Getting The House In Order: Training Functional Register For CCM
Thursday 10th November 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
In a functional approach to voice, transitioning seamlessly between the bottom and the top often requires isolation work to be done on the basic registers (a.k.a chest and falsetto).

In this workshop, Chris will share how he assesses and trains the basic registers to benefit the voice as a whole.
The added benefit is that the passaggio is also much easier to fathom when all registers are functional and contributing!
