Co-Vo Fundamentals > Speaking Voice for Singers

Speaking Voice for Singers

Each day, most singers spend significantly more time speaking than singing. And yet, most singers have not spent any time training their speaking voices, despite the fact the mechanism they use for both voice activities is incredibly similar! What can happen to a person’s singing voice when they speak all day with less-than-ideal coordination?

In this 45-minute vocal workout—delivered live, via Zoom—you will explore your speaking voice: how to assess its health and its potential effects on your singing voice. You will learn:

• Speech habits—both good and bad—that can impact your singing voice

• Speaking voice exercises that can dramatically improve your singing voice

• How to perform simple laryngeal massage and why all singers should try it

• When a singer should seek (or be referred for) speech therapy

Remember, practice makes permanent. To improve your speaking voice, we invite you to repeat this workout often. Every Speaking Voice for Singers workout is different, while focusing on the same set of fundamental skills.
