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.
