Singing empowerment Workshops

Jenie Oliver is a professional singer and vocal coach. After running some successful workshops for the general public, she has put together a programme, which will benefit the corporate world, on a number of levels. Singing together is a great leveller. One has to hear one’s own voice and at the same time hear the person next to you in order to build a unified sound and this plays out into building a strong team. We were designed to sing as the network of muscles that are attached to the larynx only function optimally when we do so.

Programme Outline

The workshop is entitled ‘Singing Empowerment’ as it is designed to free up the voice and show the participants how to use their vocal instrument. This is done via a few powerful and result orientated exercises, which will reveal how to access more of the vocal range, resonate the voice and release vocal tensions.

Participants are put in touch with the correct breathing practice for sustainable singing through a series of short exercises. This is followed by a warm up and the exercises designed to put participants in touch with their own unique voice.

The final part of the workshop focuses on learning a song and can also include the writing of a theme song for the group if time allows. Although the process is very much a practical one, the deeper implications are essentially aimed at building individual confidence as well as unifying the group as they ‘find’ their voices individually and corporately.

Benefits:

These are closely linked with the advantages of singing. Happier, healthier, confident staff will in turn generate greater productivity. It bridges and transcends the cultural and racial divides bringing unity in diversity.

Bookings:

Workshops, although in essence follow a fairly standardized blueprint, can be tailored more to specific company needs, i.e. more emphasis on team building, or presentation skills etc. This would also include how much time or budget is allocated for the process.
