Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present a holistic approach to voice and train-ing on its correct projection. The holistic approach does not focus only on the voice itself, but points at the body as an instrument of voice production, led by the breath-ing apparatus, a set of resonators, and speech organs, but also awareness of one’s own voice and psychosomatic condition of the body, etc. In this approach, the whole person is an instrument, and the effect is his/her voice, which he/she brings out of the body. Following this path, we intend to present an innovative DVT (DoctorVox Voice Therapy) method, which is still poorly recognized in Poland. It focuses on a comprehensive, holistic model for improving voice projection based on the needs of the individual. It is a process approach, assuming stages through which a person developing his/her voice skills should be conducted. At the same time, the intention of the authors of the publication is to present the proposal of workshops inspired by the DVT method, during which the participants of postgraduate studies had the op-portunity to experience a constructivist model of improving their own competences. Their opinions, reflections, and effects with which they completed the 15-hour course are included in the final part of the article, that illustrates the reaction of teachers to the proposed method in the process of improving the voice quality and projection.
