The Resonance Method
THE RESONANCE METHOD
Somatic regulation, voice, and movement, integrated.
THE WHAT OF IT
The Resonance Method™ is my own approach: an invitation for artists to inhabit the full expression of their voice and body. Drawing on three decades of training and teaching, it weaves somatic nervous system regulation, voice, and movement into one practice. It also draws on tools from Somatic Experiencing®, Brainspotting®, and Integrative Hypnosis, adapted for creative rather than therapeutic purposes, supporting preparation, character work, and the emotional and physical life a role demands.
THE WHY OF IT
A painter’s first lesson is to gesso the canvas. Gesso provides a foundation on which to create. You might say the canvas is already a base, but it isn’t their base. What’s beautiful about taking ownership of the canvas is that no one can see it, yet because it’s there, the painter can work confidently with a full range of colors, without risk of them bleeding, fading, or distorting the art.
I developed this method for artists who wish to take ownership of their body, voice, and nervous system, readying them to work with intention and skill. Most importantly, it builds agency: a deep, fluid listening to the body that serves the artist at every stage of their career.
THE HOW OF IT
1. Regulate: Conscious Arrival
We begin with somatic regulation, building the capacity to stay present with your vulnerability while stabilizing your rooted strength. This gives you access to the full range of your humanity, so you may lend that humanity to your art.
2. Move: Unwinding
Next, we continue the dialogue with the body by deepening our attention and adding movement. Through the unwinding practice, we gently release long-held stress and tension that has been masking the full expression of your instrument. From this neutral place, we can step into a new state of being or begin the transformation into character.
3. Resonate: Dropping Into the Voice
We finish by recognizing that the voice is an extension of the body. By following the energy of the voice, we give it somewhere to land. The embodied voice is unapologetic, generous, and true.
