Crosstraining for vocal health

The current buzzword in vocal pedagogy is crosstraining. Nowadays singers are expected to sing in more than just one style for the whole of their careers, and long-term one-sided use of the muscles involved in singing can be detrimental to the health and functionality of the vocal organism. Crosstraining addresses both these concerns.

What does crosstraining mean?

1. In sport, it means training in different disciplines in order to strengthen the performance capacity of many different muscles.
2. In the world of work it means giving management trainees experience in all areas of the company, as well as job rotation of skilled workers to achieve multiple qualifications.
3. Applied to voice training, it means a pedagogical approach that helps overcome weaknesses in the singer’s vocal technique, by applying exercises and repertoire from different genres to strengthen all parts of the vocal range and increase the flexibility and reliability of the voice.

In this workshop, we will discover the main differences between vocal styles and experiment with some of the functional elements involved in crosstraining for vocal health.
