    About Fitzmaurice Voice Work and the spring class offering: The first part of the work (de-structuring) is focused on the release of habitual tension in the breath and in the body. Self-exploration and finding your true presence are often a result. The second part (re-structuring )is focused on utilizing the freedom you find to create an open, clear and focused channel of energy in which to express your memorized text. The desired result is not to attain a "proper sound" but to have a free and spontaneous voice willing to express true thought. Actors often find a new sense of confidence and empowerment in the ability to stay open & present, and direct & clear at the same time.

    Andrea’s voice students ARE WORKING and FINDING THEIR OWN VOICE IN THIS INDUSTRY:
    1) BOOKING Off-Broadway musicals,
    2) BOOKING NATIONAL COMMERCIALS
    3) SUCCESSFULLY FUNDRAISING FOR THEIR OWN FILM PROJECTS!

    What current students are saying about the class:

    "I feel like I'm not afraid of my voice anymore. I like speaking up, I like being heard, I like walking into a room and introducing myself with pride." –FC

    "I've really appreciated your enthusiasm and your care in working with each of us. It's been a safe and comfortable environment in the room and it's been easy to feel free and open to do the work." -LL

    "Thanks again for having these classes and at this affordable price. It's exactly what I needed. I had to long of a break from theatre school where I was training almost 7 days a week for a year. From going fully active like that to nothing was @$#%& of me and you really picked me up by inviting me to your fantastic group and I'm so grateful for that." -JM
