Description

In this course, students will learn how to properly use their voice for singing through various fun, educational, and silly warm-up exercises. From learning what an octave is to stretching out your vocal range to warming up different parts of your face to breathing techniques to tongue twisters to vowel sounds to vocal control to finding falsetto and basic harmony to several outside of the box activities, this 'short and sweet' course will give you some basic to intermediate tools to sing with confidence. This means not being shy or embarrassed to sing in public anymore, so you can take the show on the road outside of your shower (where everything sounds great because of the acoustic's in most bathrooms), singing loud (and sometimes soft) and proud for all to enjoy!

I hope this set of videos helps you along your journey in becoming a better singer every day.

Feel free to share this with anyone whom you feel might be interested as I love making a difference in as many people's lives as possible. The more the merrier!

Thank you for taking time out of your day to spend with me here and entrusting me with your singing goals as it means a lot to me.
