Vocal Registration: A Singer’s Guide

Have you ever wondered…

• Why does my voice crack?

• What makes the passaggio so challenging to navigate?

• How can I smooth out my “break”?

• Why is it so difficult to diminuendo?

The key to these questions—and so much more—lies in mastering vocal registration.

During this 2-hour seminar—delivered live, via Zoom—Dr. Julia Nielsen will guide you through a comprehensive "user's manual" for vocal registers, tailored for singers who want to understand, blend, and master the transitions between the registers of their voice.

What You’ll Learn:

• Clear definitions of common terms like register, head voice, mixed voice, modal voice, voix mixte, and more

• How to transform register “breaks” into smooth register transitions

• How influencing factors like breath pressure, vowel shape, and other variables impact registration

• The basics of the physiology of vocal registers, including the roles of the TA (thyro-arytenoid) and CT (crico-thyroid) muscles

• The important and often misunderstood difference between laryngeal and acoustical registration

• More than a dozen practical vocal exercises designed to strengthen and blend your registers, including cross-registration techniques

Your Experience Includes:

• A 90-minute presentation led by Dr. Julia Nielsen, combining expert insights with practical demonstrations

• 30-minute guided vocal exercise routine to explore vocal registration through targeted exercises (participants remain muted).

• Additional time for Q&A from 12:30–1:00pm (PT).

• A comprehensive seminar booklet, delivered electronically, with handouts and notated vocal exercises to support your practice

• Two months of unlimited video access to the seminar video (through April 1, 2025)

Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of vocal registration and gain practical tools to refine your craft!
