About the Course:
The Audio–Vocal Course lasts 5 days. Participants who already have completed at least 45 hours of Tomatis listening will receive the maximum benefit from the Course, though it is not a necessity.
The Tomatis Method works on an interactive loop between the ear, voice and posture. The course will establish the link between listening and the voice in a theoretical and practical way. Thanks to the vocal practice, the person becomes the true actor of her or his evolution, all the while being very active in the process.
Through vocal and postural training, the effect of the listening sessions are stabilised, strengthened and enhances sustained performance.
The brain needs constant sensorial stimulation to work properly, and at its highest level. Auditory stimulation is one of the most effective tools today and functions through the production of sounds that are especially rich in high harmonics. Vocal practice tends to also improve cortical recharge and then also to gain energy.

Course Goals:
This workshop aims at improving speaking or singing voice quality.
- With a specific technique called "bone sound technique", the exercises increase the quality of timber, intonation articulation, vocalisation, fluidity.
- The participant learns how to use his or her voice without any effort and without damaging the "instrument".
Moreover, beyond the work with the Electronic Ear, the voice and posture are tremendous instruments which will grow self–awareness and an increased capacity of letting–go.
- Being centred enables the self to open outward to others and to the world. The way we emit our voice reflects the way we live.
- Communication skills are improved.
