Sound can be an immensely powerful tool for magical work throughout the wide variety of paths we follow. In this workshop, we will explore the sounds we can make on micro and macro levels, delving into the nature of sound as fundamental frequency and overtones, and also covering some practical applications of our voices in magical work. We will walk through the basics of the musical harmonic series to understand the unique qualities of our own voices (and more), briefly cover healthy vocal technique and breath-work, and discuss how we can use this knowledge to enhance our vocalizing. Participants can learn how to do their own overtone singing, and utilize this new skill in simple group chanting.
