About the Masterclass
Singing is a long-life journey to understand the mystery of the voice and the mechanisms of the body and its singing potential. It is about finding the centre, the core of the voice that like an atom, will radiate.
Western Classical Singing Technique in particular is built on endless research and studies of methodologies for singers to develop a technique that allows them to comfortably perform in huge concert halls with thousands of people, without any amplification.
A weekend where we will try to observe and understand basic mechanisms of Western Classical voice technique practice and theory, through both group and private sessions.
