During the Covid-19 crisi I was able (and had) to develop my skills as an online coach as much as I could, and now I can say it: it can be done! An online course can be, even for vocal technique, an extremely efficient tool and also an amazing opportunity to study with teachers that couldn’t have been reached before
How do Online Singing Courses work?
A good online singing course relies on the quality of your internet connection, and especially your upload speed.
You’re also going to need a webcam and a microphone (the integrated mic in your computer will generally be fine).
The voice lessons take place on a well known software called zoom.
What will you do during your Online Course?
We could say that a Singing Lesson, whether it is online or not, follows this (not at all fixed) order:
- Body and Voice Warm-up: it can last a few minutes or more, but it is extremely important for preserving your voice. I usually ask my students to warm up before their lessons when they become more independent; this way we have more time to explore their voice in order to reach their goals.
- It’s time for you to sing a song: even though I can definitely suggest you some listening, I prefer to let you sing whatever you prefer; I also ask you to print your lyrics, if you don’t know them by heart yet.
- Vocal technique and interpretation explorations: after listening to you, we’re going to talk together in order to establish your main goals and a line of work; then I’m going to propose an exercice that will help you balance your vocal gesture or free your communication skills.
My approach is the result of a never-ending learning process which keeps evolving day after day, and it’s based on the teachings of Sabrina Roman, on Emmanuelle Trinquesse‘s Chant, Voix et Corps approach and on the numerous articles, books and videos that I’ve dug up during the years.
It is mainly based of proprioception, that is to say one perception of their own body, fundamental for vocal health and to avoid the risk of vocal fatigue as much as possible. Other aspects that are essential: the adaptability of my pedagogy to the person that is in front of me and the need to question myself and my approach in order to constantly develop my skills as a vocal coach and to deepen my knowledge in a scientifically accurate way.
How much does an Online Singing Course cost?
I propose two plans at a decreasing rate if you choose to buy more lessons. If you start singing for the first time, I may suggest that you choose the 45 minutes plan, so that we have more time to explore, at least at the beginning.
