Welcome

Realvoice is an organisation that creates opportunities for people to explore the power and joy of the human voice; through song, creative expression, breath and the power of ‘authentic presence’.

Led by Anthony Johnston and Paloma Suarez, Realvoice is based in Bristol, UK and offers courses, workshops, coaching and longer events to individuals, corporations and organisations as well as schools, colleges and universities, on all matters to do with the singing and the voice.

Freeing your authentic sound - discovering your real voice

The voice; gateway to the soul and one of our most powerful and sublime means of communicating, can be an area of fear, regret and shame.

To work on the voice is to start a journey towards liberating who you really are, beyond limiting beliefs and limiting ideas of self image.  

To give voice to who you really are, is to fulfil a basic human need to communicate, to be heard and to be seen. And in that moment life is full, in that moment there is perfect presence, freedom and joy.

Why work on the voice?

People work on the voice for a myriad of reasons; for personal development and empowerment, for educational reasons, for technical improvement in the quality of the voice, to overcome personal assertion and confidence issues, and to release blocked emotions, to connect with something true and authentic and to express that ‘essence’ of what it is to be human, beyond description, beyond words.

The Ethos of Realvoice

At the core of this work is the idea of spaciousness; non-judgemental attention, out of which grows a trust and a freedom to explore and take risks. From the place of non-judgement you get to know how your voice actually is, not just how you would like it to sound. From the place of acceptance you can become familiar with its contours, its colours and tones and finally its subtleties, singing yourself out beyond limiting beliefs and barriers as to what you can express through the voice.
