Purpose
Class helps performers access and then communicate the whole range of their humanity with greater vocal freedom, focus and power.

Voice One
Fitzmaurice Voicework Fundamentals:
The fundamentals of opening the breathing and freeing and supporting the voice. Designed for students who have completed the introductory workshop or who have had some private training. After 2 - 6 months in this class, students can transfer into Voice Two.

Voice Two
Applying Fitzmaurice Voicework:
Standing in the fullness of your experience and communicating with others through your voice. This class is a mixture of applying voicework to monologues, auditions, etc., and deeper and more specific explorations of Destructuring and Structuring and their relationship to presence and communication.

See the About This Work page for more info on the work.

Prerequisites for Study
To take the classes, you need prior experience with the Fitzmaurice approach.

To get that experience, you can take an introductory workshop that Saul offers every couple months. You can also begin with private coaching and transfer into the classes after four to ten lessons.

If you have prior experience with another Fitzmaurice teacher, you'll need to take one private session with Saul so he can see how you're working and you can familiarize yourself with his approach. If you prefer, you can do an introductory workshop instead.
