This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn more about their voice and how to control it – experience level is utterly irrelevant! Workshop attendees will learn about the fluid dynamics of their body’s vocal system. This work will strengthen their voice for both solo and ensemble work, and they will see changes in clarity of tone, breath longevity and, most importantly, give them a set of tools to use in their own musical endeavours/careers that will benefit them for a lifetime.

As a performer, you may have wondered about the “it factor” that separates a talented musician from a genuine showstopper. What is “it”? How do you get “it”? When do you know that you’ve got “it”? This workshop will explore all of those questions and more. We will choose 1-2 participants to undergo the “it” discovery process and demonstrate their new found power to own the stage. Spoiler alert! This workshop is for every performer, not just soloists.
