Understand, strengthen, extend and sustain your belt! The VocaLab ‘Build Your Belt’ masterclass is designed to help singers and singing teachers of all levels develop their belt technique. During the session we cut through the clutter of simple ‘tips and tricks’ and focus on the ‘how’ of belting with a deep dive into the anatomy, physiology, and the classification of belt. Through evidence-based exercises, you will learn how to solve common belting issues and incorporate belt into songs using practical science-backed strategies. Whether you are new to singing or an experienced vocalist, this masterclass is structured to take your belting abilities to the next level.

The Sick Singer’s Toolkit

The Sick Singer’s Toolkit offers constructive solutions and support for those unavoidable times you need to perform when sick, whilst also helping to alleviate the guilt and shame often associated with having cold-like symptoms as a performing artist. This recorded webinar tackles the reality that, despite the common advice of “Vocal Rest Is Best,” professional commitments often necessitate singing under less-than-ideal conditions. The webinar provides practical strategies to minimize vocal strain and maximize performance capabilities when sick, covering how to recognize signs of vocal fold swelling, monitor vocal progress or regression, and implement warm-up and cool-down routines to preserve vocal range and quality.
