I emphasise ease and freedom of the throat and larynx (voice-box) in my technique, plus sensible and clear breathing. I use lots of simple and effective freeing-up exercises to achieve this, plus easy songs and chants to develop the voice into more resonance naturally and with no strain. I work with all levels, from absolute beginners to professionals, and this approach works with everyone.
