VOICE WORKSHOP - ASHEVILLE
NEW DATE: JULY 13, 2025
Thank you for your interest in this three-hour introduction to the ideas and techniques of master voice teacher Patsy Rodenburg OBE, taught by Patsy Rodenburg Associate Willie Repoley. Whether you are a beginner in your field or highly trained, this work is applicable.
Please read on for more information about the workshop. To apply, please fill out the form below to begin reflecting on your relationship to your voice, and so I can get to know you a little. (You can visit the “teacher” section of this website to learn more about me and this work.) I will be in touch with you by email to confirm.
What can you expect? A friendly, non-judgmental workshop chock full of simple, practical exercises designed to help free your own authentic voice, and release it into the world.
Who is the ideal participant? If you speak, if you interact with other people, this is for you. Voice workshops are often aimed at actors, or folks giving professional presentations. But the techniques we will be exploring together are broadly applicable, and helpful across innumerable disciplines. The truth is, we all have a voice — but most of us don’t use it fully or efficiently.
This workshop will help you identify and use your authentic voice by building awareness of the vital connection of body, breath, voice and speech. The work is embodied, meaning it is not learned primarily with the brain but with the body. You will be on your feet, engaging physically with the ideas and techniques presented. You will begin to identify and release habits that restrict your ability to speak with ease and presence. You will work to deepen the breath, extend the breath, and to release the voice cleanly and fully.
You will learn how to recognize and utilize Patsy Rodenburg’s Three Circles of Energy™ that describe and define our attention towards the world and each other. If you have studied acting, you are probably familiar with Patsy Rodenburg through her many wonderful books, including The Right to Speak, Speaking Shakespeare, and The Woman’s Voice. Whether or not you have read her books, this is a chance to experience her work as intended: in body, not simply in mind.
The cost of this introductory, general workshop is $75. It will be held at Sun Soo Martial Arts (800 Fairview Road / Suite D-2, in the River Ridge Market Place), Asheville NC, 28803 on Sunday July 13th, from Noon - 3pm. Space is limited. Sun Soo students are eligible for a further discount; please inquire.
