Voice for Actors with Matt Furlani

“Impulse moves the breath and the breath moves you.”

This voice course is designed to help actors reconnect with the natural power of their voice by exploring the relationship between body, breath, intention and impulse. Rather than learning to “push” or manufacture a performance, students learn to remove the obstacles that prevent authentic expression.

Your voice is your most powerful instrument as an actor. Yet many performers unknowingly carry physical tension, breathing habits and vocal patterns that limit their ability to communicate with freedom, presence and truth.

At the heart of Matt Furlani’s teaching is the belief that the voice already knows what to do. Through a process of releasing tension, unlocking the imagination and reconnecting with the breath, students learn to trust the body’s natural capacity for communication and expression. Matt’s work encourages actors to do less rather than more, allowing impulse to move the breath and the breath to move them. As students reclaim their voice and cultivate a stronger connection to intention, breath and presence, they discover performances that feel more spontaneous, authentic and deeply connected to the moment.

What to Expect throughout the course

• Free your breath and discover greater ease in performance
• Reclaim your natural voice and vocal power
• Develop deeper, more present performances through a stronger connection to intention, breath and voice
• Build confidence, clarity and authenticity in communication
• Unlock greater vocal freedom, resonance and range
• Learn practical tools that can be applied directly to scene work and text

Students will develop a deeper understanding of speaking as a profoundly physical act, learning to communicate rather than project, reveal rather than describe, and allow rather than push.
This course encourages courage, discipline, curiosity and a beginner’s mind, providing actors with practical tools they can continue to use throughout their training and professional careers.
Whether you’re new to voice training or looking to deepen your existing practice, this course will help you unlock a freer, more connected and expressive voice, creating performances that are truthful, alive and deeply engaging.
