The human voice is critical to our physical, emotional, and mental well-being and that using your voice for creative expression and professional development can only enhance your life and make you a better more effective communicator.

Milligan Vocal Arts Institute is an educational resource center for those who use their voices creatively and professionally. Our purpose is to merge voice, art, and technology with a special focus on the education and health of the human voice. Our flagship program is called, Sonic Signatures For Actors. This program was designed to help actors create authentic, compelling and believable characters in film roles. Using years of original scientific research, Dr. Cindy Milligan created a theory called Sonic Vocality, which explains the phenomenon of the actor’s use of voice in character portrayal. This unique program is based on how audiences hear, receive, process information, and understand characters. Dr. Milligan’s Sonic Vocality program teaches actors to use their voices to deliver memorable authentic film characters.

MVAI is a fun, creative, safe environment for actors to learn, perform and collaborate. We take the voice very seriously, but we have fun while doing so.
