Emily Young

Greenville, SC & Online

Ideal client: Public speakers, trained singers looking for a "fresh approach", gender affirming voice clients

Emily is a speech-language pathologist, hobby singer, and 200-hr RYT, who fell in love with YogaVoice® at a local master class with Mark in 2022. She was astonished as young, meek singers immediately transformed their sound and presence by assuming a yoga posture and familiarizing with the associated elemental tone. Having learned to scrutinize neck, tongue and jaw tension in both her own and others' singing technique, allowing the energy in the body to take care of the voice was a completely new and refreshing concept that seemed much more effective than other techniques she had learned thus far. With her background in teaching yoga and rehabilitating voice, this felt like the perfect solution for many of her patients-- especially those with muscle tension-related voice disorders. Through her own YogaVoice® lessons and teacher training, Emily has experienced transformation in her own singing voice, and especially with registration issues she has struggled with since her childhood. She is eager to help others unlock their authentic singing and speaking voices, and even their figurative voices, through this transformational practice.
