TECHNIQUE
One of the most contentious topics for singers of all
musical styles - how much technique should you have, and
will it get in the way of my music?
If you know what you want
with the song, but your voice won't obey you, that's when you need to know what to do, how
to do it and when to do it. That's technique. We will
help you discover what you do and don't know about how your
voice works, and how to get it to do what you want.
EMOTION/STORY
You might be a skilled singer, but perhaps
you can't find your way into the song. Listeners might
say "what a lovely voice" but you want to tell the story
or find the powerful emotions of a song or a character.
You'll find ways on this course to express yourself more
honestly and openly, and give deeper, more meaningful
performances.
AUTHENTICITY
You are looking for more ideas about what YOUR version
of the song might be. You don't want to do it like
everyone else, and the person on the recording isn't
using your voice!
On this Retreat you'll discover ways of accessing your
personal twist on the song, and get the confidence to
sing it "your way".
REPERTOIRE
You might have a very good idea of what you'd like to
sing, but does it suit you? Does your voice match your
energy, your physique and your "look"? And is your
singing getting you the jobs?
On this Retreat you'll understand how you appear and
sound to people and whether that works for you or not.
You'll get repertoire suggestions and guidance on where
and how to find pieces that might suit you better.
STYLE
It might suit you to sing the same style for the rest of
your life, but what are you missing?
Singing is about the balance between sound, words and
emotions. Different style, different balance.
Uncover
different musical styles that suit you and give yourself
more scope for employment!
YOUR ISSUES
This is the course to bring your particular issues -
whatever you think is holding you back from being more
successful. We will help you tackle whatever is standing
in your way. That might be a bit challenging - but this
is a safe environment in which to explore your
confidence, your image and your sound.
THIS IS AN ENTIRELY BESPOKE
COURSE!
There's a lot more happening on this course, but we
can't tell you what it is because we're going to create
it specifically for you after you arrive.
We are able to offer this unique "bespoke" section
because we're only accepting 5 people, and we've set
aside time to work with you on your specific issues.
We have more than 50 years of problem solving and career
guidance at our fingertips, and we'll both be on hand
to clarify your own vocal practice, and answer your
burning questions.
