About Voice Movement Therapy (VMT)

The human voice reflects both physical and psychic states. It is the only instrument wherein player and played upon are the same and therefore can only achieve full expression when firmly grounded in the body. VMT, initially conceived and developed by Englishman Paul Newham, is a multi-dimensional expressive therapy of the voice and is based primarily on the pioneering work of:

VMT work begins, not with the spoken word, its cognitive content or articulation, but with the affective aspects of voiced sound and combines a basic knowledge of vocal acoustics and the anatomy and physiology of the vocal system, as influenced by events in the body, with movement and massage, imagery and enactment, creative and therapeutic process. It is, in essence, an exploration of the self and one’s ability to communicate, non-verbally as well as verbally, through the voice.

It is useful for those for whom vocal expression is blocked, limited or otherwise difficult as a result of neurological or physical impediments and/or emotional distress, as well as those who seek further personal or professional empowerment through the voice.
