The body is a singer’s instrument, however, most singers don’t have a basic
understanding of how it affects the voice. This hands-on workshop will give teachers
a quick overview of vocal anatomy while providing practical physical and vocal
warm-up strategies that can be utilized in their classroom. Teachers will work
together to explore how the stories in a singer’s head can affect vocal performance
and health. We will then discover strategies that will build confidence, curiosity, and
power within the individual singer and your ensemble. Led by private voice and
acting coach, Angela Collier, this workshop will encourage an element of play that
will encourage freedom in your singers voices. Angela has a personal understanding
of this topic after having a vocal injury her senior year of high school, and
passionately believes that all singer’s should continue to learn more about how the
body affects the voice. TESS components addressed include: 1e,1d,4e
