A confident voice and a confident presentation go together. Singer and Alexander Technique teacher Alan Philps will use his thirty years of experience to help people develop a more relaxed and authoritative voice. Simple aspects of efficient voice use such as articulation, pace, breathing, volume can be learned by anyone. The course will also cover vocal hygiene – how to look after your voice in everyday life and avoid misuse (which typically leads to hoarseness and nervousness). This course is for beginners – anyone interested in presentation, teachers, business people improving their impact in meetings and interviews, and of course singing. It is fundamentally practical – you will be using your voice. No previous knowledge of the Alexander Technique is necessary.

He trained at The National Institute of Dramatic Art, Sydney and with International voice teacher, Florence Norberg, London. Alan coaches in voice use for groups and individuals in London at The Walter Carrington Educational Trust, Imperial Wharf. He aims to help people understand the voice, both physically and psychologically, and to use their voice more effectively. People come to voice work for a number of reasons.

- Performance, Acting and Singing

- Presentation and Public Speaking
- Assertiveness, Relationships and Confidence Building
He uses the Alexander Technique as the basis of the work that he does with the voice. The Technique allows the correct support for the voice and automatically leads to improved breathing, stamina and strength.
