Beginning September 16th, Patricia Causey begins teaching a 4-week Voice Workshop on Tuesdays at the Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Center in Ocean Springs. Useful for actors, teachers, announcers, and voice-over artists as well as singers, this extended workshop, “VOX: Vocal Techniques for Performance and Longevity” is a series of valuable classes for anyone who wants to sing or make their living with their Voice.
The Latin word for “voice”, Ms. Causey uses VOX to represent Vocal Objectives & ‘XercisesTM. The VOX Workshop consists of techniques for extending range, increasing power, and the overall health of the vocal instrument then ventures into style, choosing repertoire, and performance techniques. Both lecture and participation, this extended workshop provides an overview of important topics for the protection and longevity of the Voice, including male- and female-specific exercises, full-body warm-ups, and vocal cool-downs.
Each participant will work on a song in each class and perform it for the class the last night.

Synopsis: Are you confused by the myths and misconceptions you've come
to associate with the Salem Witch Trials? The same medieval myths
manipulated by the town’s officials to propagate the trials and executions
of ordinary people for their own political and economic gain? 
If so, you're not the only one.....in short, the Witch Trials of Salem,
Massachusetts, had little to do with witches at all.
