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.

On the Nose: Nasality as Percept and Physical Reality
Nicholas Perna
This course will address three perspectives on nasality: distinctions between nasal airflow and audio signal (velopharyngeal opening) and perception; deciphering between the two timbral qualities commonly related to nasality - twang and honk - and which are related to velopharyngeal opening; and the pedagogic usefulness of velopharyngeal opening to reduce laryngeal instabilities near points of registration shifts.
