Profile
Olivia’s specialty in voice derives from a movement and theatre background. She holds an MA in Voice from Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and a Postgraduate Degree in Voice from York University Toronto, where she taught Voice, Speech and Acting Shakespeare in the Theatre Department.
Olivia worked for many years with the faculty at Canada’s National Voice Intensive where in depth study of movement and voice focused into performance of Shakespeare. This underpins many of the processes she now works with in helping people open and use their voice.
