Areas of Research

Gender - Affirming Voice work
Working with the transgender community to guide individuals to a better understanding of how the voice works and how to have greater access to the natural two to four octave range all human beings are born with. Using the vocal practices to train the speaking voice of the actor, I apply the theories and techniques for the stage and adapt them for the needs and specific requirements for people wanting to find either a more feminine or masculine quality to their voices.
Acting Theory in a contemporary context
On-going research into contemporary methods and theories of acting for instruction in the craft that is relevant to what is happening on contemporary stages, both locally and internationally.
