Voice and Speech
with Ryan O'Shea
MY APPROACH
From shut down to showing up to shining.
If you're an actor or speaker who feels a deep longing for greater connection—to characters, to casting, to your audience—but you find that your ability to express yourself is limited by your capacity to feel authentic ease and enjoyment when you're in the spotlight, then I'm here to help.
My approach combines classical voice and speech training tools and more contemporary tools for regulating the nervous system to help you move from being shut down—feeling out of control or like you have to over-control in order to perform; to showing up—developing techniques and practices for greater acting and communication; to shining—integrating your voice and speaking skills so that you can let go and effortlessly express from your fullest, most authentic self.
"Working with Ryan, a magical place unfolds, a place of embodiment and ease, where learning happens organically and playfully. Ryan is grounded both in her extensive craft, from voice to accent, and a warm presence and openness to go with what the moment brings. Ryan brings a great sensitivity and enjoyment for nuance and complexity to the people she works with, reinforcing their qualities; and I would even call her a creative doula."
