Madeline Abel-Kerns is a professional opera singer and a voice coach who teaches students how to find their voice. She uses somatic methods and vocal techniques that allow students to better connect to their bodies. This creates a deeper connection to their voice, an instrument which Madeline believes we don’t access enough.
I was her student for some time with the goal of connecting to my breath and not speaking from my throat, which is called “vocal fry”. She’s currently a voice teacher at Southern Oregon University, but also teaches via Skype and Zoom.
Topics we cover in this episode:
- Benefits of breathing correctly, and how it has helped me in my personal and professional life
- Why do women tend to hold our breaths more?
- How managing your breath affects your presentation skills
- How breathing correctly can assist with physical ailments
- Margaret Thatcher’s voice transformation with the help of her voice coach
- Body and breath aerobic training
- Bartenieff Fundamentals and other somatic techniques
