Excerpt from a spoken discussion about a book that emphasizes grounding and developing vocal and physical communication. The speaker frames the body as the instrument and the voice as the music, arguing that bodily stresses and habits shape vocal expression.
So this is the root of awareness, tools to ground and grow vocal and physical communication, which is very important that we communicate in all the ways. And that's really the crux of the book. It develops from the core of what the body is, what the voice is, how the two things come together, and how one of the things I repeat numerous times in the book is that the body is the instrument, the voice is the music. Everything that the instrument goes through, all those dents, dings, stress, trauma habits, holdings show up in the voice. You're essentially just a giant accordion, and whatever buttons are pressed are going to affect that sound.
