I love the song lyric by The Red Hot Chili Peppers: “If you have to ask, you’ll never know”Ask only thyself. You are capable of accessing all the creative happiness you will ever need. You can do this, & so much more, by simply studying how you breathe. You can do it right now. Feel your way … Knowing and “inspiration” is yours if you spend time being kind to yourself, training your mind to be peaceful & calm, reading or listening to well written books, by taking care of your piece of the planet, and by being a blessing to everyone you meet. The only way to learn to really sing and act and speak well is to create a personal practice of doing so. Create a practice, in real time with wonderful people. Look for your teachers! Seek them out as if you were a righteous Quaker🌟Study with the very best people who have years of experience!! Pay them well. Devote your precious energy to studying new ideas and learning new methodologies. Remember: no one can ever take away what you’ve learned. Educate thyself 🌟 the Quaker #SPICES Simplicity, PEACE, Integrity, Community, Equality and Stewardship. These are words to unpack and get inside of! Be a part of the good in this time-space continuum. Be a part of the good. Be good, or be good at it! Fitzmaurice Voicework combines adaptations of classical voice training techniques with modifications of yoga, shiatsu, bioenergetics, energy work, and many other disciplines. This integration serves to harmonize the voluntary and involuntary aspects of the nervous system, and the voice.Through deep and practical explorations of the dynamics between body, breath, voice, imagination, and language, the work develops vibrant voices that communicate intention and feeling without excess effort.Fitzmaurice Voicework focuses on the whole human voice, and can support speaking for performance, public speaking, singing, voice with movement, vocal rehabilitation, and developing greater presence. Since breath and voice lie at the intersection of the material and the non-material, this work can also assist in creative, intellectual, and spiritual growth. I work with teens and children, too. My goal is always to develop a Re-Set practice, to promote awareness of well being and how to make good choices. I have spent many years as an educator, a mother, a poet, and a certified Pilates & Yoga Instructor.
