The Expressive Actor: Integrated Voice Movement & Acting Training
January 2-4, 2008
New York, New York
In this innovative and practical approach to training the “total actor,” the traditionally disparate disciplines of acting, movement and voice are synthesized in a unified method of training. The Lugering Method explores the integrated manner in which mental and emotional content are expressed through the body and voice. The goal is an expressive actor capable of a vivid, powerful and artful expression of thought and feeling that is spectacularly human and rarely demonstrated in daily living. The first teacher training workshop in the Lugering Method is being planned for the Summer of 2009.

Winter Intensive in NYC ! for Actors, Singers, Dancers, Teachers, and other Voice Professionals JOAN MELTON, PhD, ADVS
9th - 11th January, 2009 11:00 AM - 5:30 PM,
New Dance Group
305 W 38th Street,
NYC 10018
Too often, performers are conditioned to think they have a "speaking voice" and a "singing voice." Yet, in fact, the voice we use to speak, laugh, cry, shout, scream, yawn, and call out, is the same voice we use to sing!
Joan Melton is a pioneer in the integration of singing techniques and voice training for the actor. Her work brings together the contrasting worlds of singing and acting training in an approach that is non-threatening, physically energizing, vocally freeing, and infinitely practical. You will experience a greater sense of ease and confidence, and gain a clearer understanding of what it means to have a technique you can trust.
This three-day workshop is divided into six sessions:
Session I focuses on the foundational aspects of technique: alignment, breathing, range, resonance, articulation and connection, as outlined in ONE VOICE (Heinemann 2003).
Session II introduces cutting edge information and experiential work connecting the technical trainings of actors, singers and dancers .
Session III concentrates on the voice/movement relationship, integrating yoga, Pilates and dance to explore the whole physical/vocal instrument.
Session IV focuses on phrasing for speaking and singing, and includes opportunities for individual and ensemble performance.
Session V synthesizes earlier work, as it introduces specific techniques for laughing, crying, shouting, screaming, and other extended voice use.
Session VI links all the elements of vocal production in the coaching of songs, monologues, scenes, and/or other performance material. Please wear clothing that will allow you to move easily, and have sheet music available for songs that require accompaniment.
