- Emphasize correct posture (body and facial) – Your body is your instrument!
- Become a master of breathing and supporting the escape of air.
- Eliminate muscular tension in the tongue (one of the strongest muscles in the body!), jaw and neck. They all work together.
- Focus on healthy vocal fold closure which maintaining an open throat.
- Align your vocal registers so that you have 1 seamless voice.
- Optimize your resonance, developing more bloom and vocal presence. Develop an exquisite balance of color and ring (chiaroscuro), height and depth, and other tonal choices.
- Voice building: develop a more powerful voice in the most efficient way possible (meaning less “vocal effort” and fatigue).
- Finally, apply your technique to your chosen songs. We work on bringing the song to life through musical and dramatic expression, plus stage presence, and making it yours!
