Ths Singing Body with Regan O'Brien

Vocal Movement with Regan

a mindful approach to singing, speaking and moving

“When we pay attention to the dynamic relationship between our moving body and our breath, our imagination and the associations which emerge, voice can simply happen in a spontaneous and joyful way”

Vocal Movement Sessions are suitable for those who use their voice professionally, for performance or for self-development…

…anyone who wishes to develop their connection with their voice, breath, body and creativity – for effective communication, creativity, community or pure pleasure!

“Both bodily challenging and mind blowing. Totally worth the effort!”

Valeria Venditti

A mindful connection with the breath, and physical awareness through movement,
creates a feeling of connection with your voice and helps you to find your pathway to clear expression.

This somatic approach to voice production creates an environment where the breath and the voice can simply happen as we play the connections in a mindful and joyful way.

“After our session I feel warm and connected in myself. Thank you so much for your work with me. It has been my lifeline”

Annie

“Vocal Movement work uses the voice to reveal a new way of relating to and expressing our whole being”

Working with voice through the moving body creates ease and confidence in speaking and singing.

Working together, we learn to take time to understand the relationships between breath, the moving body, voice, and imagination.

This practice builds a mindful awareness of the voice as a physical process, and generates strong and positive energy through the classes.

“I can honestly say that I look forward to every week’s new breathing exercises which really help me become more aware of what is going on in my body.”

my teaching practice

Distils years of deep, practical investigation into creative embodied voice and movement through live performance and learning.

Over the years I have travelled through Europe, Africa and Australia to undertake beautiful and challenging research into performance, the physiology of sound making, breathing techniques, traditional song and therapeutic practices relating to voice and movement.

“Your voice is an extension of your body. It is the sound of your muscles moving. Creating space and flexibility in the moving body we access the whole vocal range and expressiveness”
