Class Experience
What is Pop / ROCK singing? Singing the words as closely to speech as possible. So not the lengthened vowels and clipped consonants classical singing. And sing the words as if you mean them. Emotion and communication are key. Often this means singing in your 'speech quality' voice rather than your upper register.Pop/ ROCK inflections aren't an add-on. They're there to aid the expression of the song. Ditto dynamics and taking breaths: sometimes we take a breath in a pop song not because we've run out of breath, but because it's the right moment for the song. Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced My main goal for you is to help you strengthen and protect your voice while giving you the confidence to take your singing to the next level - and from there? - consistently progress. I will help you achieve control and artistry and give you the tools to reach your particular pop vocal goals. In this class I can help you with all your pop Vocal needs , from beginner through professional levels and cover a wide range of technique and performance coaching : In this Pop singing class I will be covering - vocal technique, performance coaching, warm-ups, ear training, pitch control, breath control, phrasing, dynamics, active listening, diaphragm support, tone creation, sound placement, blending registers, break elimination, runs , riffs, song interpretation, vocal performance, repertoire, medleys & mash-ups, stamina & agility, stage presence, and vocal health, Can't wait to start with you !
