What is The skeletal voice ?
Your voice doesn’t need to be corrected—it’s something that reveals itself when your system is well-organized.
Drawing from the Feldenkrais Method and integrating modern voice science and pedagogy, Robert Sussuma will help you cultivate deeper awareness of the “little body”—the intricate system from lips to vocal folds—within the larger whole.
His method is exploratory : instead of training specific sounds or muscles, he creates playful voice “puzzles” & learning environments where new vocal capacities emerge.
By weaving together anatomical insight, somatic awareness, vocal experimentation, and a playful release of rigid habits, you’ll discover new pathways to expression—not through effort, but through discovery.

Want to know more ?
In the Feldenkrais Method, awareness of the skeleton provides a powerful way to organize movement--and that includes the intricate, coordinated actions of singing. But what if your bones could also guide your vocal expression? In this workshop, you'll explore how skeletal awareness can transform vocal ease, flexibility, and function in surprising ways - even when those bones may be fictitious! Whether it's finding more resonance, releasing effort, or refining articulation, understanding the role of your bones can offer a whole new way of working with your voice. We’ll bridge broad movement principles with precise vocal applications, giving you strategies that are both deeply foundational and immediately practical. Once you experience this shift, you’ll never think about singing the same way again.
This workshop is for anyone interested in voice and singing, and in deepening their skeletal awareness in relation to the voice. It is also ideal for singers and voice teachers who wish to delve deeper into a Feldenkrais® approach to vocal learning, voice development and solving the vocal “problems” that most are trying to solve - but in a different way... from the point of view of the bones.
The benefits will be different for each person, but overall there will be more ease and ability vocally and more success technically, while learning about one’s self and one’s capabilities from a unique perspective.
The topics covered will be determined by the group’s input and interests.
The structure will be a mix of discussion, ATM, group work and perhaps some open coaching.
There are no prerequisites other than an interest in voice and singing, some basic vocal abilities and lots of curiosity!
