Your voice is your most valuable communication tool and can be pivotal in getting you what you want in life. Still, most people have never received training in how to maximize their vocal potential. Many believe that the voice you are born with cannot be changed. This couldn't be further from the truth! The vocal muscles are like all other muscles in the body and they can be strengthened. Did you know that the way you use your voice can make you sound more or less competent to potential employers? Research has also shown that using your voice in specific ways can actually improve your mood! Working on your voice could help you make friends or ask someone out on a date! Does giving a presentation make you nervous? Do you not like the sound of your voice when you hear it on a recording? This course will be valuable to all students, no matter what their field of interest.
Students will learn exercises that they can practice to improve vocal tone, power, and endurance. Students will be given the opportunity to work on both their speaking and singing voices. The voice has been called the muscle of the soul. When you train your voice, you will often make leaps forward on your inner journey as a person. There couldn't be a better way to start your college experience than by training your voice!
Day 1 Syllabus: Introduction to proper breathing, vocal clarity, melody, pacing, resonance, and articulation. Students will practice exercises as a group and have the opportunity to receive individual coaching.
Day 2 Syllabus: Application of skills learned on Day 1 to real-world situations. Students will then have the opportunity to take their voice training to the next level with an introduction to singing!
