“Everything that happens to you or occurs in your environment affects your breathing.“
Your voice is just ‘sounding breath’. Fitzmaurice Voicework® is holistic and deals with the whole human voice to help develop vibrant and expressive voices that are authentic and compelling. It is a practical exploration into the relationship between body, breath, imagination, voice and language.
The work is taught widely in academic institutions, including the Yale School of Drama, Harvard University/American Repertory Theatre’s Institute for Advanced Theatre Training, New York University’s Graduate Acting Program (and some NYU undergraduate studios), the University of California-Irvine, and many other places around the world. Fitzmaurice Voicework® clients include leaders from companies that are major innovators in their domains as well as non-profits and government agencies working for the benefit of our communities and our world, such as Google, TedX, Amazon, Disney and Netflix.
With over two decades of experience as a performer/educator/actor trainer, Mallika initially developed Vāchikā as a battery of exercises adapted from Yoga, Pranayama and Kalaripayattu to support actors to use their voice in a healthy manner. Vāchikā now has wider application in wellbeing, and is accessible to anyone interested in the human voice. These are practical exercises to help strengthen the voice, increase resonance, reduce vocal fatigue, maintain vocal health, and address fundamental issues related to articulation.
