sampleCourse-F

Voice study is the secret to success for many contemporary vocal artists. Vocal Techniques 101 is an introductory course designed to teach you how to make your voice sound more powerful, how to use vocal technique to expand your range and expression, and how to become more confident in vocal performances. This course is a fantastic starting point for anyone wanting to make the most of their voice.

Through guided study using video demonstrations, animated illustrations, and hundreds of recorded examples, the course explores how to sing with more freedom, sing simple harmonies, have better breath control, and understand how to take care of your voice. Each week, you will work with melody prep tracks designed to teach you melodic independence as well as sing-along tracks with rhythm section accompaniment. You'll learn effective warm-up and practice routines, and ways to address performance anxiety, move on stage, and use microphones. As the course progresses, you'll gain the skills to sing in various styles with greater facility and awareness.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Sing with consistent, accurate intonation
  • Develop coordinated breath support to help stamina and increase control
  • Demonstrate a free-tone quality with minimum tension
  • Establish beneficial practice habits to help growth and development
  • Take care of your voice
  • Use simple melodic embellishment
  • Sing in harmony
