Petra Borzynski Coaching

  • Package
Book Now
This package has been specifically created with VOICE USERS in mind (please don't choose it if you are not a singer, actor/voice actor, professional speaker or otherwise use your voice in a performance context). It doesn't have a voice coaching element like FLOW and is therefore suitable for:

  • Performers who had voice coaching and already know it doesn't help with their particular problem
  • People who have experienced what they'd call a catastrophic audition, public failure, a breakdown mid-performance etc.
  • Performers who can't find their way back after a career break
  • Clinical-level performance anxiety that coaching hasn't fixed so far (the kind that interferes with how you function both in a performance context and in your private life)
  • Musical theatre performers, classical singers, actors etc. struggling with the psychological fallout of 'audition culture': repeated rejection, typecasting, the 'feast-famine'-cycle
  • Anyone for whom the performing identity and the self have become fused ("when I'm not working, I don't know who I am")

Testimonials

Over the past 6 weeks, working with [Petra], I have been engaging with somatic experiencing: feeling and hearing rather than dictating my reactions, allowing my body to participate in, even to direct, my choices. I really
recommend this as a way forward if you're stuck in mind or body. Nothing works for everyone, and most practices work in
combination - this is a tool l'm so happy to add to my collection. At a basic level, the somatic work has reconnected me to my experience of the fight, flight, freeze responses. I have fresh understanding of my own reactions. There is so much to this work. It's brought enormous clarity to my needs and desires at a time of great change and uncertainty. It's eased my daily experience of life, revealed and explained the quality of my relationships - with acquaintances old and new. It's given me new perspectives on others' behaviour, helped me to connect with my little boy and to be alive to his connection and ways of communicating. It's wrought tiny benefits to my day that have made huge changes to my life. It's filtered the distortion of my thoughts into clear sound. Somatic experiencing work is new to me, and I won't be putting it to one side. The pairing of body and mind have never been clearer to me. I'll ignore the former again at my peril.

If you are in a new mental space - where you have time and interest in exploring your physical and mental status and connection, especially regarding singing - then I highly recommend this program. Petra Borzynski is really special in her understanding of singers and our mental states.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between FLOW (voice coaching) and TRANSCEND (therapeutic coaching)?
Flow's psychological elements exist in service of the voice work: You mostly want to improve as a singer/performer, and the psychological support is integrated into that goal. There will be voice work during these sessions, though not as much as during regular voice coaching.
Transcend operates from a therapeutic coaching/therapy angle (hence six instead of five sessions): Your life as a voice performer is only the context, and little to no vocal technique work happens during these sessions, other than being aware that voice and body function as a somatic map (what's tightening, what shuts down, what does my body know before my mind catches up etc.).
Does this package have an expiry?
Yes. The whole idea of this package is that you commit to change and put in the work needed. That’s why the sessions of the package will expire after four months (exceptions can be negotiated on an individual basis but are not a given—please consider that I have to plan my availability accordingly when someone commits to a package, and stretching it out indefinitely interferes with the work I do with my other clients).
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. This package is also available in two instalments at a slight surcharge (+£25) to cover the risk of default payments.
