Vocal Technique Fundamentals
The online self-study course that will equip you with the technique you need
"A number of students including myself can hear a mark improvement in our singing after David’s coaching/ teaching and I would highly recommend engaging with David to get the best sound from your voice, David is very patient and encourages you to progress and improve your performance"
Singing can feel like a mystery at times
We often can't see or feel exactly what's going on.
This is made worse by an overwhelming amount of information out there, which can at times seem contradictory.
We're born to sing well, but bad habits creep in over time. If we're not using our voice well, we tend to find:
We're working too hard and getting vocally tired quickly
We're running out of breath at the end of phrases
Our high notes feel strained
Our tone is inconsistent and doesn't project well
When we're struggling with technique, it can take the joy out of our passion. It's very common to feel:
Anxious about performing
Afraid to sing solos
Confused about the best way to improve
A sense of embarrassment about your voice
Humans are born to sing
It's one of the best ways of expressing ourselves and letting go
Everyone deserves to experience this and enjoy singing
Benefits of Good Technique
Sing with confidence, in the knowledge that your voice will do what you want it to do.
Singing well makes you feel great; enjoy the high after a performance, and the feeling of community without worrying what your voice can do.
Good technique involves letting go and allowing the voice to flow. This gives you greater freedom and allows you to be more creative.
Good technique gives you an ability to be consistent from day to day, and deliver the performance you can be proud of.
A voice that is functioning well is a naturally beautiful sound.
Singing with good technique allows your natural ability to communicate and tell a story shine through
Module 1: Principles & Vocal Health
This module covers the best way to approach singing and practice, and how to care for your voice so that you prevent vocal health problems.
Module 2: Breath & Support
This module explains how to breathe properly for singing, and what it means to support the voice. It also introduces Accent Method, a speech therapy technique to get the voice and the breath working together. Finally it covers SOVT exercises (with and without a straw), which can help you deliver more power with less vocal effort.
Module 3: Singing With The Whole Body
This module covers postural alignment, flexibility, and explores movement as a way to find greater vocal ease. This can allow us to extend our range and make a more beautiful sound.
Module 4: Articulation & Phonation
This module takes a look at the role of the tongue and jaw, and is full of exercises to find greater release and efficiency. This is designed to produce more resonant vowels, and cleaner consonants.
Module 5: Putting It Into Practice
This module shows you how to draw all the information and exercises together, so that you can use them going forward as a toolkit to improve technique and apply this to music.

Work through the bitesize video lessons in your own time, and come back to them whenever you like.
Follow the practice regime laid out for you, and you'll be on the path to releasing your full vocal potential and giving a great performance.
Not at this stage. I'm from a classical background, so that's my specialism, but I've found these fundamental techniques to be valuable for all singers.
As we become more advanced, there are differences in the way we sing different styles. However this course focuses on the fundamentals, which will give you a great foundation, whichever direction you're going in.
Working on your vocal technique does require time and focus; changing our habits doesn't happen overnight, and professional singers train for many years. Everyone is different, but I'd usually expect to see new technical habits becoming automatic in 6-8 weeks (when following exercises consistently), and your voice will grow over time.
Having said this, I would expect you to notice some benefits straight away. If you're not completely satisfied, I offer a money back guarantee for 30 days.
Absolutely! The training is broken down into bitesize videos, no longer than 10 minutes each. And remember you have lifetime access, so you can revisit the videos as often as you like.
This course is designed for busy people; if you can devote 15 minutes a day, everyday, to exercising (and more whenever you're able), you will start to see results.
It's time to put what you've learned into practice! The final module is focussed on giving you a roadmap for this. It covers how to warm up and develop the voice on a daily basis, and how to use the technical exercises with your songs or arias. I'll show you how to tailor this plan to your own lifestyle to get the best results.
No problem! This course covers the fundamentals of good vocal technique, so it'll suit beginners, as well as those who've been singing for many years but feel they need some help with their technique.
This is a self-study course, so does not include individual feedback. However, as a participant, you will receive a discount on future zoom lessons, and you will have the opportunity to add these on.
