Vocal Coaching workshop
You've seen Pop Idol and X-Factor and you're sure you can do better? Come and learn vocal warm-ups, techniques used by the stars, learn about harmony and different singing styles before learning and performing a song to a backing track.
The Vocal coaching workshop works well alongside the Music and the Music Industry, guitar and drumming workshops. When these workshops are held all together, it is possible to end a whole day of events with a free-for-all "jam session" using the instruments, new-found vocal skills and inspiration provided by the unlocking of the secrets of the music business!
This workshop is for absolute beginners as well as those who have had some singing experience. Participants will learn some general information about the science behind the voice, whether spoken or sung as well as other technical lessons like how to look after your voice, warm up and use it safely. Learn techniques like how to improve range and stamina as well as performance skills like song interpretation and delivery. The technical stuff is done in a fun, informative way often through practical tasks and games.
It doesn't matter what your musical preference is, in this workshop different music and vocal styles are explored. Discover your personal favourite and how to improve and get the most out of your singing.
We encourage people to seek further help and training with their singing if it is really something they would like to pursue and offer information on what to do should they like to take things further. This is a fun and creative extra-curricular activity but could also result in gigs and performances and a taste for future careers moves.
