MuscleMusic Feedback
“I wish I had this knowledge as a young actor and will be using these techniques in the classroom for years to come.”
Adrienne Krystansky
(Actress, Head of Acting Brandeis)
“It is emphatically anti-culty, encouraging self knowledge and putting you in touch with your own experience. So refreshing! For me personally, perhaps this venture’s greatest asset is that it is led by an incredible and experienced artist, who truly gets and resonates with the artist’s dilemma, with all its vast riches, rewards, obstacles, challenges, and dare I say even traumas. In my experience you get vast value out of Muscle Music.”
-Eszter Balint (Indie Film Actress- Voice, Violin)
“By the end of this course I am at 90% belief in myself and my art. My goal is 105%. I am getting closer and I am so glad I took the plunge and did this course!!”
-Callie Cooper (Soprano)
“My nervous system needs to be cared for in order to be a whole, healthy person. There are actual,
practical tools I can use to direct my nervous system into a different state.”
Hannah Jackson (Musical Theater Actress)
“I will also say, one of the things that excites me about this work is its flexibility.
This methodology isn’t asking individuals to bend to a set of rules, but to tune into their own rules on a core level.”
Marina Blue Jarrette (Actor, Director, Singer)
“The work you do is so valuable and needed for artists. If those in the arts have a better understanding of this work imagine the ripple effects this can have.”
Dana Lewis (Voice Coach, Singer)
“As my therapist says, this has been a Fast Pass on the road of my healing and recovery! glad I took the plunge and did this course!!”
-Deepshikha Sairam (Writer)
“The biggest realization the Fox Method has provided me is a sense of peace in my work as a musician.”
Leah Addington (Music Therapist, Musician)
