About
Peter N. Bailey
Peter’s quest to become a voice coach is rooted in his belief that we all have the right to experience and explore our voices, free of the tension, and or societal restrictions that impede our ability to express ourselves. We all enter the world with a fully free unrestricted voice. But over a lifetime, habits form, which can close us off from being able to speak with clarity, power, and the authenticity that is uniquely us. Peter’s classes are designed to help people explore and examine the connection between presence, the body, and breath, and how they support freeing the voice within.
Peter graduated from the Humber College Theatre Performance Program in 2003. Peter’s theatre credits include: A World Without Shadows, The Wilberforce Hotel, Jumbo, The Real McCoy (The Blyth Festival), Other Side of the Game (Cahoots Theatre Co. and Obsidian Theatre), To Kill a Mockingbird, An Ideal Husband, Richard III, All’s Well That Ends Well (Stratford Festival), Fences (Grand Theatre), Here Are the Fragments (The Theatre Centre), Romeo and Juliet, Sweat, Fairview (Canadian Stage Company), A Few Good Men (Drayton Entertainment).
