Contemporary Commercial Voice Technique, Pedagogy, and Practices
Thursday 28th November 2024, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
The short course is firmly rooted in the study of Contemporary Commercial Voice Technique, Pedagogy, and Practices. CCM singers face challenges in receiving appropriate training, academic opportunities, and professional support and are often discriminated against. Lyudmyla Heath used a Scoping Review method aimed to collate and synthesise current peer-reviewed research to provide an evidence-based foundation for further CCM voice pedagogy and performance development, driven by the main research question, “What is known from the peer-reviewed literature about the pedagogy and stylistic application of CCM voice technique?”
Key concepts:
- Voice function
Understand the anatomy, physiology, acoustics and biomechanics of the vocal system.
- Stylistic applications
Understand the fundamental concepts that underpin healthy CCM voice production in legit, mix and belt voice techniques, voice registers and resonance, and vocal onset.
- Pedagogical approaches
Explore various pedagogical approaches related to CCM voice pedagogy. Description, comparison and application of The Estill Voice Method, The Somatic Voicework Method, The Complete Vocal Technique, The Voiceworks Method, The Vocal Power Method, and The Seth Riggs Method.
- Vocal Health Empowerment
Review common vocal health challenges and explore opportunities for CCM voice training that can empower CCM singers to navigate all the challenges effectively.
- SOVTE Vocal Exercises
