Re: Discovering Your Voice with Ben Mellor & Ian McMillan
Mon 4 Sep 2017 to Sat 9 Sep 2017
Your voice is as unique to you as your face, your fingerprints. So why waste time trying to sound like anybody else?

Explore the connection between your writing, speaking, perhaps even your singing voice in this week-long course delivered by award-winning writer and performer, Ben Mellor.

Using a range of writing, vocal and physical exercises you will spend time identifying the individual brilliance of your voice – your use of language, dialect, accent, tone, timbre, rhythm and style.

Using examples of unique voices in writing and performance as a stimulus, we will work with existing texts and create new pieces of poetry and spoken word – aiming to compose not on the page, as Ferlinghetti said, but on the tongue.

Suitable for those finding their voice for the first time, and equally for those who feel they’ve misplaced theirs and need a rummage down the back of the sofa.
