private sessions are one hour long and can be recorded. Each session will include some or all of the following integral steps towards freeing your voice:

Physical release work: releasing unnecessary tension in the body

Alignment: centring and rooting the body so that the voice can be centred and rooted

Breath support: exploring diaphragmatic breathing with the support of the ribs and lower abs

Resonance: exploring and balancing the chest, head and mask resonators so that the voice is even and smooth through the whole range

Range: keeping the voice rooted while opening the natural, three octave range that every person has, and doing so with as little extraneous tension as possible

Articulation: exploring the jaw, lips, tongue, and soft palate so that consonants, vowels and words are pronounced efficiently and easily.

Monologues and Songs: integrating the voice work with the song and/or monologue. Text/lyrics will be examined so that each individual finds his or her own unique connections. Audition technique and relieving "the nerves" will be discussed and practiced through regularly scheduled workshops.
