About
The Class
We all love to sing but only if it’s in the car with the windows
up and the radio really loud! Epidemic: An Exploration of the Voice is
a weekly series that is designed to bring the joy of singing back to your
life. Each session will begin with a crash course in a specific area of
the voice moving from vocal technique to rhythm to vocal percussion/beatbox
to harmony to musical structures to songwriting/composition and back again.
Vocalstration
JamOUT:
The rest of each session will be spent applying these ideas and more in
a guided vocal jam using Dwayne Calizo’s Vocalstration technique
to build confidence in our vocal ability while having fun with the process.
Let’s break the windows together so everyone can hear us sing!
