Teaching Voice from the Inside Out
Interactive workshops that help singers and speakers understand how the voice actually works — so they can use it with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.
I offer educational workshops for groups, organizations, and events. Whether you're looking for a featured session at your conference, a retreat experience for your choir, or a structured series for your team, I bring the same approach: clear frameworks, hands-on exploration, and practical understanding that participants carry forward.
Bring Me to Your EventThe AVF Workshop Series
This is my signature educational offering — a live, in-person workshop series grounded in the Adaptive Voice Framework (AVF).
The series begins with a shared session for all participants, then continues in two focused paths: one for singers, one for speakers. Each path includes three workshops total (including the shared first session), with each session lasting two hours.
What participants experience:
- A clear, system-level understanding of how the voice works
- Hands-on exploration of the Five Pillars and Eight Dials
- Practical awareness they can apply immediately
- Language for describing and developing their own voice
- Confidence in using their voice across varied contexts
The series is designed with a low floor and high ceiling — accessible to beginners while remaining valuable for experienced singers and speakers.
Every participant receives a copy of AVF: The Adaptive Voice Framework as part of the experience. The book serves as a shared reference during workshops and a resource for continued learning afterward.
For speakers: The speaking path integrates the PASS Profile — my proprietary communication assessment that maps how each participant naturally communicates. This adds personalized insight and language that supports intentional, authentic speaking.
Bring the Series to Your Organization
The AVF Workshop Series can be delivered as a private experience for your group, retreat, or event. I'll work with you to adapt the format to your needs while maintaining the core learning arc.
