Fitzmaurice Voicework™ is a somatic approach to voice that “explores the dynamics between body, breath, voice, the imagination, presence and language. Integrating physical experience and mindful focus, the work develops vibrant voices that carry intention and feeling without extra effort." (from http://fitzmauricevoice.com/about.htm) 

This somatic approach to voice uses Asana or 'dynamic efforts' to experience released breath, exploring voice and movement and the connection between psyche and soma.

“There are many practical benefits to improved vocal functioning. And, since breath and voice lie at the intersection of the material and the non-material, this work can also assist in creative, intellectual, and spiritual growth.” – from Breathing is Meaning, Catherine Fitzmaurice
