Choral Trainings – Building Sound Communities
Voicework, shared sound and song is becoming increasingly popular whether it’s the creation of new local choirs, voice workshops, sound healing research, or the X-Factor watched by millions every week. The Naked Voice focuses on the full power and passion of your voice freely expressed, without self-consciousness or fear.
This new NV performance training explores the power of shared sound, song and silence to awaken the heart, inspired by devotional chant, sacred mantra, deep non-judgemental listening, healing breath work, energy movement and the magical ‘seven sounds of love’. The focus of the training will be accessing ‘presence’ or the true spirit of performance.

Singing Our Way Home!
By the end of the training we will have harmonised and rehearsed a playlist of chants and songs. Singing together in this way will quieten the mind, open the heart and transmit the highest of human values – harmony, co-operation and compassion, elevating the human spirit and uniting our community beyond race or creed.

The Singing Fields of London: A One Year Choral Training - Spring 2011-2012
Sounding A New World Into Being
Chloe and her Naked Voice Facilitator team are developing ongoing workshops in London focusing on the choral voice, and how our shared sound can respond to the challenges of everyday life with renewed confidence, courage and compassion. At the heart of this singing journey together, is the Singing Field, a unique meeting place where every voice is heard. What started as a one-year choral training has now evolved into a course of 3 or 4 weekends at a time. This, we are discovering, is a much more accessible way of learning the Naked Voice skills and how to transform the way we live and work. These communication skills are the essential elements of a new language of awareness anchored in non-judgemental listening, which will lead to the co-creation of a London Singing Field.

Dublin 2011-12: A One Year Choral Training
After the huge success of the Dublin 2010-11 One Year Training, the 2011-12 Training is now being launched. The aim of this project is to build the biggest Irish Singing Field to date. By the end of the training we will have harmonised and rehearsed a playlist of chants and songs. Singing together in this way will quieten the mind, open the heart and transmit the highest of human values – harmony, co-operation and compassion, elevating the human spirit and uniting our community.
International singer Chloë Goodchild, founder of the Naked Voice, has been using the power of voice to transform people’s lives for decades. Deafness in childhood led to her fascination with the singing voice as a vehicle for authentic expression. According to Chloë “This is my life's passion, the creation of unique meeting places, 'singing fields', where individuals, organisations, and communities can unite together in a spirit of shared sound, song and deep listening, beyond culture and creed.”
