This course will explore the use of cross-training and speech-to-singing exercises as a gateway to musical and vocal development.

The workshop will explore:

  • the premise of cross-training as a way to develop a more integrated and resilient vocal instrument
  • cross-training in practice
  • the use of speech as a diagnostic tool in the voice studio
  • the use of speech in vocalizing
  • speech as a bridge to musical and textual expressivity
  • speech levels and speech-to-singing on a continuum

The workshop will also include current students who can share specifics about their growth, challenges, and successes with cross-training.
