Mind-Body-Voice
Laura Long’s unique methodology
Our voices are a representation and expression of all that we are: physically, emotionally, intellectually and psychologically. This means embracing the whole of us when we are singing, particularly if we want to express ourselves in a meaningful and compelling way.
As a qualified Alexander Technique practitioner, Laura has evolved a highly effective mind-body approach: a powerful combining of voice and body work that helps singers establish an integrated ‘core’ confident, defined sense of self.
This leads to deeply authentic and incredibly captivating vocal and stage performances. See Laura’s article below on how Alexander benefits the singer.

“I’ve been having singing lessons with Laura for four years and can’t speak highly enough of her. Laura is a natural and intuitive teacher. With her gentle guidance I have learned to sing from a part of myself I wasn’t able to access before. She has the most phenomenal and sensitive ear. She is an expert on the voice and its relationship with the body. Through her thoughtful feedback and simple exercises I’ve found a more authentic voice, and a way of expressing myself that I will keep for the rest of my life. I feel very lucky to have found Laura”
