extREME VOCAL technique
Vocal Effects used to be thought of as something that is dangerous but these are all sounds that human beings can make when shouting, in anger, laughing, cheering, babies screaming. Primal sounds often accessed via human emotions such as rage, anger, upset, sadness, frustration
Using the solid teaching methodology we call ‘Extreme Vocal Technique’, we can help vocalists of all ages and styles to develop the right tools for effective singing.
