The Mindful Voice Teacher Podcast

Tune in for my conversation with Rebecca Soelberg - acting coach, vocal coach, professional choral singer, and teacher of the Emoverity method: an acting curriculum that teaches performers how to access emotions physiologically rather than relying on memory recall. We talk all about why using our own memories to create emotional authenticity on stage can be damaging to the mental and emotional health of performers. We go into detail about how we can bring more awareness to how emotions feel in the body to still create them while acting, and also how to get out of that emotional state. These are skills that are not only valuable for performers but for anyone that feels reactive to and out-of-touch with their emotions.
