Singing: The Serious Fun of Skill Building

A very interactive workshop that unpacks the many different skills at play when we come together to sing as a group. It’s never too late to sing better.

Topics include:

  • Alignment – where most vocal problems have their origin
  • Tension – don’t let it take a terrible toll on your tone
  • Your voice’s motor: the breathing mechanism
  • Resonance – developing a rich, full sound
  • Developing a unit sound
