ABSTRACT

The Creative Voice Singing is all about totally forgetting oneself, which seems an odd thing to say at this stage. Yet consider any truly creative activity: painting a picture, preparing a good meal, designing a boat, planning a festival, or whatever; the action takes you out of yourself, makes you 'forget' yourself, puts your focus on to something else. So it is with the creative voice in the activity of singing. It means that you are responsive to the present moment, with no other aim than to be fully and sensitively alive and 'with the music' of the moment. This is something that you can learn to experience through exploring and discovering the voice alone.
