Together with Leeds People’s Theatre, Slung Low has a new series of workshops for adults (18+) which will focus on vocal confidence.
From the physical mechanics of speaking, aligning breath, body and voice to expressing yourself with authority, intention and clarity, over three sessions facilitated by our own Morven Macbeth we’ll explore ways to connect with your authentic voice.
We’re also offering two further workshops as part of this autumn programme, led by two brilliant guest artists, Marie Claire Breen and Rich Huxley which will focus more on discovering your singing voice and feeling empowered to explore the musicality which all human voices hold. And yes, we mean ALL!
You can sign up for as many of the workshops as you’d like, and please see the website for more details and to book. You’re able to pay what you decide after the workshop.
Please do share any access requirements that you have, and if there’s anything additionally which would be useful for us to know ahead of the workshop, so that we can best support you during your time with us.
Tuesday 27 October 6–8pm:
Back-to-Basics Part One: the breath, the body, the voice – where, why and how we make sound. With Slung Low Artistic Associate, actor and theatre maker Morven Macbeth.
Tuesday 3 November 6–8pm:
Back-to-Basics Part Two: the breath, the body, the voice – where, why and how we make sound, building on the previous session, into how we can effectively communicate with our voices. With Slung Low Artistic Associate, actor and theatre maker Morven Macbeth.

From Quiet to Confident: Discover Your Singing Voice. Have you ever been told “you can’t sing”? Or felt too nervous to sing in front of anyone else? maybe you only ever sing in the shower, or hum along to the radio? If you’ve ever wanted to discover what your singing voice can do, then join our workshop with Opera Singer and Vocal Coach Marie Claire Breen.
This workshop is designed with you and your voice at it’s heart, by exploring how breath, body and voice combine to unlock your unique sound. We will sing songs you know – and some you don’t! – to full you with self-assurance, curiosity and confidence to discover what your singing voice can do.
Tuesday 17 November 1–3pm and 6–8pm (again, the same session held at different times to give as many of you as possible the opportunity to come along on the day)
Finding YOUR Creative Voice
That feeling in your gut, that we’re not sure how to let out. That song in your heart that we want to let sing. Those words in our heads that we want to speak proud. This workshop with Rich Huxley of Leeds band Hope & Social will help anyone wanting to find their confidence to sing, speak, perform, collaborate and write in their own authentic voice.
Saturday 21 November 11am–1pm:
Feel The Fear And Say It Anyway! a workshop focused on speaking in front of other people. Still the No.1 thing a lot of folks fear the most! You’ll come away from this session with tools, tips and tricks to speak with confidence, whether that’s to be able to advocate for yourself with strength and clarity, to prepare for a job interview, or to speak in front of a group. With Slung Low Artistic Associate, actor and theatre maker Morven Macbeth.
