Singing is the most natural thing for a human being to want to do; it may even have pre-dated language as a means of communication. There is also increasing evidence about its health benefits for both body and mind. And feeling your voice fly – whether you’re singing round the house or performing to a large audience – is one of life’s great joys. So you have every reason to want to sing.
But what if the voice you produce isn’t really the best version of you, the version you want to share with the world?
The human voice is an instrument, arguably the most amazing instrument on the planet. If you wanted to perform on any other instrument you would expect to take lessons in how to play it correctly, and then put in the practice until you mastered it. Yet, unless you want to be a professional classical singer, there is a general feeling that singing does not require any training.
There are some lucky people, including even a tiny handful of well-known professional classical singers, who famously ‘never had a lesson in their life’, whose vocal technique as supplied by nature required no improvement. But for most of us, learning good singing technique, and just as importantly avoiding bad singing technique, makes a huge difference to how we sound and therefore how much we enjoy singing.
It’s also all too easy to accumulate bad habits over time that lead to vocal problems. Even if your voice is coping at the moment, you may well be producing it in a way that is storing up problems for the future.
This course will teach you both how best to use your voice and how to avoid vocal problems. Part One contains:
We hope you enjoy the journey.
