Vocal Registration: A Singer’s Guide

Why does my voice crack? Why is it so hard to sing in the passaggio? How can I smooth my “break”? Why can’t I diminuendo?

Learn the answers to all of these common questions at Vocal Registration: A Singer’s Guide. This 2-hour seminar and accompanying vocal exercise routine—delivered live, via Zoom—will provide:

• Clear definitions of common terms like register, head voice, mixed voice, modal voice, voix mixte, etc.

• An explanation of the physiology of vocal registers (including the functions of the TA “thyro-arytenoid” and CT “crico-thyroid” muscles)

• How factors like breath pressure and vowel affect vocal registration

• The difference between laryngeal registration and acoustical registration

• More than a dozen practical vocal exercises to help strengthen and blend your vocal registers, with a focus on cross-registration exercises

The seminar includes:

• 90 minutes of interactive presentation by Dr. Julia Nielsen

• 30 minutes of singing vocal exercises related to exploring vocal registration (participants remain muted)

• Ample time for Q&A
