I'll have a talk to my 'alexander' tutor and see if she knows of any good tutors in your area (she has studied in america so may know of some,) and if so I will let you know, but for the mean time try this website......

www.alexandertechnique.com

It's one of the websites on our reccomended reading list at uni and seems to be pretty comprehensive.
Let me know how you get on!!

I haven't tried it, SJ, but I've heard of it, and you're not the first person to recommend it. Any suggestion how I'd go about checking it out?

Hi Jonathan
Glad Pirates seemed to go well, shame I won't be seeing you with that beard! ;)
Forgive me if I have this wrong, but you seem to be saying that you have had trouble connecting your vocal training with your movement/action on stage - not being able to give both their best when you have to sing and act. I was wondering if you have ever tried the 'Alexander Tenique'?
I've just started 'Alexander' training at uni and it's fantastic! It's not actually vocal or acting training (not really sure what it is!) but it gives you much better posture and stage focus and teaches you to release those muscles that usually tense up when on stage and makes the voice wonderfully resonant!!
It's not everybodys thing though but I can reccomend giving it a try if you get an opertunity!
Anyhows enough of my ramblings!!
See you in Buxton, and congrats again for getting Robin!! x
