Grace McLary Voice

And that’s a wrap!

Incredibly grateful for and to this incredible group of young artists that I had the joy of working with this year. Thank you for welcoming me back to Marymount and making silly sounds with me - work is easy when your students are this kick ass!

Its almost Labor Day, so you know what that means - back to school!! Come work on your voice with me this fall - click the link in my bio to book now!

This October, and I will be leading 3 intensives for actors: Foundational and Level 1 Monologue Intensives, and a Foundational Vocal Transformation Intensive. These slots are going fast, so please book while you can! Learn about these intensives in PKs words below, and sign up to join us in the link in my bio!

Monologue Intensive - Foundations
An introduction to the PK Method: utilizing left brain and right brain strategies to help you better understand and embody the text. The PK Method includes voice-centric techniques to break down monologues and sides. 

Monologue Intensive - Level 1
This is a deeper dive into building your practice for text work. We will use the foundational work from the first monologue intensive as the warm up and jumping off point for paired and individual coaching. This intensive is all about finding different ways into the work and that means an individualized approach for each artist participant

Vocal Transformation Intensive
I’ve developed Vocal Transformation over the last decade to help actors learn about all the things their voice can do. I’ve taught it around the world and it brings me so much joy to play with the voice in this way. This is ideal for impressions, voice over work, character creation, singing styles, and folks looking to build their foundational work for accent and dialects.

As I submit my final grades for my first semester with , I can’t help but gush over the students I’ve had the joy of teaching this year. The lovely young actors in these photos have done some incredible work this past semester, and it has been my absolute pleasure to help them explore voice and speech. Thank you all for your hard work and patience, and for trusting me with your voice!

Wishing a happy and healthy holiday to all of my students, and here’s to another fabulous year of voice and accent!

Earlier this weekend and across the pond, my classmates walked across a stage to finalize our Masters degree journey. While I’m sad I couldn’t be there, I am so incredibly proud of the work I did with this group, and immensely grateful for the opportunity to do what I love! I will always cherish my time in London, and I look forward to what the future has in hold for me and the people I’ve grown to call family over the past two years. ❤️

Today I’m showing appreciation for the ones who came before me! I started taking voice lessons with Celeste when I was around 12 years old, and she has been an inspiration to me ever since. Celeste helped me begin my voice and singing journey and has been there for me every step of the way. Thank you for the years of love and support, and here’s to many more! ❤️

Fridays are for vocal anatomy here at Grace McLary Voice! Today we’ll be building our own laryngeal models with the BFA actors at - demystifying voice piece by piece 🤓 what have you always wondered about how the voice works?

Registration for the PK Method London Vocal Transformation intensive is live! If you are in London area 29 April, don’t miss the opportunity to spend a day exploring your voice in new ways with me and Melissa Kollwitz, founder of the PK method.

From PK:
“I’ve developed this approach over the last decade to help actors learn about all the things their voice can do. I've taught it around the world and it brings me so much joy to play with the voice in this way.

This is ideal for impressions, voice over work, character creation, singing styles, and folks looking to build their foundational work for accent and dialects.

In this intensive we will:
- Learn how to manipulate the vocal tract to sound like someone else (both speakers and singers). Or create characters from the starting point of the voice.
- Practice isolating articulators to transfer these skills to other explorations.
- Document your observations and develop ear-training.
- Learn how to maintain this new vocal tract posture to new texts, songs, and improv.”

Register now, as spots are limited! Cant wait to see you there ✨

Tongue twisters are a fun and easy way to get your articulators ready to work. Having dexterity in our mouth is an important element of being able to manipulate the vocal tract to discover new sounds. What’s your favourite tongue twister?

“Society claims that only a limited number of people are musical, and yet it behaves as if all possessed the basic capacity without which no musical tradition can exist - the capacity to listen and distinguish patterns of sound” - John Blacking
