KTS Webinar #66: Intimate Voice
April 10 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Friday, 10th April, 2026, 12pm PST / 3pm EST / 8pm GMT/ 7am AEDT
Intimacy coordination has transformed physical staging practices and highlighted the importance of consent-based practices on set, in rehearsal and in actor training. However, voice training and intimacy co-ordination have remained mostly separate fields, with the movement-led background of intimacy co-ordinators leading to a situation where the artistic possibilities and possible health concerns around voice are often an afterthought in intimate scenes. How can voice professionals use the consent-based practices of intimacy coordination in our own work and teaching practice? How might a greater awareness of vocal storytelling and safety inform the staging of intimate scenes across all performance contexts? We will discuss current approaches to intimate voice work, methods of notating vocal choreography, and explore how to navigate ethical, technical and artistic considerations in scenes that require intimate voice.
