Guide to Vocal Self-Massage for Singers

Robert Price is a voice teacher, director, and level five advanced clinical massage therapist specialising in the voice and jaw. He trained in voice studies at the Central School of Speech and Drama before teaching and directing in many drama schools and currently serves voice users at his Vocal Massage London and at the Voice Care Centre. Robert teaches vocal massage to other teachers, osteopaths, physiotherapists, and SLTs, and he's here with us in Ep. 171, to help us understand how we can perform massage on ourselves and guide our clients in self-massage in the studio.
BEST MOMENTS
"The fundamental value of massage is to move people from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state."
"The benefits of vocal massage are subjective. It usually helps people, but quite what's happening within that is about the person."
"Consent and safety are at the heart of manual therapy. The person should have agency over the touch and feel comfortable throughout the session."

"The BAST course has given me so much confidence to be able to share knowledge and understanding about the voice, as well as helping me to gain a greater understanding of what being a teacher actually entails.” Danny Gortler, UK
“The BAST course was exactly what I was looking for and has been a tremendous help, not only in giving me the tools and confidence to teach, but it has also helped my own singing! I’m now getting comments at my gigs that I’m singing better than ever. Win-win! I’m now a vocal nerd in the making!” Nat Ripepi, Aust
“The BAST course gave an incredibly thorough overview of effective, healthy methods of improving a student’s singing ability. I really enjoyed better understanding the mechanism of sound production, and learning how to assess and problem solve in a very responsible, appropriate and practical way!” Rändi Fay, USA
