Classical Voice Training hosted at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama returns with their ground-breaking comprehensive course on the training of classical voice. Under the leadership of Prof. Janice Chapman, a multidisciplinary team of prominent voice specialists will present this five-day course, alongside experts (performer, coaches, conductors and singing teachers) from the industry including the Royal Opera House, Teatro alla Scala Milano and Deutsche Oper, Berlin.
The art of singing has been taught for generations without the benefit of evidence-based science to underpin it. Due to recent developments in fibre-optic and endoscopy technology, it has become possible to view the voice and build a science-based understanding of how it works. This knowledge does not replace the empiric writings of the old masters but rather enhances our understanding of past teaching methods.
Janice and her team will deliver an intensive course for performers which includes instruction and work on Breathing and Support (including Accent Method Breathing), Postural Alignment, Vocal Anatomy and Physiology, Manual Therapy, Phonation, Resonance, Articulation, Mind-skills for Performers and Artistry and Performance.
