An Exploration of Mixing
Thursday 11th January 2024, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
The blending of registers can allow a seamless transition across the vocal range; it can bring richness and power into the upper range, resulting in an even, balanced tone. By exploring resonance strategies and optimum laryngeal flexibility, singers can develop the skills necessary to move not only between registers, but between genres with confidence and ease.
Following on from the success of the 'An Exploration of Belting' workshop in August 2023, this class will explore mixing from various viewpoints, taking into account both scientific and functional perspectives.
Expect to leave with a deeper understanding of mixing, including new exercises and approaches.

Inspired Sound: Unlocking the Science of Choral Acoustics
Professor Helena Daffern
In this session, Professor Helena Daffern will explore the fascinating science behind choral sound, offering choir singers and directors valuable insights into achieving a cohesive and expressive ensemble, no matter what their standard. The concept of choral blend will be examined —what it is, how it can be cultivated, and the roles of intonation and vibrato will be analysed. The decisions that have to be made around intonation when tuning thirds or dealing with modulations over the course of an a cappella piece will be explained in the context of existing research and different singing styles such as barbershop singing and solo voice ensembles.

Unclenching the Jaw: Options from the Physio Lens
Walt Fritz
“Jaw tension” is one of many potential problems facing the singer, and can cause a direct negative impact on the performance in both direct and indirect ways. The underlying cause of jaw issues is attributed to numerous factors (technique, posture, strength, range of motion, etc.), making it often difficult to identify common denominators. Join Walt Fritz as he examines the evidence supporting stretching, strengthening, and manual therapy interventions to address jaw-related concerns in vocal performers, taking into account their unique needs.
