of flood and fire

The dreadful floods that have inundated large swathes of eastern Australia lately, including much of my present hometown of Brisbane, have not troubled or inconvenienced me personally at a physical level. I am staying in one of the outer suburbs, not too close to the river and not particularly low lying, so the massive amounts… Continue reading of flood and fire

A Strange Quietus

I’m home, I’ve unpacked, and I’m trying to figure out how I feel, IF I feel, what I feel and why. I remember this feeling – I have felt it before, once. It was a similar occasion, many years ago, when I had given a performance after some years of ‘resting’. It is a kind… Continue reading A Strange Quietus

A new career?

I mentioned in my last post that I had provided a voice-over for a colleague in Dunedin. His name is Ian Chapman, and he is a musician, writer, lecturer and all round talented person with a spectacular Alter Ego called Dr Glam. Check out his website www.drglam.co.nz, and while there, you can click on the… Continue reading A new career?

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
