In this 90-minute workshop, we will discuss how to keep your voice in top shape. We are never taught how to most effectively use our voices, we just figure out language when we are young and no one ever mentions it again. That is what this time is for. How can you take care of your voice? How can you maintain healthy vocal use? What might be affecting the way you speak or sing? When should you seek professional help? There are many tips and tricks that can be used to keep your voice healthy and working at the highest level, even with high-intensity use. There are also ways that your speaking habits may be interfering with your sound production. Take this opportunity to learn more about yourself and how your voice can be your best asset.

This is an opportunity for students to perform in front of each other in a masterclass setting with an accompanist. Practice singing in public, learn how to work with a live accompanist, discover new things from watching others, and have the opportunity to meet your fellow students. Seeing and hearing the changes in someone else can help students to process concepts they may be struggling with themselves, plus you get to meet people who are just as passionate about music as you are!

All while examining what makes Shakespeare so long-lasting and such fun!
