Vocal Workshops

Program description

Healthy singing and performing techniques are demonstrated in collaborative settings through our vocal workshops:  Opera-ting for theatrical performing and Singing For Success for a choral environment. Our Resident Artists will demonstrate healthy singing techniques through performance, as well as discussion/teaching. These workshops can be tailored to the desires of the presenting organization. We can work with your students on specific skills, including breathing, diction, interpretation, etc. upon request. The theatrical workshop also adds staging and other dramatic interpretive elements
