What are Full Voice Coaches doing in the world?

Several community song leaders are offering Full Voice to groups and individuals as they foster oral tradition singing in their regions.

A church musician with a music degree is now including Full Voice in her other offerings: spiritual direction, Dances of Universal Peace, and using singing as a form of activism.

A song leader and voice coach is using Full Voice in concert with Yoga of the Voice certification and community song circles. She is also an end-of-life doula who uses voice and harp with her clients and their families.

A therapist is incorporating Full Voice into her work with individual clients. She is also founder of a comfort choir that brings song and presence to people at the end of life. Several trauma-informed therapists incorporate this work into their practice as well.

A graphic designer, singer and father of four is teaching his children the Five Elements as part of their family singing culture. He is also leading weekend workshops that blend Full Voice with improvisational singing.
Testimonials from Graduates

​​Full Voice Coach Certification was one of the best educational experiences of my life. Thanks to Barbara’s strong and joyous teaching style, I re-discovered my love of learning. The curriculum and its challenges were so carefully considered that the early steps prepared me for the later steps — what was terrifying was at the same time possible and fun. The combination of personal journey work, skill acquisition, creative expression, and practical applications was brilliant. I have never felt so supported in a learning environment, with such attention to detail on every level of learning. The Full Voice Training is proving life-changing for me.
– ​Katharine Grant, 2018

My world expanded and became so much richer as result of the Full Voice course. Not only did I find my study of voice a deep and rewarding experience, but I learned how to coach others in expressing themselves more powerfully.  Barbara McAfee has created an informative, enlightening, challenging, and fun course that offers a way to combine passion and purpose while earning some income at the same time.
- Ingrid Mattsson, 2018
 

I highly recommend Full Voice Coach Training if you long to serve others in accessing their voice to make a difference in their lives and for the sake of the world. Barbara’s unique Five Elements Framework™ offers me an embodied practice that intensifies the connections between my words, my meaning, my delivery, and my soul.  I apply the the skills I learned in my therapy practice and song leadership. Truly liberating the voice gives greater freedom to a person’s whole way of being in the world. 

Barbara is a force for the great flow of love, creativity, silliness, depth, integrity, and passion for a healed world.  Working with her in this training has been powerful and joyous.
- Dianne Baker, 2016
 
I have been touched and expanded by my participation in the Full Voice Coach Training program.  In the process of learning to coach others, I moved into new capacities within myself: I am more confident; my voice is more flexible, strong, and whole; my ears are more discerning; and I am more in love with being human.  Barbara creates a potent container for learning.  In everything we did, my humanness was valued and my heart just kept opening. 

Throughout the course, our cohort became a bonded group, dedicated to each other’s growth, and excited about the ways in which Full Voice work can inspire growth in others.   This connection has continued after the end of the course as we support each other in bringing this good work to the world.
- Lia Falls, 2018
 
I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work through the Full Voice Training Program. I gained the knowledge, skills, and confidence to do something I never I imagined I would or could. The course combined pedagogy, development of my own intuition, ritual, ceremony, laughter, tears, and deep reflection. The experience felt deeply personal and transformed my perception of the world.
My teachers and fellow graduates have now become colleagues and friends in carrying the work forward. 
– Laura Nelson, 2018
