Introducing...
The Vocal Gymnast
With Yvonne Morley-Chisholm
Eager to take on ALL the roles?
Got Robin Williams level aspirations?
You’ll need to prepare your voice. Seriously.
You wouldn’t run a marathon without training, right?
Don’t your vocal muscles deserve the same respect as your leg muscles?
Ok, I know most of you wouldn’t run a marathon at all. I feel you. Me neither.
But I know you use your voice EVERY DAY. Sometimes for hours on end, your unique and special job requires you to:
- Scream
- Cry
- Cough
- Die
- Cough and then die
- Scream, cry, and cough while falling through the air on fire into shark infested waters
- Then drown
- Now do it again. And again. With the right accent. And feeling.
You are an ACTOR who prides yourself in your professionalism.
So you dive in, daily, just hoping all this vocal abuse won’t permanently damage your instrument.
Your livelihood.
If you’ve been at this for a while, you know how easy it can be to damage your voice.
This program trains you and your body to prevent that damage, and ensure it never happens again. Yvonne’s promise is the ability to manipulate your voice’s full potential for animation and games with ZERO damage.
That’s right. ZERO.
A comprehensive vocal training program

Yvonne's Daily Vocal Health Tip 7 of 7
In the weeks prior to the start of this program, we’ll be sharing some of Yvonne’s vocal training and warm-up tips here. Keep coming back to see more!
If you're a working voice actor, this twelve-week program is a MUST.
This Program Is...
UNIQUE
Unlike other online voice classes, this is no passive “watch and learn” program.
This is Yvonne’s first (and possibly last) time offering access to this work online Internationally.
Up until now, it has only been conducted in-person.
RIGOROUS
A twelve-week program
teaching you to master your instrument through consistent and sustained exercises
that build upon each other as the course progresses.
EFFECTIVE
Leaves you impervious to vocal damage, and
free to just act.
PERSONAL
The routines and exercises in this program require intense scrutiny and feedback from Yvonne.
Each week, Yvonne will monitor students’ posture and form during these exercises to ensure they get it right without damaging themselves.
Push yourself too far without the appropriate training for your body and voice, and you could lose your voice, the job, and your sanity.
I speak from personal experience.
Yvonne put an end to my biggest recurring Actor’s Nightmare.
I lost my voice the night before opening a 34 character solo play off Broadway.
I lost my voice trying to adequately channel Mrs. Crabtree, screaming at kids in the back of the South Park bus.
I was so afraid of losing my voice again, I lost my voice again and again.
I have been on strict vocal rest, silence, for weeks of my life, and had to say no to great career opportunities, for fear of the damage compounding, causing nodules, requiring surgery, becoming permanent.
As a professional voice actor for 30 years, for me Yvonne’s teaching was a revelation.
She took me from a place of constricted fear and uncertainty to a place of confident vocal health and preparedness. My voice felt BETTER after running my taxing solo show with Yvonne’s warm-up and guidance. Instead of needing a day of silence after a show, I was vocally stronger and ready to take on the world.
I am thrilled to be able to share this bespoke pilot program with my students and colleagues.
This work is priceless.
