Today I’m excited to share a “vocal clinic” we did as part of The Rehearsal Room with Fitzmaurice Voicework teacher, Scott Ferrara!
This is something very new to me, so I was excited to learn directly from a teacher, and as you hear, this work can be very different (and still quite beneficial) to the “traditional” voice warm-ups you may know. There are also many personal applications to this voicework beyond acting—something you can carry into many areas of your life!
Really thrilled Scott can walk us through what this is—he takes me through an exercise and we even answer some live questions. Scott joined us for The Rehearsal Room, and has been a fantastic addition to the team!

Scott sounds a lot as though he is grounded in mindful meditation. The presence aspect is basic to many variants of meditation, I think — and now to acting. Yea!
Definitely agree (as a meditator myself)! Thanks for checking out the show, Joan!
