Contemporary Commercial Style Vocal Training. Perfect for: beginners wanting to explore the possibilities of their voice; advanced singers stuck in a rut; classical singers wanting to explore contemporary styles; producers wanting to sing on their own tracks; songwriters who want to be singer songwriters; instrumentalists’ wanting to add singing. 01. A Secure Technique. The foundation of your singing. Control your voice enough to be able to sing in the way you choose. √ Get to the root of your singing weak areas - not always what you think they are. √ Sing through your range with fluid ease. Big jumps become an enjoyable challenge rather than an ‘oh no it’s coming’ moment. √ Control the beginning and ends of your phrases for a finer, more professional result. √ Learn how to recognise anxiety in your voice - how it affects your singing, when it gets triggered, and how to turn it to your advantage. 02. Phrasing. Draw out your musicianship, make decisions around how you choose to use your voice. √ Go to the dark side - why ugly can be as meaningful as pretty. √ Learn how to float around the pulse or sit convincingly in the groove. √ How to use dynamics and vocal quality as your toolkit. √ How and when to use brightness and lift, and mellow warmth to bring contrast and shape. 03. Interpretation. Who you are, and what you have to say. This stuff gets more interesting with age. √ Remembering what each particular song is for, and how we can build on that in our delivery. √ How the construction of the word itself can help put over your meaning. √ Shift between your natural energy levels and more unfamiliar aspects √ When to add and, perhaps more interestingly, when to leave out or take away.
