The Inhabited Voice: Reclaim Your Natural Voice

With De Rogers

This course is designed to help you understand how your voice functions as a whole-body system, rather than something to control or fix. You’ll learn to recognise the physical, emotional, and nervous system patterns that influence your voice, and how to support it with greater ease and awareness. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to: * understand what has been shaping and conditioning your voice * recognise how breath, body tension, and nervous system state affect sound * create more physical and internal space for your voice to emerge * identify early signs of vocal fatigue and respond with support rather than force * work with natural rhythms and variation in your voice * relate to your voice with more trust, ease, and presence Students can expect: * Clear, accessible teaching without technical or medical jargon * Short, guided awareness practices included in each lesson * An educational approach focused on understanding and self-observation * Practical insights you can apply straight away in everyday life * A calm, grounded learning environment with no pressure to perform This course doesn’t require any prior voice training and is suitable for beginners, as well as those with experience who want a more embodied and sustainable relationship with their voice.

Lesson 1

The Voice Distortion Field: Understanding What’s Been Holding Your Voice Back

This lesson introduces the concept of the Voice Distortion Field; the patterns of conditioning, nervous system responses, and learned behaviours that shape how the voice is used. You’ll explore why vocal tension, inhibition, or inconsistency are often adaptive responses rather than technical problems. Through clear explanation and gentle awareness, this lesson lays the foundation for understanding your voice with more clarity, safety, and self-trust.

Lesson 2

How The Voice Actually Functions

This lesson explains how the voice functions as a coordinated system involving breath, the vocal folds, resonance, and the nervous system. You’ll learn why effort and control often lead to strain, and how supporting the system allows sound to emerge more naturally. This lesson provides a clear, practical framework for understanding vocal function with greater ease and accuracy.

Lesson 3

Vocal Self-Residency: Making Your Voice Feel at Home

This lesson explores how physical, emotional, and internal space supports healthy vocal expression. You’ll learn how habitual tension and holding patterns limit resonance, and how softening these patterns allows the voice to feel more grounded and available. Through simple awareness practices, this lesson introduces vocal self-residency as the foundation for sustainable and embodied voice use.

Reading Your Body’s Vocal Warning Signs

This lesson focuses on recognising early signs of vocal fatigue and overload before they become more significant issues.

Lesson 5

Working With Your Body’s Natural Rhythms

This lesson explores how natural fluctuations in energy, breath, and nervous system state affect vocal capacity and expression.

This lesson encourages a more responsive and intelligent relationship with your voice.

As a 58 year old female who has been struggling with vocal changes for years, I would love an entire course devoted to post menopause strategies! This was wonderful. Thank you
