Demystifying Vocal Placement: A framework for Developing Resonance Strategies?
Thursday 25th May 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
In this practical class, Chris will take you through the process that is at the core of his teaching approach: resonance.
Specifically, how he's adapted speech techniques to be appropriate to CCM singing training, and how sensation is an organiser of the vocal tract.
This will even call into play the misunderstood, and unnecessarily slated, sense of ‘placement’, which can have an important role to play if it’s used in the right way.
