Unlock Your Voice.  Release Your Song.

About the Film

In a society where people are measured according to the prowess of their performance, early childhood criticism of the sound of our voice or comparing our expression to others may contribute to hiding our singing voice and creativity.

 Fear of singing has become a kind of silent, global epidemic.

As told through spoken insights and original music of voice educators, artists and people on ‘the road of vocal recovery’, a global epidemic of silenced song is being met by an irrepressible uprising of the primal urge to sing. Whether you adamantly believe you can’t sing or absolutely love the sound of your own voice, a diversity of perspectives brings hope, humor and possibility to this intimate yet universal phenomenon, with imagery of flowing water and birdsong woven throughout, echoing the natural flow of creativity.

 

 

 

Including after-film singing with special guest artist Vaughn Montgomery
