Voice Coaching / Vocal Coach / Elocution Lessons Manchester

Alexander Technique

Trish Baillie is a trained voice coach working in the MANCHESTER area. She works freelance as a teacher of Voice and of the Alexander Technique. She trained in Voice Studies at The Central School of Speech and Drama in London where she came to value the relevance of the Alexander Technique to voice work and consequently trained as a teacher. 

Through the Alexander Technique she works to develop an awareness of how undue tensions interfere with the body’s alignment, breath support, breathing, vocal energy and presence. With appreciation and respect for where each person is in themselves she works to dissolve these layers of interference with the use of the voice. Her vocal coach techniques focus on how we use our body and voice and on finding freedom in that use to develop a voice that is rooted and well balanced. Her work is about discovering and building capacities for balanced strength, coordination and ease of movement – about finding a state of readiness where ‘the readiness is all’ [Hamlet] - about learning to speak with power, clarity and confidence - about the expression of the Self. Her elocution lessons can really help your clarity and confidence.
