The Work

Marcus' approach to vocal training is simple and direct.
The first step involves assessing how physical tension impacts the breath and voice.  Marcus will work with you to assess and identify your primary tensions and then provide simple and effective stretches to perform to release these them.  Once the physical tensions are addressed, you then begin working on growing breath capacity and control, to ensure that your voice is fully supported as you speak.  Then you begin exploring voice exercises, designed to build resonance, expand your vocal range, and sharpen articulation.  The final step is to then explore how these practices can be applied in your workplace, to ensure that your voice remains supported outside of your warm up.
Marcus works with clients One-On-One and with organisations and employers for group courses, both in person and online.  To enquire about training packages and prices, please contact Marcus through the Contact Form on this website.​

Heidi Gledhill, director of BANGING DENMARK

As an actor and first-time director, I wanted my actors to feel supported and safe vocally within the space and with their accents.

 

Marcus not only supported the actors by giving them an accessible warm up plan that united them as an ensemble and calmed them before each show but also supported me in my new experience.

 

I am incredibly grateful and felt that my production was in safe hands each time we worked together.

Caitlin Hill, director of PROOF

Working with Marcus was an absolute dream.

The 8-week course is comprehensive, clear and transformative, helping to understand one's voice from start to finish. The impact to my work life as an actor and lawyer, and in my personal life, has been truly incredible and I can't wait to continue doing this kind of work.
