Classical Vocal Pedagogy a Model Based Approach
Wednesday 5th February 2025, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (London Time)
In this short course we will look a the differences between a model and a method as an appropriate basis for teaching classical voice. Some historical background will be given but the course will focus on how Janice Chapman’s Singing and Teaching Singing model can be used for both remediation of voice difficulties and developmental teaching. The core components of her model, primal sound, postural alignment and breathing and support will be covered in some detail. A brief overview of the other components of her model, resonance, phonation and the speaking voice, articulation and artistry and performance will also be given.

Exploring the roots of the tongue: Ideas for performance
Walt Fritz
As a relative outsider looking into the voice and performance world, I witness the bell curve of thoughts and actions on how the tongue contributes to voice problems and how best to tame that tension. Traditional ways of taming tongue tension seem adequate (or would seem so, based on feedback), so what is different and new? In this short course for the Voice Study Centre, Walt Fritz will introduce the learner to variations on self-applied tongue stretches and exercises.

Emotion and Performing Accents and Dialects: why does Emotion Get in the Way?
Louisa Morgan
At points of heightened emotion, it is common for actors working in an accent to default to their natural speech. How do we help performers to avoid this issue and provide them and their directors with the confidence they need regardless of the emotional demands of the piece? What can we learn from research in vocal expression of emotion to help actors to embody the emotion and keep control of their voice and accent? Our very own Louisa Morgan will guide participants through the latest research and offer practical suggestions for working with performers needing to navigate this challenge.
