NOW HERE’S THE THING

July 2017

Hello, and welcome to my personal website. This is where I give myself permission to ramble on about life, the universe and everything. There are blog posts, and podcasts, depending on whether I feel like writing or talking. Topics mostly revolve and devolve around theatre, voice training, and family matters, but I also occasionally rant… Continue reading NOW HERE’S THE THING

Look Back to Move Ahead

I know you shouldn’t laugh at your own jokes, but this – my first ever Philosophy Essay, submitted on 27th April, 1999 – still cracks me up. The assignment was to respond to The Lier’s Paradox by arguing for one of four possibilities (it’s true, it’s false, it’s neither true nor false, it’s both true… Continue reading Look Back to Move Ahead

Time IS the Essence

“Time is of the essence” What on earth does that mean? I know we usually use the phrase to get someone else to hurry up. “Time is in short supply”? Crikey! That is for sure. [I feel the need for an emoticon. Facebook, what have you done to me?] So I just felt inspired to… Continue reading Time IS the Essence

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
