Try the Secret of the Successful

F. M. Alexander was an orator (reciting Shakespeare) when he set out to improve the use of his voice and stumbled upon what is now known as the Alexander Technique. Actors, dancers, singers, and musicians have used AT to produce more fluid performances. AT is a required course at many prestigious schools including the Julliard School in New York, American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, New England Conservatory of Music, Yale School of Drama, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music in London. And, AT remains central to the training of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra to achieve optimal performances.

Many renowned performers including Ben Kingsley, William Hurt, Jeremy Irons, James Earl Jones, Sting, Paul McCartney, Robin Williams,Kevin Kline, Paul Newman, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Juliette Binoche, Kenneth Branaugh, Michael Caine, and Hillary Swank have used the Alexander Technique as their secret weapon on stage and on screen. Alexander Teachers often work behind the scenes on Hollywood movie sets and at exclusive acting schools (eg. The Actor's Studio, Circle in the Square, Stella Adler, HB Studios, etc.) to help bring out award-winning performances.

"The Technique's many benefits for actors include minimized tension, centeredness, vocal relaxation and responsiveness, mind/body connection and about an inch and a half of additional height!"

"I was first introduced to Alexander Technique and to Sharon in acting school. The course was so fascinating to me because it gave me tools for awareness of my instrument. During a class performance I experienced a connectedness of my voice, breath and body; a freedom that I had never encountered before. Since graduating I have continued lessons, endlessly discovering not only as an actor but also as a human body in motion in my day to day life. Sharon offers incredible insight and process in relearning how to move, speak and breathe, without tension."
Dana Salah, Actor
