The Corporate Workshop / Keynote Addresses
Elaine has sold out workshops for the past 10 years, been a featured expert on CBC, CTV, The “W” Network, MuchMusic, StarTV, The Shopping Channel, Global, CTS, TVO, and The Discovery Health Network.
Moving between podium and piano, Elaine’s inspiring keynote addresses vary in content and length, according to the occasion, bringing new insights to the principles of vocal communication – both singing and speaking. By taking her audience past the ‘fear’, she leads them to discover their physical voice hidden inside, and in so doing, helps them to welcome life’s challenges with a renewed courage.
Demonstrating such techniques as lower body grounding, freedom in the vocal and neck area and the principles of resonance and breathing, she opens a new world of understanding of the human voice as a soul-revealing instrument of power. Elaine will entertain with stories of the films and stars with whom she has worked, and may even entice the group to let loose in beautiful harmony! As a rousing conclusion to the presentation, Elaine will powerfully & movingly interpret a song using the principles revealed.

There will be one-on-one attention to individual tensions & strengths. Attendees will also be led through a short song to go beyond the technique, and access the spiritual / emotional element of their “Big Voice”. They will learn how to access these techniques to enhance the speaking and singing voice.
