- Do you feel your voice is weak and does not project who you really are?
- Have you always longed to sing?
- Do you need to present well in a range of forums?

- Some key tips to help you find greater range, resonance and expand the capacity of your voice
- Sing in harmony with others and experience true joy, freedom and peace
- How to tune into the right, intuitive side of the brain, and unleash more of your creative potential
This workshop is suitable for singers and especially non-singers who have been told they cannot sing or have a fear of speaking in public.
