7:30pm - 9:30pm
The Contemporary Singer in The World of Recorded Music
Contemporary Commercial Music Voice Coaches and Top Record Producers discuss today’s singer in the recording studio. In this dynamic view from “inside the studio”, we will examine techniques and strategies used by both coaches and producers for today’s CCM singer. From Corrine Bailey Rae and Macy Gray to John Mayer and James Blunt, we’ll examine the styles used by platinum selling voices on the radio today. Coaches and producers will discuss and present their techniques and tactics used with modern day singers. We also will examine how voices have evolved over the years. From Barbara Streisand and Tony Bennett to today’s commercial singers what are the biggest changes in style over the last few decades? Some of the questions addressed in this workshop will be: What are the qualities in a contemporary voice that capture attention and create instant recognition? How does a singer cultivate a vocal sound that is distinctly their own? What is the process you use to record singers final vocals? What are the techniques used to coach contemporary singers that differ from musical theater or opera? How voice coaches can help producers with pre-production and assist in the studio.

4:00pm (Holiday Party to follow)
Voice Science Masterclass
with Brian P. Gill
and Annual Holiday Party
Don’t Let Technology Scare You!
Voce Vista, a user-friendly computer program created by Don Miller and Harm Schutte, provides the voice teacher and student with a visual spectrographic display of the voice in action. This program illustrates the acoustic information present (Harmonics, Formants, Overtones, etc) in the actual sound being emitted by the singer. Although it would be impossible, and undesireable, to teach a student solely through the use of this feedback, the visual display provides yet another tool for the evaluation of sound output. While it will never replace the eyes and ears of a well-trained teacher, it can provide a quick, unbiased evaluation regarding the efficacy of a particular “resonance strategy.” This immediate visual feedback for the student can help reinforce the verbal guidance of the voice teacher. Come join us for an interactive look at the possibilities opened up to us by the Voce Vista program. There will be several singers used in the demonstration phase of the Masterclass, as well as some analysis of recordings of well-known heroes of the vocal world. Afterward, members and their guests ring in the holidays with a rousing, and catered, holiday extravaganza (and sing-a-long, of course). Sunday, December 2, 2007 at 4:00pm (Holiday Party to follow)

A Musical Theater Master-Class
with Meg Bussert
Tools for Acting the Song
For the singer (and teacher): honing the acting and performance techniques, once the musical preparation is done! Ms. Bussert will guide participants through a fresh approach to acting the song borrowing tools and techniques from Stanislavsky and Michael Chekhov. These strategies can be applied by anyone working on the lyric stage whether the repertoire is music theater or opera, standard song or art song. The workshop will address not only the acting choices but the physical expression of those choices and how the artist can incorporate the psychological and the physical into their performance. Broadway veteran Meg Bussert is a Tony Award® Nominee, Theater World Award winner, and Master Teacher of acting and music theater studies at NYU Steinhardt. She has recently been presenting workshops applying Chekhov’s psycho/physical techniques to the particular needs of the singing actor. Sunday February 10, 2008
