AGELESS VOICES
by Sibel Tuzun for Age UK Richmond upon Thames
SUPPORTING THE VOICE THROUGH LATER LIFE
AGELESS VOICES is a gentle, practical voice training programme for adults aged 55+, designed to support age-related voice changes and everyday vocal comfort.
The programme is offered in Twickenham and has been shaped by the lived voice experiences, questions and needs shared by adults in the local community.
WHY VOICES CHANGE OVER TIME
The voice, like the rest of the body, evolves over time.
Changes often develop gradually and may go unnoticed until later years.
Many people describe the experience as:
“I don’t sound like myself anymore.”
Common experiences may include:
- Vocal instability or cracking
- Vocal fatigue during conversation
- Reduced volume or clarity
- Hoarseness or dryness
- Needing to repeat oneself more often
- Changes in singing range or ease
These experiences are common and shared.
They are signals that the voice may benefit from informed, supportive voice training.
WHAT IS AGELESS VOICES?
AGELESS VOICES offers educational, experience-led voice training, focusing on:
- Supporting age-related vocal change
- Improving everyday speaking voice comfort and clarity
- Encouraging sustainable, confident voice use
- Promoting long-term vocal wellbeing
The work is educational rather than therapeutic.
No previous singing or voice training experience is required.
Following two fully subscribed groups last year, the programme returns in 2026 due to continued interest.

ROOT TO RISE – ONLINE
Alignment & Grounding Through the Body
New term coming soon.
Early notification and priority access are available through Academy membership.
RETURN TO ALIGNMENT
Root to Rise is a live online somatic practice designed to support grounding, alignment and ease in the body.
Modern life often keeps the body still, seated and compressed.
Over time, habitual postural holding can build up, mobility may reduce, and energy can begin to feel restricted.
Through mindful movement, breath and voice, Root to Rise offers a gentle yet effective way to release habitual patterns, reawaken natural alignment and restore balance.
As the body softens and reorganises, breath and voice respond naturally, supporting steadier presence and more comfortable expression.
WHO IS THIS PRACTICE FOR?
This practice is suitable if you would like to:
- Release habitual tension and postural holding
- Improve body awareness and alignment
- Support comfortable breathing and grounded presence
- Experience greater ease in movement, voice and daily activity
Sessions are open to all levels.
No previous experience is required.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Each 50-minute online session offers:
- Gentle somatic movement for alignment and grounding
- Breath awareness to support ease and balance
- Voice-based exploration to integrate body, breath and sound
All within a calm, supportive and small-group online learning environment.
Weekly recording access is provided for one week, allowing you to revisit the practice and move at your own rhythm.
WHY ALIGNMENT MATTERS
Alignment shapes how we move, breathe, sound and feel.
When alignment is supported:
- Movement becomes more efficient
- Breathing feels more comfortable and balanced
- The voice sounds steadier and more supported
Alignment is not about appearance.
It is the foundation of comfortable movement, balanced energy and a voice that feels authentic and at ease.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If you have a pre-existing medical condition, please consult your healthcare professional before beginning any physical practice.
To receive early notification when the next term opens, please become a member of the Academy.
THE VOICE ANTI-AGEING PROGRAMME 40+
A Preventive, Experience-Led Voice Programme
New dates announced periodically.
Early notification and priority booking are available through Academy membership.
SUPPORTING THE VOICE AS CHANGE BEGINS
The Voice Anti-Ageing Programme is a live online, professional programme designed to support the voice during the early stages of age-related change, before more established patterns of vocal ageing develop.
Just as the body evolves over time, the voice also begins to change.
For many people, subtle shifts appear from the 40s onwards, often before they are clearly recognised or named.
These early changes may include reduced stamina, subtle alterations in tone, increased effort during speaking or singing, or the sense that the voice requires more conscious support than before.
This programme offers a preventive and protective approach, providing structured guidance at the point where change is first noticed, rather than later, when vocal ageing becomes more established.
With informed, functional support, the voice can continue to feel responsive, supported and expressive over time.
PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE
This programme may be particularly supportive during periods of hormonal transition, such as perimenopause and menopause.
During these stages, some people notice changes in vocal stamina, tone, comfort or breath coordination.
Through body-based and functional voice work, the programme supports greater awareness, steadiness and care as the voice adapts through these transitions.
WHO IS THIS PROGRAMME FOR?
This programme may be suitable if you are noticing:
- Vocal tiredness appearing sooner than before
- Subtle changes in tone, resonance or clarity
- Reduced flexibility or control
- Increased effort during longer periods of speaking
- A growing need to consciously manage breath and voice use
These experiences are common and can be gently and effectively supported when addressed early.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Across five weeks, the programme explores:
- The physiological evolution of the voice with age, including early shifts in breath coordination and vocal function
- The role of posture, breath and resonance in supporting long-term vocal comfort and clarity
- How functional voice training supports steadiness, efficiency and ease
- Gentle approaches to maintaining flexibility and reducing unnecessary strain as the voice matures
PRACTICAL EXPLORATION INCLUDES
- Posture awareness for grounding and healthy alignment
- Natural abdominal breathing to support balanced airflow and sustainable voice use
- Gentle tone and resonance practices, such as humming, vowel shaping and breath-to-sound coordination
- Relaxation approaches that support the nervous system and reduce habitual tension
- Subtle strengthening patterns to support vocal clarity and long-term stability
LONG-TERM VOICE CARE
This 5-week live online programme offers experience-led, accessible tools to help you care for your voice proactively, before significant vocal ageing develops.
Through mindful breath, tone and functional voice exploration, you are invited to build a sustainable and supportive relationship with your voice, with ease, confidence and care.
To receive early notification when new dates are released, please become a member of the Academy.

Embodied Feminine Vitality through Voice, Breath & Movement
A SPACE TO RECONNECT WITH FEMININE PRESENCE
Wake Up Your Goddess Energy is a calm, welcoming online space designed to support embodied feminine vitality through voice, breath and movement.

WHAT IS THIS SESSION?
Wake Up Your Goddess Energy is an experience-led, body-centred voice and movement practice.

INNER BALANCE
Chakra-Inspired Voice Practice
Voice & Vibration for Embodied Awareness
A GENTLE SPACE FOR INNER COHERENCE
Inner Balance is a calm, experience-led online practice that explores voice and vibration as tools for embodied awareness and inner steadiness.
The session draws inspiration from the chakra system, which originates from ancient Indian philosophy and describes seven symbolic energy centres associated with aspects of human experience such as grounding, creativity, communication, intuition and awareness.
Here, chakras are approached as an experiential and reflective framework, rather than a diagnostic or healing model.
HOW WE WORK
When inner experience feels supported and coherent, we may notice greater ease, clarity and vitality.
When it feels restricted, this can show up as tension, fatigue, emotional heaviness or difficulty expressing ourselves.
Through voice, vibration and breath, we explore gentle ways of softening habitual holding patterns and inviting a sense of flow and balance.
The emphasis is not on fixing or correcting, but on noticing, experiencing and reconnecting.
VOICE, VIBRATION & BREATH
Inner Balance brings together:
- Gentle toning and vocal resonance
- Mindful, comfortable breathing
- Moments of listening and inner attention
Sound is used as a universal, non-religious medium for listening inward, supporting embodied awareness and a felt sense of steadiness.
WHEN BALANCE FEELS DISRUPTED
You may notice experiences such as:
- Emotional fluctuation, restlessness or low inspiration
- Difficulty with communication or self-expression
- Tension in the throat, chest, abdomen or jaw
- Reduced confidence, creativity or vitality
- A quieter connection to intuition or joy
Exploring voice and vibration can gently support clarity, grounding and inner ease.
WHAT THIS SESSION SUPPORTS
EMOTIONAL & ENERGETIC AWARENESS
- Emotional release through sound and breath
- A sense of flow and inner coherence
- Presence, self-awareness and steadiness
- Space for gentle inner integration
VOCAL & PHYSICAL SUPPORT
- Vocal clarity, tone and resonance
- Release of throat, jaw and upper-body tension
- A stronger voice–body connection
