Being in voice with Flloyd Kennedy - pure voice, accents and voice acting

Flloyd’s knowledge and understanding of the voice is extraordinary. Her approach focuses on the uniqueness of each voice, its quality and potential. The relationship between voice and body is developed through an awareness of breath, body alignment, vocal exercises, and an understanding of how the voice works. Flloyd's processes are both challenging and revelatory. Since working with Flloyd I have a greater sense and appreciation of my voice, and how it can be developed and used to effect. The unexpected outcomes of working with Flloyd go much deeper – after a few sessions I noticed my breathing seemed easier, I felt more confident when speaking to an audience and, experienced a clarity in my voice I didn’t have before. Flloyds one to one sessions and group workshops are real, challenging, effective and fun. One of the best things I ever did.

I just want to say I have really enjoyed working with you again. I really enjoy and understand why a lot of what you teach and practice is so relevant. Thank you so much for giving me your time

Hey Flloyd, guess what? We're focussed! Thanks for all the advice throughout the week - it will be into practice for many years to come.

I am NOT sorry!!! I have gained sooooo much from you, I can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much for being absolutely bloody fantastic.

Thank God for Flloyd and her classes! Inspiring, fun and challenging. She's made acting make sense to me. I've rediscovered my playful spirit, curiosity and passion for theatre and gained confidence and grounding through the solid vocal and physical training she offers. I would recommend these classes to any actor

I have attended the Being in Voice classes over the past 12 months and have found them in valuable as an actor. The classes helped me to be more aware of my body, voice and breath on a number of the archetype and working with the archetypes, has given me the opportunity to be more flexible as an actor. It gave me the tools to explore characters, and opened me up to a more exploratory process. It gave me the opportunity to open up to more choices

I would like to thank you for your guidance along the way and incredible support. I am very proud to have made it the final rounds and am very happy with my accomplishment as a young aspiring actor. I thank you for all the support. I really appreciate your teaching

Thanks to Flloyd I came to the auditions for NIDA, QUT and VCA feeling confident and well prepared, and was accepted into the 3 year acting course at the VCA school of drama. After 3 years of training with some of Australia's best acting and voice teachers, I can now fully appreciate Flloyd's range and depth of experience and skill. I credit her with giving me my foundation of experience and understanding of the actors instrument – the fully engaged, spontaneous, imaginatively embodied voice.

“It is my pleasure to highly recommend you as a speech trainer and accent therapist. Coming from a German-speaking background and not having a particularly strong voice I realised the necessity to engage someone with the necessary skills for me to overcome these hurdles. I am very glad that it was you who was recommended to me. Since taking lessons with you, others comment on my significant improvements. What I very much like about your style of teaching is your enthusiasm and the rare

Patient, encouraging and a highly effective teacher with great experience and knowledge. I can't recommend her enough. After a couple of sessions and the daily ritual of Flloyd's vocal exercises, I noticed changes. I found I could get through public speaking without freezing and without life and death panic. Incredibly I have found my voice, or rather found a confidence to be in voice. All thanks to Flloyd!
