The guest speaker today was Dot Todman introduced by PE Benjamin Fisher.
Celebrity Vocal Coach, Dot Todman is a
Singer/Songwriter, Certified Teacher, Speaker
and the original Vocal Empowerment Coach,
known for her ability to go beyond helping
people to transform their voice.
She began teaching music at the age of 14,
earned three degrees in Theatre Arts Education,
Psychology and Music, plus a teaching certificate, and has since taught in schools, written and directed for choirs of more than 300 people, and coached celebrity singers, actors and speakers of all ages & style for over 20 years.
After surviving a debilitating medical accident, Dot committed to a path of self-healing by applying chakra awareness along with mental discipline, positive thinking and daily breathing exercises.
This experience helped her create C.O.R.E Vocal Power®, the revolutionary method that addresses a variety of vocal issues, helping anyone fall in love with their voice and perform far beyond their own expectation. Dot left us with two very important messages, “Embrace Your uniqueness and let your voice set you free” and, “Where energy goes, life grows”!
Dot had everyone up singing and dancing, harmonizing with each other learning to love their voice. Even Phil Gabriel grudgingly volunteered to join her at the front of the room to demonstrate how we connect with ourselves to give us more control over ourselves. Music plays a big role but, Dot’s take is that the body,
soul and mind are what govern us daily.
It was a fun, energizing and entertaining presentation that all in attendance participated in. Thank you, Dot, for a wonderful presentation.
