Vocal Freedom Episode 17 - Sarah Stephenson

My guest this week is Sarah Stephenson, a highly experienced vocal coach, teacher, accompanist and sound healer.    A fascinating journey of a musician who has found a deeper healing power within sound itself - using sound as a healing tool.  Learn how the sound we make, our vibrations, our energy, how increasing our awareness of our sound, can help bring us into alignment, to be present in the here and now. 

We really are fascinating human beings!  It is worth your time to tune in, especially now,  in our modern times, which are so uncertain for many, with covid-19 having had such a global impact on the human race, now more than ever, we could all start with tuning in and paying attention to how we can use our voices for good.

Two quotes from this episode: 

(Sarah on - how we can help ourselves with our voices)

“..express how you are feeling…start the day by (asking) how am I feeling? I am just going to key into it…and just start doing some sounding.  You may feel a bit silly to begin with but then just express how you’re feeling and then come back, do a bit of humming, simple toning, little vowel practices.   See how that kind of feels in the nervous system, in the body, how that calms everything down”

(Sarah on - the voice)

“Wow…what an incredible instrument, what an incredible machine, what an incredible form of expression…it’s the most human part of who we are.”

Five minutes in we briefly reference the Fibonacci sequence.  This is so worth a look! Amazing Resonance Experiment!

For favourite voices question,  Sarah chooses the delicious vocal of Gregory Porter.  The song she mentions - “I wonder who my daddy is” performed at the Royal Albert hall can be viewed here,  Do let us know on our facebook page what you think of the performance!
