Popular Singing Styles: Developing Your Sound
You’ve been studying the greats, working on improving your vocal skills, and building vocal technique. Now it’s time to take the next step as you put yourself out there. You want to shine as a vocalist. You want to have something really special; something that stands out as uniquely you. This course will help you define the music that you want to make: What is your message? How are you different from your favorite artists? What makes you who you are?
Through the curriculum and a healthy amount of personal exploration, you will find the answers to these questions, while developing a keen ear for style to develop your sound. You’ll learn how to shape your voice for tone and style, and learn which keys suit your voice best. You’ll become more skilled at vocal technique, including breath management, placement, belting, soft singing, and other proficiencies to bring out the very best in your own voice. You’ll learn how your voice actually works anatomically in different registers. You’ll gain more mastery over your singing voice, enabling you to make artistic choices as you develop and refine your sound. You’ll learn how to work with a live rhythm section, and how a vocalist should run an effective rehearsal.
Throughout Popular Singing Styles, assignments combine interactive exercises and singing opportunities. We listen closely to songs to find out what makes them pop. We learn how to get comfortable with different accompaniments. We shape your vocal to bring out the best elements in your style, such as when to belt, or not to belt; how to use vibrato, or straight tone. We also demystify the vocalist’s secret weapon: mix voice. We explore genres such as rock, pop, R&B, and jazz, as you decide where in the spectrum of popular music you want to land as a singer.
After 12 weeks you will have built your own style toolkit, creating an individualized final project that will help you launch your singing career.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Define and launch your personalized musical style
- Sing with more confidence, skill, and expression
- Lead a rhythm section confidently and effectively
- Train your ear for more accurate singing and listening skills
- Improve your vocal technique, including breathing, and belting
- Understand anatomical facts about how your voice works
