Workshop Overview
Introduction to Miller Voice Method: a breath and voice-centered acting technique
“Having studied many different voice techniques, mVm is the first one to give me the tools to measurably support my breath and my voice, both literally and figuratively. It’s helped me approach acting and speaking with ease and breath instead of tension and muscularity. I’ve gained confidence, technique, and presence as an mVm practitioner. So thankful for the skills I’ve gained as an actor, a speaker, and voice educator!” - Deanna Ott, Actor, Voice Coach
This introduction workshop is perfect for actors who are curious to learn and embody the mVm Miller Voice Method®, a breath and voice-centered acting technique that facilitates a more present, charismatic, responsive, flexible, and resilient physical instrument.
In this workshop, Scott and Kristi will guide actors through an embodiment of the bedrock of mVm, the Active Breath. Through a series of physical exercises, actors will discover how to integrate the Active Breath with text, diagnose breath habits that may be sabotaging preparation and performance work, and discover the flow that brings audiences into a state of suspense.
Explore how to use breath as a tool for impulsive, expressive, spontaneous and present acting!
