Vocal Technique & Performance Class Description
Every class begins with stretching the body and breathing exercises to get the body prepared for singing. Then Speech Level Singing® (SLS) vocalises are applied to the voice as warm-ups for proper vocal functioning in the SLS methodology. Each student receives a pre-recorded compact disc of SLS vocalises for daily practice during the weeks. (However, students who are studying privately should use their private lesson CDs, as the vocal exercises given there are a more appropriate "prescription" to cure any bad habits and advance the student. Private lessons are encouraged to achieve the fastest vocal development.) After group warm-ups, each student sings solos of their choice and receives constructive and supportive feedback from classmates and the instructor to improve technique, style and overall performance. The class is always very supportive and the instructor makes sure all are sharing constructive and honest feedback towards the goal of improvement.
The second and third classes of the series are very important. In week two, a one-and-a-half hour lecture and class discussion is engaged regarding the voice's functionality and why the Speech Level Singing Technique® is very successful. The topic is entitled "Getting To Know Your Vocal Instrument." Utilization of certain SLS tools is covered to explain how the technique enhances vocal tone, strength, ease, range, agility, vibrato, confidence, and achieves vocal balance, making it easier to sing. In week three, a one-and-a-half hour lecture and class discussion is engaged regarding Mic Technique, Stage Presence & Vocal Performance. The topic is entitled "Using Your Spirit In Vocal Performance". Secrets are given in how to touch an audience with emotion. Please be in attendance for these two weeks...
