Voice, Rehabilitation & Healing

In this Soulfull Sound conversation I speak with the fabulous Lucinda Allen who is a proficient and successful Voice & Singing Coach who works in both the Creative and Corporate sectors. Lucinda also leads the Vocal team at ICMP London in her post as Teaching Fellow in Vocals. 

In this episode Lucinda shares her take on healing and rehabilitation in the voice world and how she works holistically with clients. 

A lot of her work is about being the bridge for her clients to help them manoeuvre between their challenges and the creative work they do out in the world.

She speaks about honouring the authentic and primal sounds we make as a starting point for technique, expression and adding creative elements to one’s voice. She expresses primal sounds as a safe, sustainable and repeatable space where authenticity can be explored.
