About the Five-Day Fitzmaurice Voicework® Intensive
An in-depth, immersive experience with Fitzmaurice Voicework® — a somatic approach to freeing the voice through the body. Open to performers, voice practitioners, educators, and anyone who wants to deepen their relationship to their own voice.
What you'll experience
Five days. One integrated journey.
Each day of the intensive builds on the last, guiding you through the core elements of Fitzmaurice Voicework in a sequence refined over decades. You leave with a felt, embodied understanding — not just concepts, but a changed relationship to your voice.

Day 2
Restructuring
Rebuild breath support and vocal connection from the ground up
Day 3

Bring language alive through a newly freed instrument

Who it's for
What you'll take away
Whether you're new to Fitzmaurice Voicework or returning to deepen your practice, five days gives you the time and space for real change.
Somatic freedom
Learn to release the patterns of holding that limit your vocal expression — through tremoring and body-centered practice.
A supported, connected voice
Develop the breath support and resonance that let your voice carry intention without effort or strain.
Multiple perspectives
Work with a Core Teacher and specialist teachers each day — a hallmark of the Fitzmaurice approach that enriches learning.
Global community
Connect with a worldwide network of FV teachers and practitioners who are committed to this work.
How we teach
Collaborative by design
FVI intensives are always led by more than one teacher. A Core Teacher is present throughout all five days; specialist teachers bring their expertise to each subject area. This means you're never given one person's single "answer" — you're offered multiple voices, multiple approaches, and a living model of how practitioners can hold this work differently and still deeply.
"What moves the work forward is individual teachers bringing their own takes on the work to as many students as possible."
