Improve your voice with personalized sessions combining technique, mentorship, and performance tips

The Student and Tutor initiated a new singing lesson, focusing on Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour." They performed vocal warm-ups, analyzed the song's lyrics for meaning and emotional content, and discussed how to emphasize key words. The Student was assigned to learn the lyrics and melody for the upcoming session.

The Student and Tutor focused on the technique of belting in singing, defining what it entails and practicing specific vocal exercises. They worked on an "NG"/"hung" sound exercise to understand vocal placement and body connection, applying these concepts to a song. The Student was encouraged to practice these techniques, including incorporating physical movements like squatting, and to explore belting examples in songs like those from 'Grease' for the next session.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a singing lesson primarily focusing on the concept and application of Vibrato (VBR) and contrasting it with straight tone. They practiced various vocal warm-ups, learned to activate and control VBR through physical analogies, and explored its different applications across jazz, musical theater, and operatic styles. The Tutor assigned no specific homework but encouraged the Student to listen to a linked song ("Lullaby of Birdland") before the next session, preparing for future lessons where they will start working on full songs.

The Tutor introduced and explained VBR (Vibrato) as a vocal technique, detailing its definition, purpose, and different applications across various musical genres. The Student practiced vocal warm-ups and exercises designed to produce VBR, focusing on breath support and jaw movement. They also analyzed musical examples to identify where VBR was used stylistically and functionally. The Tutor mentioned that more VBR exercises would be explored in the next session.

The tutor and student focused on vocal technique, specifically breath control and breath management for singing. They practiced exercises to sustain vocal phrases and explored the concept of moving on vowels. The lesson also touched on identifying and applying different vocal registers like chest voice and belting.

The student and tutor reviewed and practiced identifying different vocal positions (chest, mix, head, belting, nasal) within songs. They worked on breath support and applied these concepts to analyze vocal techniques in excerpts from Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Disney songs, and Whitney Houston, with the student demonstrating a strong understanding. Homework was assigned to analyze vocal positions in a Michael Jackson song.
