Getting The House In Order: Training Functional Register For CCM
Thursday 10th November 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
In a functional approach to voice, transitioning seamlessly between the bottom and the top often requires isolation work to be done on the basic registers (a.k.a chest and falsetto).
When teachers can assess how functional the basic registers are, they can create plans to strengthen their coordination before they try to connect them.
In this workshop, Chris will share how he assesses and trains the basic registers to benefit the voice as a whole.
The added benefit is that the passaggio is also much easier to fathom when all registers are functional and contributing!

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.
