Healthy Singing & Vocal Technique

 

At the heart of good vocal performance is technique that enables the singer to learn sing freely and comfortably with no outer muscular tension, and an ability to sing through all registers of the voice with no breaks.

Vocal Training coordinates and strengthens the vocal chords and will increase range and flexibility, while also enhancing your own natural tone quality and vibrato. 

 

Good posture is also important and will enable good breathing techniques to become a natural part of your singing technique.

 

We will work with individuals within each group using techniques that will immediately improve the tonal quality of the individual natural voice.  You will be able to develop muscles that cultivate the best tone your body can produce.

 

You will learn ~

  • Vocal exercises that coordinate and strengthen muscles used for singing and speaking
  • Vocal exercises that bridge breaks and cracks in the voice
  • Vocal exercises that increase range while connecting the chest, middle and head voice without strain
  • Vocal exercises that enhance tone quality
  • Enhanced breathing techniques and good posture
  • How to produce vowels that help the voice to blend
  • Accents
  • Musical Styles
  • How to sing in Harmony
  • Sight-Reading

 

 

 

Vocal Technique

 

To establish a sound singing technique you will work on breathing and control of breath, pure vowels, posture,  eliminating tension.
