EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR ME? I CAN’T REALLY SING, YOU KNOW…
This is the 7th edition of The Liberated Voice workshop in Bucharest, where 207 people gathered around this experience until now. Apart from Romania, the workshop took place in more then 10 countries: Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Belgium, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Portugal, Turkey, India, South Korea and China.

OK, SO WHAT WILL THE WORKSHOP BE LIKE?
“The Liberated Voice” is a unique method developed by Swedish facilitator Kefas Berlin in decades of work with hundreds of people as a facilitator of voice workshops, choir leader, acting teacher and in his therapeutic 1 on 1 sessions.
Whether you use your voice to relate with people, your partners, colleagues, friends and loved ones, or you constantly rely on your voice in your work, a lively partnership with it will enrich your life.
The voice is your life-long companion. It stays with you your entire life. In this way, it can be a trustful partner, a playmate, or an unexplored part of yourself. This is the aim of the workshop: to help you befriend with your voice.
And for it to happen – as with all changes in life – it will get you out of your comfort zone, yet in a gentle way, within a journey about exploration, expression and self acceptance.
A PRACTICAL SIDE
The focus of the workshop is to get you started, help you set your voice free and develop a non-judgemental relationship regarding the way you sound. So be aware that this is an experiential workshop. It’s learning by doing. Therefore, you take part in playful, interactive activities with your peers in movement and voice exercises.
With the help of this workshop you will be able to:
- Experience how the melodic voice works for you, in your own unique way;
- Adopt a better posture for voicing;
- Warm up your throat and voice;
- Breathe in a way that supports your voice;
- Avoid throat pain, when using your voice;
- Relax about how you sound;
- Experience pleasure in using your voice;
- Discover how giving voice can be beautiful, powerful and creative.
A SPIRITUAL SIDE
Using the melodic voice is a wonderful way of enjoying ourselves. The voice is an instrument that we can play with anytime we want. It’s always here, with us, in our chest.
This way, the voice makes it easier for us to be present in the body and in the moment – it grows the awareness and the focus. Voicing is a way of being here and now. It’s a way of meditating.
Also, through the use of your voice, you can bring more awareness and balance in your life. By using (and listening to) your voice you will be able to listen to yourself and tune in with your feelings, emotions and with your body.
A transformation of your being always comes as a beautiful consequence of your voice being liberated. There is an undeniable link between the two, as you are one with your voice.
Join in and discover your empowered personal voice that will become your new and beloved playmate!

This session is more of a personal endeavour. The voice is something we are born with and it is embedded deep inside ourself. It’s both a communication tool and a healing tool.
The vibration of your tone can set in motion different layers of your being where emotions like grief, sadness, pain and even joy, and energies that you pick up from the world in your day-to-day life might get stuck. Learn to use the vibration of your voice to relax and eliminate internal blockages and tensions.
