Ethical, temperate, grounded, embodied, human authenticity is the new real.

your body is lying, your voice is hiding, and you think the problem is you don't know technique. wrong diagnosis. here are the actual stages -- Instrumental Work - work to free up your body, voice and mind from the blocks and inhibitions years or decades of living life have unconsciously led to. a blocked world. you develop your inner awareness of who you are, and you develop your ability to consciously express that through -- here is the key in an AI augmented world -- REAL embodied communication. Craft Work - technique for actors (that applies to life). how to read a script for obligations. how to rehearse. how to build a character. how to work under pressure. scene study. audition prep. the mechanics you need to actually do the job. Business Work - for professionals who need their voice to lead. how to make offers. how to build a media system. how to show up on camera. political candidates, executives, anyone whose voice carries consequence. and Martha you nailed it - hardware/software. i can teach you how the instrument works. but the fuel has to come from somewhere real. that's why the instrumental work comes first. can't fake what isn't there. FUN FACT -- the work requires the student to sit with who they are on the deepest levels. this is healing, liberating. and FUN...except for psychos.
