Robert Price is a voice teacher, director, and level five advanced clinical massage therapist specialising in the voice and jaw. He trained in voice studies at the Central School of Speech and Drama before teaching and directing in many drama schools and currently serves voice users at his Vocal Massage London and at the Voice Care Centre. Robert teaches vocal massage to other teachers, osteopaths, physiotherapists, and SLTs, and he's here to help us understand how we can perform massage on ourselves and guide our clients in self-massage in the studio.

KEY MOMENTS 

"The fundamental value of massage is to move people from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state."

"The benefits of vocal massage are subjective. It usually helps people, but quite what's happening within that is about the person."

"Consent and safety are at the heart of manual therapy. The person should have agency over the touch and feel comfortable throughout the session."
