I am planning to go to Aole Miller’s voice workshop.
Its description:
Fitzmaurice Voicework, Michael Chekhov, Monologue Workshop
Through Fitzmaurice Voicework and Michael Chekhov Technique, Aole will address the issues of voice, movement, speaking, and the pressures of performance on stage and screen while implementing what he calls the “Rosetta Stone” of acting, which helps actors energize their actions through character without being intellectual or heady.
This workshop will cover both the Destructuring and Restructuring elements of the Fitzmaurice Voicework. Whether you are new to Fitzmaurice Voicework or have been using it in your acting for years, this is an opportunity to get a deep hands-on experience targeting your personal goals with your voice. After covering the breath release postures of the Destructuring series, Aole will go over the Restructuring technique of efficiently asserting the voice with each participant helping them target potential solutions. Because of the small class size, this is a great opportunity for those who are still learning how to Restructure and who are still working on reducing counter productive speaking habits.
The second part of the day will focus on the “Rosetta Stone” of “the actable action” through character transformation inspired by the Michael Chekhov technique.
