I'm Flloyd Kennedy, mother of Iain and Roderick, grandmother of Owen and Natalie, daughter of Ina Hofmaster and sister of Wendy Judd. At the moment, I am based in Brisbane, Australia, where I work as a freelance voice and acting coach and occasionally perform with independent film and theatre companies. As well, I am in the process of writing up my PhD at the University of Queensland, my topic being "Theory of the Voice in Performance"

This is my personal blog, designed to share news and images with my friends and family only.

Now, please tell me something about yourself? What is new with you, and your nearest and dearest? When are you coming to Brisbane/Australia to visit us?

Hi there, here is the latest video of Master Owen Neil Kennedy. He and I were playing with the WebCam, while Owen’s Fridge DJ provided the background music, and we sang along.(Go to the bottom of the page to find the player, if PodPress doesn’t work.)

Voice, Accent and Acting Coach

I have been assisting actors, teachers, singers, consultants, public speakers and executives to express themselves with clarity and confidence for many years. Let me design a program to suit your budget and your schedule. Your voice is the sound of you - your thoughts, dreams, desires and fears. You can learn how to share your ideas and your passions by speaking clearly, articulately and generously. Your voice operates by means of muscles. You can train those muscles to be fitter, more flexible, just as you would train any set of muscles at the gym. www.beinginvoice.com

Audience response to the New York production of "Yes! Because..." at the United Solo Theatre Festival, Theatre Row, 410 @ 42nd St, New York NY: “Ukelele at the ready, June Bloom calls forth beautifully delivered Shakespearean sonnets as she transports her suitcase and her niggling mummy issues across the stages of life. Rap on, Dame June!” Doug Honorof – Voice Coach, NYC “Flloyd Kennedy’s Yes, Because… is mesmerising, especially as it’s laced with Shakespeare Sonnets! The vocal pitch range she uses in the course of the show sets a brilliant example for young students who tend to stay within a very small compass.” Dr. Joan Melton, Musical Theatre Faculty, Manhattan School of Music, NYC (author of One Voice, Singing in Musical Theatre, and Dancing with Voice) “For an evening of laughter, whimsy and wit don’t miss “Yes, Because…”, Flloyd Kennedy’s solo show. You’ll spend an hour with a woman who will charm and touch you, make you giggle and guffaw, and do it while offering a refreshing, gently eccentric exploration of some Shakespeare sonnets. She sings and plays the ukulele, ponders life and family and British Pantomime – and every moment is delightfully, deliciously entertaining. I loved it!” Paula Hoza
