TRAINING
Voice Training
The Sound Singing Institute offers private voice training in an Upper Kirby (central Houston) studio just off Alabama. An initial consultation is required prior to ongoing sessions. The initial consultation is comprised of an in depth vocal history interview, vocal health education and intervention, a detailed technical evaluation and exercises to begin the training pathway.
Styles
Professional voice users work in a wide range of disciplines and genres. The professional voice user who is a singer may choose to use his/her vocal instrument as a singer/music educator, a singer/choral director, professional singer (opera; oratorio; musical theatre; clubs- pop/rock, jazz, country, mariachi, salsa), or as a professional actor/singer (theatre) but to name a few. Each discipline demands peak vocal performance for longevity of career.
In order to have a healthy singing voice, it is important to know how to do the following:
Sing with healthy technique (i.e., balancing airflow, phonation, resonance, articulation, agility),
Sing in the correct voice category/range,
Sing in the correct tessitura (pitch area where voice comfortably sits),
Choose music that has a tessitura (pitch area) and range that matches one’s own tessitura and range and
Sing the genre of music with the healthiest possible stylistic tools.
