This course is a fast-paced kick start to incorporate mVm into your acting. We will develop your awareness of self and sound, beginning with the core mVm concept of Active Breath.
We will move through foundational exercises to release muscle tension, develop flexibility in the voice, increase awareness of the breath, and apply all of this in real time.
You will practice these new skills under increasing levels of complexity, which will encourage access to new, more efficient vocal habits under performance conditions—skills you can start using right away.

This course is for anyone who wants to explore the core mVm concept of Active Breath and its effect on their voices, their habits, and the way they are perceived in the world.

Our exercises will help you build new, more efficient vocal habits, and your newfound awareness of breath will help you access these habits when you really need them!
