Actors + Acting Studios

Started by the actor FM Alexander to address a vocal problem he was having in performance, The Alexander Technique is a simple and profound means by which you can use your own observation to free yourself from undue tension and effort and make any choice you want in the present moment. The Technique does not dictate specific posture or movement, but instead reveals a multitude of options and empowers you to make appropriate and exciting artistic choices and accommodate direction.

Notable Practitioners

The finest of actors use the Alexander Technique to deepen and refine their work:

"The many benefits that the Alexander technique afforded us as actors included minimized tension, centeredness, vocal relaxation and responsiveness, mind/body connection, and about an inch and a half of additional height. By balancing and neutralizing tensions, I’ve learned to relieve as well as to avoid the aches and pain caused by the thousands of natural shocks that flesh is heir to."
