VOICE DIALOGUE ACTING® IN ENGLISH

4 days in Paris, France, to explore Voice Dialogue Acting® technique, in English !

Stop Acting ! Use The Voices in Your Head :

We'll work on scenes from GAME OF THRONES, OUTLANDER, WANTED, THE EQUALIZER, M. FOR MURDER, THE FALL, THE GOOD WIFE, HOMELAND, BLOODLINE ...

Discover, listen to, and explore the Voices in your Head with Voice Dialogue Acting. These Inner Characters have a life of their own, and they offer incredible potential for character work for actors. Voice Dialogue, developed by Hal and Sidra Stone, PhD., is an amazing tool to explore consciousness and the inner-voices of the psyche. These Inner Characters are energy bodies that vibrate within us and determine ‘who we are’ at any given time. Each Self has its own way of viewing the world, its own perceptions, its own beliefs and rules, and its own specific history. By dialoguing with our Inner-Selves we learn to balance between opposites, and connect with the energy of an Inner-Self, thereby connecting with the energy that can vehicle a character from a script.

During this workshop, we will explore theses Inner Characters, their connection with universal Archetypes, and the process of going in and out of character with ease and balance.

Voice Dialogue Acting is a fast, truthful, easy, surprising process, and will help you be in the moment, living the life of your character instead of acting. It will give you incredible stage and screen presence, and truth.

Scenes from GAME OF THRONES, OUTLANDER, WANTED, THE EQUALIZER, M. FOR MURDER, THE FALL, THE GOOD WIFE, HOMELAND, BLOODLINE.

What is VOICE DIALOGUE ACTING®?

It is exploring the Voices in our consciousness (Inner Characters or Sub-personalities) to build a character on stage or on screen.
It is understanding to which Archetypes corresponds your acting range and the character you are playing.
It is using the energies and sensations of your body, instead of the mental analytical understanding, to let the character really « enter your body » and your consciousness.
It is stopping « acting », but letting the character be and live and follow its objectives.
It is understanding which vulnerability is hiding behind and is protected within the personality of the character.
It is unlocking blocks, limitations, judgments and self-criticism that prevent you from interpreting a role fully.
It is learning to balance your emotions to better manage them before, during and after performance and live a harmonious life as an actor.
It is developing and organic, incarnated and truthful performance, ideal for the camera.
It is learning how to abandon oneself to a character and truly let go.

This workshop will be held in ENGLISH in PARIS, France. (French actors are welcome, if they are fluent in English (that is able to understand, speak, read and work in English).

Voice Dialogue Acting® IN ENGLISH in Paris, TESTIMONIALS from The 2018 JUne workshop :

Testimonials from previous workshops

Scène de BLOODLINE (rôle de SALLY) au cours du stage de VOICE DIALOGUE ACTING IN ENGLISH DE JUIN 2018. Merci du partage Joëlle Haddad Champeyroux !

Une remarquable incarnation de la MATRIARCHE SALLY RAYBURN...:-)

"Extraordinaire façon de nous emmener tout en douceur vers la découverte de nos possibilités d'actrice les plus incarnées. La méthode VDA nous permet d'entrer en symbiose avec le personnage que l'on doit interpréter et de le laisser vivre et s'exprimer dans sa plus grande justesse, dans le respect de soi et en sécurité."

" Le Voice Dialogue Acting m'a permis de prendre vraiment conscience de mon potentiel et d'apprendre comment y faire un appel afin de mieux incarner un personnage. En fin de compte, nous avons tous des archétypes en nous et dialoguer avec eux est un bon moyen de construire son rôle et savoir comment l'appréhender. De plus, j'ai appris auprès d'une personne très humaine et qui toujours nous pousse vers le meilleur de nous-mêmes tout en restant apaisante. Merci à toi, Emmanuelle!

Quant au lieu où a eu lieu le stage, je le trouve très apaisant, il dégage une énergie calme et puissante à la fois, comme une force tranquille. Cela me rappelle mes deux séjours dans la Vallée du Giussani en Corse." Matthew Vanston

Quelques témoignages du stage précédent :

"Emma vise juste et droit, avec bienveillance et délicatesse. Une sorte de maïeuticienne clairvoyante qui sait vous faire accoucher de votre personnage, avec justesse. Vous cherchez à mieux vous connaitre et proposer un jeu organique et incarné ? Je recommande chaudement ses stages ! Un moment fort et intense pour qui souhaite jouir de l’instant présent, avec vérité." Aurélie Paino

"The workshop was really interesting for me, and shooting the scene the last day really useful. I have found nice colleagues and you are a rich teacher always ready to help any actors with the right help, words, techniques and advice." Francesco

"Ce workshop été plus qu'à la hauteur de mes attentes ! Emmanuelle Chaulet à une façon juste intuitive et pertinente de transmettre et nous emmène avec force et douceur vers notre jeu le plus profond. Le jeu incarné prend soudain tout son sens. On en devient accro!! Merci!!! " Joëlle Haddad Champeyroux

"Le Voice Dialogue Acting est une technique très intéressante et safe pour aller chercher un personnage, pour dépasser un blocage. L'animatrice et ses assistants sont très à l'écoute... vous avez su proposer un cadre sécurisant. Le lieu est très agréable calme. la présence d'un jardin et dans un coin cuisine est un vrai plus" Marc Rolland

Voice Dialogue Acting Pedagogy

Voice Dialogue Acting is holistic. Voice Dialogue Acting is the current evolution of the method "Energize" presented in the book A BALANCING ACT, and developed by F. Emmanuelle Chaulet.

Voice Dialogue Acting incorporates a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual approach and the training integrates mind, body, and spirit. The basic concept of this work is to consider and train the actor holistically. The term "holistic" is derived from the Greek root, holos, meaning complete, or whole. A holistic approach to acting views the actor's instrument as not only comprised of the body (which engenders posture, gestures, movement, and voice), and the mind (which addresses the objectives, intentions, feelings and sensations), but also of the invisible energetic life force of the person, called prana by the Hindus, qi or chi by the Chinese, and referred to as spirit by the Occidentals.

Voice Dialogue is an approach that was introduced to me by late Mala Powers during the Michael Chekhov Institute at the University of Southern Maine in 1999.

Voice Dialogue, was initially developed in 1972, by Hal Stone, Ph.D. and Sidra Stone, Ph.D. as an exploration of relationships and the Psychology of Selves (also known as the Psychology of the Aware Ego). This technique is a tool to explore the multitude of inner characters in our consciousness, giving them a voice, and letting them speak in a facilitated and structured setting. It has been successfully used by professionals in the fields of psychotherapy, counseling, personal coaching, business or organizational consulting and creative coaching. I have found it to be an extraordinary tool for actors and performers as it enables them to tap into a specific Self –or Sub-Personality– for the development of a character. And it is so theatrical!

Join a group of professional actors who are motivated and serious about honoring their instrument, while diving into characters with organic truth. 3 days Masterclasses are held in Paris, France each trimester, and individual and group sessions can be taken anywhere in the world via zoom.
