About this course. Your voice is an amazing and delicate instrument, and breathing is the foundation of singing. In this class, you will learn how your instrument is built and how to use it efficiently and make the most of it when expressing your inner feelings through music. Beyond correct breathing techniques and proper use of vocal registers, a singer’s career depends on technology. The stage and the recording studio are two very different worlds that demand specific skills and knowledge of gear. In this class, you will gain insight into both environments from the different standpoints of a professional singer, a music producer, a vocal coach, and a professional recording engineer. Many good singers compete online, but a good voice with excellent intonation is only half the battle. Record companies want unique singing styles, crafty voices with character, and exciting tones. This class will give you specific guidelines to develop your unique style through creative phrasing, dynamics, tone, and articulation. You will learn how to deliver lyrics in meaningful ways to touch your listeners. Lauren Silva is an experienced vocal coach, a talented singer and songwriter, and a record producer. She has vast working experience as a live performer and a recording artist.
