About this Resonance Component Workshop

This Resonance Component Workshop focuses on the outer satellites of the Classical Voice Training Teaching Model: phonation, resonance, and articulation. Through practical application, this model gives the singer and teacher the skills they need to develop their classical singing technique. We have designed this workshop specifically for singers and singing teachers.

Resonance is the focus for this workshop. Let’s explore, through evidence-based research and practical exercises, how singers and teachers can use the deep connections between the emotional motor system and resonance in singing. We will investigate primal sounds as triggers for emotional vocalisation and how they recruit efficient resonance. We’ll also learn how to assess resonance and set up the vocal tract for efficient voice production across pitch range and for different timbres. We’ll look at how to achieve chiaroscuro – a sound that has the perfect balance of darkness and brightness in it, which forms the core of the classical vocal sound. We will also explore how to use resonance efficiently in your teaching and singing. This course is packed full of practical exercises and techniques, giving both singers and teachers powerful tools for their own practice.

Taught by Opera Singer and Vocal Craft and Classical Voice Training Director James Platt and Professor Janice Chapman, author of the acclaimed textbook Singing and Teaching Singing: A Holistic Approach to Classical Voice, this workshop is the eleventh session of a complete series of in-depth explorations of the full SATS Model.
