The Author – Chloe Goodchild
International singer, founder of The Naked Voice, sound pioneer, innovative educator, recording artist, author for Sounds True and North Atlantic Books.
Drawing from the personal stories of her own life, Chloe Goodchild dissolves the singer / non-singer divide, and reveals the human singing voice as the essential missing link in the evolution of conscious communication. Rather than focusing on the traditional performative role of singing as in entertainment and religion, Chloe restores its rightful presence into the hearts and minds of every human being, through accessible vocal practices that integrate left and right brain, head and heart, leading to a direct experience of your authentic voice. Such singing integrates spoken and sung voice and transforms the busy music of your rational mind into the all-inclusive awareness of your singing soul. Singing becomes a sound awareness practice for communicating creatively and courageously with loving presence.
From deafness and near-death experiences in childhood, to the creation of peace-education in schools, and choral mediation initiatives, Chloe’s ‘no-mind’ awakening as a young adult in India in 1990 expanded her horizons, and transformed her life. She returned to the West to pioneer her own brand of voicework, called The Naked Voice, teaching sound and song as a direct way to access your true self, prior to social conditioning. She has since trained a worldwide network of Naked Voice facilitators to expand this unique voice work in the world. In 2002, Chloe was invited to be musical director for the “Way of Peace” during the visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Belfast, Northern Ireland. She has collaborated with prominent modern day mystics, musicians poets and composers, touring with Rumi poet Coleman Barks, singing the Mother of God for Byzantine composer John Tavener in UK, as well as improvising on TV and film soundtracks for Hollywood film-composer Angelo Badalamenti. Chloe was then invited by Eve Ensler, to direct the music for her acclaimed drama, The Vagina Monologues with 20,000 people in Madison Sq Gardens. She conducted seventy five of the top actresses of the world including Jane Fonda, Glen Close, Queen Latifah and Brooke Shields in her Vulva Choir ! Chloe’s voice awakened in new and unexpected ways whilst singing with her dying father, and at the funeral of her younger sister. This led her to explore the healing power of sound with others who were facing terminal illness and death, helping people to apply the Naked Voice singing practices as a way of dying consciously. Chloe’s sound research inspired national and international mediation initiatives, with international policy-makers; and more recently, within indigenous communities such as the Blackfeet Medicine elders, exploring the healing properties of sound. For 30 years, Chloe has facilitated literally 1000’s of individuals and groups worldwide, sounding and singing in ways that shift one’s attention from a reactive and separate “me-first” way of communicating, to an all-inclusive “we-centred” ultimately unified or “being-centred” existence.
Chloe founded The Naked Voice in 1990, to bring the universal power of voice and sound as an essential listening tool and a unique resource dedicated to the creation of conscious communication skills, accessible to everyone, from our children to our world leaders. The Naked Voice has since grown into an international community of practitioners, facilitators, and creative collaborators who are bringing Chloe’s singing principles and practices into all areas of life. Chloe has created interactive musical gatherings called ‘singing fields’ where everyone can learn to listen, let go, relax, reflect, open and access a wisdom deeper and older than the polarity of all conflict.
Chloe and her NV core team also provide individual sessions, vocal seminars, trainings, and in-depth retreats inspiring sound human values, and caring relationships at an individual, local and global level.
