VOICE WORKSHOP - ASHEVILLE

Sunday May 10th, 2026 2:00-5:00pm

Thank you for your interest in this three-hour workshop in coordination with Montford Park Players’ upcoming season. We’ll be exploring ways to prepare for using your voice fully, authentically, and safely, focusing on heightened text in large venues. This workshop centers the ideas and techniques of master voice teacher Patsy Rodenburg OBE, and is taught by Asheville-based Patsy Rodenburg Associate Willie Repoley.

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 fully and safely.

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. I believe this is what Shakespeare requires of actors.

You will also be introduced to 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: on your feet, not just on the page.

The cost of this workshop is $75.00, or $60.00 for Montford Park Players members.

The workshop will be held at Hazel Robinson Ampitheater on Sunday May 10th, from 2-5pm.

Please submit the form below, and I will be in touch ASAP to confirm registration.
