Her client list is formidable, having worked with everyone from Kenneth Branagh to Daniel Radcliffe. At our recent Open House in London, Barbara hosted a voice workshop and shared her top insights into improving your voice practice.\u00a0Here are our notes with of the key take away points.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Make it about ease<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">The real magic in life is actually going, &#8216;I&#8217;m ok, I&#8217;m enough. I&#8217;m proud of this and I&#8217;m still fine.&#8217; Because actually, when you feel okay about where you are, you can work really hard on things &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t make you complacent, it just makes you able to work. I think the real magic is a\u00a0kind\u00a0of self acceptance of joy and play.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">Barbara Houseman<\/div>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorDescription\">Director &amp; Voice Coach<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Before anything else, Barbara says it\u2019s important to remove tension from the body &#8211; many problems can be resolved simply by working with ease rather than effort. Then, you can mover on to explore vocal support. This is about ensuring a steady flow of pressurised air through the larynx\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 without adequate pressure the throat muscles will try to compensate for the lack of pressure by squeezing. Vocal support is a natural function in the body &#8211; we all supported our voices as young children.\u00a0It\u2019s a question of reconnecting with that natural function and NOT about pushing with the abdominal muscles. Imagining that your throat is deep inside your belly, that the sound comes up from there can be an effective way to get the brain to reconnect with the deep abdominal muscles and stop it sending messages to the throat which can lead to unhelpful tension. Any time you experience ease, pleasure or joy in the body you know you are on the right lines. A voice that is easy on your body will be easy on the listeners ears and on your throat!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2.\u00a0Do the work first<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">If you want freedom in performance, you have to do more preparation!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">Barbara Houseman<\/div>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorDescription\">Director &amp; Voice Coach<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You can\u2019t expect to be good without doing practising! It\u2019s important to be okay with finding things hard at first. Be excited when it\u2019s difficult and keep working through it with joy and ease, then you\u2019ll improve. We often thing there are two muscles states but in fact it\u2019s more useful to think in terms of four: two which are bad for the voice &#8211; tense muscle and sluggish muscle;\u00a0\u00a0two which are good &#8211; engaged muscle and released muscle. Learning how to engage AND release muscles so you can use them again it very important. Working with a sense of confidence, cockiness or flintiness will help the muscles engage and remember to\u2026<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Be playful!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">Divide your time. Do your session, then your play.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">Barbara Houseman<\/div>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorDescription\">Director &amp; Voice Coach<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Allow your body to ease into your voice work, keep investigating how sounds feel in your body and take note. Being playful is just as important as immersing yourself in the technical work that you do, so try to combine a little time for each in your practice each day (rather than spending hours on technical work and then hours at play!). Research suggests that playfulness particularly aids accent work. Once you have mastered the technical basics of an accent, let yourself loose and go over the top if you want to \u2013 adopt the posture and the psychology of the accent. Think about the geography associated with the accent and how this can manifest physically. Swim in and own the accent, and have some fun with it!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Don\u2019t take notes personally<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">Learn to separate an interpretational difference from a note on your acting&#8230;\u00a0Your job as actors is to keep offering &#8211; the more you offer, the more a director can respond. You must get brave about offering and not be attached to the offers.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">Barbara Houseman<\/div>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorDescription\">Director &amp; Voice Coach<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It can be hard not to take the notes you are given in a casting personally, but it\u2019s important to remember that it\u2019s not about you being \u201cbad\u201d. There are lots of reasons why people don\u2019t get cast \u2013 many are very hard to predict, and have nothing to do with your abilities. Be generous, offer what you can and you will get something back.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Silence your internal critic \u2013 it doesn\u2019t help!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">Don&#8217;t think there are people out there not doing the work, and don&#8217;t think you should be good without doing anything. You are allowed to be bad before you&#8217;re good, you know!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">Barbara Houseman<\/div>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorDescription\">Director &amp; Voice Coach<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s important to learn to dismiss the internal critic as you work \u2013 it will only hold you back! Letting go of this critic and learning to trust in the work that you\u2019re doing is essential. If you notice any behaviour change in your voice during an audition, or performance, know that it comes as a result of change in what you are thinking.\u00a0Ask yourself\u00a0\u00a0\u2018What story am I really telling myself about the audition or performance when my voice behaves in a way I don\u2019t want?\u2019\u00a0\u00a0If you are telling yourself that the situation is one where you could be judged, where you could fail, that will send the body into protection, and even panic, mode, the body will tense up and you voice will be compromised. So you need to tell yourself a different story that doesn\u2019t make you feel under threat!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>6. At some point, you have to let go<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">You have to find the reframe that works for you&#8230; your intention can be to make [an audition]\u00a0a comfortable place for everyone&#8230; If it\u00a0is just about you making it a pleasant space for everyone, that can work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">Barbara Houseman<\/div>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorDescription\">Director &amp; Voice Coach<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve done the work you have to just let go and trust that you can do it. It\u2019s rather like jumping out of a plane you just have to trust that your parachute is there!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">At some point you just have to go, &#8216;And now I have to trust.&#8217;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">Barbara Houseman<\/div>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorDescription\">Director &amp; Voice Coach<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Read more about Barbara\u2019s work and her insights\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.barbarahouseman.com\/\">here<\/a>.
