“Contemporary Commercial (Pop) Music celebrates the individual artist and their voice. Whether you’re hoping to develop the power of Celine Dion or Freddie Mercury, the agility of Beyoncé or the individuality of Sam Smith we’re going to look at the basics of contemporary voice technique as well as the more advanced skills needed to sing with your own voice, with confidence and accuracy. Over the course of the day, we’ll look at how posture and breathing impact on your singing, how to effectively warm up and develop efficient articulation, how to improve your pitching, range, resonance, agility and power, ultimately working towards a masterclass setting where we can spend time on individual song choices.” – David Combes
