Julia Norton's School

This course is very practical and well rounded. Julia teaches a lot of technical information about how the voice works, and corrected some mistaken ideas I had had about the voice since acting school, years ago. And she gives a sensible, usable method to safely warmup, cool down and otherwise prepare for demanding voice work. The course provided me with a clear picture of how the voice works and swept away a lot of the junk in my head that wasn't doing my voice any good. It should be the new standard.

This course has been amazingly helpful to me. I'm 74 years old and it took until now for me to visually understand what the vocal cords look like and to learn how they interact with the physical, voice-producing structures around them. This is so useful to me as an actor now focused on audiobook work. I do some aspect of Julia's warmups before every recording session and it makes an enormous difference. Pain that I had from TMJ for about a year is much diminished. My neck and shoulder area feels more relaxed overall. I'm finding it easier to take deep, nourishing, quiet, relaxed breaths while I record. I keep dipping back into the course for reminders of warmups and cool downs and for images of the vocal structures. Thank you Julia.

I've been a voice professional for a long time but was feeling like I had less control over my sound as I've been getting older. Through Julia's course, I found some tools I now use regularly but also realized some habits I'd developed that were simple fixes for me as well! Julia's course been a game changer. Thanks, Julia!

As a working voice actor, I rely upon my voice every day. I stress the heck out of it at times and always felt as though I needed to take better care of it. When Julia announced this course, it brought together great information about the way my vocal system works and combined it with easy, actionable steps to care for it. This course has been both a lifesaver and restorative tool. The fact that we get to enjoy Julia's singular wit and energy through the videos is an even greater bonus. Well worth the investment - this is an exceptionally beneficial course! Thank you Julia!

Julia's course is essential learning for anyone stepping into a booth with a long day ahead. The warm-up exercises are not only helpful but also silly and fun! Cool-down exercises are absolutely key, to reset yourself and be kind to your voice. My favorite thing about this course is the downloadable warm-up and cool-down piano accompaniments that Julia provides. That, or the fact that I get to meow like a deranged cat and say I'm doing it for work!
