Description: This 3-hour Intro workshop will provide a small taste of Fitzmaurice Voicework®.
The Art of Awareness: An important component to the craft of acting is knowing yourself. Deeply. Fitzmaurice Voicework® will help you connect your brain with your heart to honor the information your body is giving you to follow through on any acting moment.
Fitzmaurice Voicework® is a whole-body approach to vocal training that helps you communicate both your meaning and your inner life with a free, flexible, potent voice. The work combines classical voice-training with adaptations of yoga, shiatsu, Reichian bodywork and other body-based/meditative practices. This work increases vocal health, presence, spontaneity, resonance, power, and emotional connection – the full range of humanity that can be expressed in the voice.
Fitzmaurice Voicework® is taught in the MFA acting programs at Yale and Harvard, as well as NYU Studios, the Moscow Art Theatre School, and many other institutions all over the world.

“Lori Triolo’s FitzMeisner class is, and will continue to be, one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in my training. I can say without exaggeration that she informed my work in connection and partnering tenfold in two short Meisner-based sessions. I have a new awareness of presence and hope to continue training with her to deepen that understanding.”
“This class is beneficial to the artist. To the individual who desires a tough road leading to challenge after challenge on the body, mind and soul. To the actor, the combination of Fitzmaurice and Meisner brings out a spontaneous and truthful self, which is required of us to become the artist. And Lori is the ideal and formidable force, with an acute awareness to guide you to YOUR highest potential. Thank you again. It truly has been an eye opening and momentous experience. ”

“I think the kind of voicework that Lori teaches encapsulates the heart and essence of acting. It’s not just about sound, or vocal exercises, but bringing your full body, your full voice, and your full humanity to your art. It’s about connection and communication—which is what we’re all trying to do as artists, whether on stage, on set, or in the audition room. And the Fitzmaurice work gave me tangible exercises and tools to bring into my practice immediately. As a teacher Lori is passionate, driven, caring, insightful and inspiring. And most importantly, she is about the work. All of the exercises and exploration are done in the context of bringing ourselves more fully and more professionally to the work of acting. I highly recommend her classes.”
“I came into the workshop seeking freedom from my performance anxiety, which I felt was getting in the way of my personal and professional life. I left with incredible clarity. When I began the workshop my feelings and anxiety felt like blocks, but after my intro to Fitzmaurice with Lori, I reached a place where my emotions were tools rather than sources of anxiety. It was so helpful for me, on both an artistic and personal level, to discover that I can help unblock emotional traumas of my past, which I assumed were cerebral, through a physical release of my tensions. ”
The combination of Fitzmaurice Voicework® and the Meisner Technique will help you connect your brain with your heart to honour the information your body is giving you to follow through on any acting moment.

“Thank you for creating a safe, open, warm space. Thank you for offering the work so very generously. Thank you for facilitating exploration and curious play. I am changed.”
“After Lori’s intensive workshop, my awareness of my breath in everyday life has greatly increased. Now, I actually notice more often if I’ve been holding my breath, how my breathing changes in different situations, and my connection to my overall physical self is also greater as a result. Through Lori’s training, I truly have been learning to adopt the “Art of Awareness” as a regular practice and when I am in a given environment now, my senses are heightened. I notice other people’s behavior and details more than ever, and even pay more attention to animals and pets. When combined with acting as FitzMeisner, I believe this work is the best way-in to getting to know your true self and to becoming who you really are.”
