Class Description
Designated Linklater Teacher Aram Monisoff will introduce you to concepts to free your natural voice with exercises that focus on:
- Relearning natural diaphragmatic breathing
- Finding freedom and fuller expression in your voice without strain
- Letting go of tension in your throat, jaw and tongue to aid in diction as well as emotional expression
These classes are hands on and interactive. Participants should dress comfortably and bring a bottle of water. Exercises and tools gained in this class can be used to relax and warm up before a show, audition, or presentation. In the last two sessions Aram will coach and give individual feedback on short pieces of text to help you apply the voice work in a practical setting.
About our Voice and Speech Program
Everyone’s voice journey is unique. Some grew up singing in choir while others were always first to raise their hands to give a class presentation. However, for many of us our voice can feel like it’s not able to fully express how we feel, whether it’s on a stage or in a staff meeting. Psychological and physical blocks around our voice can limit our potential. Our Voice and Speech Program is led by Designated Linklater Teacher Aram Monisoff who will help connect you with your natural voice. We don’t believe in a “correct” way to speak rather we’ll give you the tools to get acquainted with your breath, body, and resonators and effortlessly use your voice under the pressure of performance. These classes are open to performers and non-performers alike. We highly encourage everyone to experience the benefits of connecting with your voice!

Studio Cancellation In the event that class is canceled due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns), make-up classes will be scheduled as soon as it’s safe for our students and instructors to be together safely at the studio. In some cases classes may transfer to an online platform. If a student is unable to attend the rescheduled class due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns) that student will receive credit on their account for the value of missed classes. Attendance Policy We understand that things do come up so if you know you’re going to miss a class, please give your instructor as advance notice as possible. This will help them get you caught up and not throw off the rest of the group. Scheduling a make-up class is possible but not guaranteed. Students enrolled in our Meisner Acting Program can only advance to the next level if they’ve attended at least 6 of their 8 sessions. If a student misses more than 2 sessions, they will need to retake the level in order to advance in the program. |
