Voice Workshop


Liz Mills offers exclusive workshop at The Fugard Theatre Studio – WOMEN in VOICE in BUSINESS – contact [email protected] for information and to book.

The human voice is the most overlooked personal asset even though we all regularly make assumptions about a person's education, age, status, competency and reliability based on how that person sounds. If you are intrigued by the idea of 'vocal image' this workshop offers the opportunity to explore both the power and the range of your voice.  Enquiries: [email protected]

Scattered Monkeys - “An Insiders Perspective on the Evolving Music Industry”


5183300370_5872d87b78.jpg

Imagine you are a wolf.

You were raised to hunt buffalo. You could take down one buffalo and feed your family for the long haul. Then one day the buffalo disappear.

There is a new species in your environment. You have never seen this creature before. They are hairy with beady-eyes, funny tails, and look almost human; they are monkeys.

Yes, oddly enough there are now monkeys everywhere. They are swinging in the trees and bathing in your watering hole. Monkeys as far as the eye can see. You are soon sick of banana peels and your mouth waters every time you hear that annoying cackle.
