The "Vocal Health" Course

This class will help students understand how their voice works, and teach you techniques to keep your vocal instrument healthy and in tip-top condition.

As a professional voice over artist, your voice EVERYTHING; your product, your brand, and your livelihood. Clients are hiring you for your sound and expecting you to be able to deliver. You use your voice for longer periods and in more ways than most other people. And because you literally are your own instrument, your physical and emotional well-being can seriously affect the quality of the sound you produce. So imagine you get a cold and lose your voice. You can’t work! How can you recover your voice in a fast, healthy way that won’t compromise your career as a voice talent? Are there ways that you can prevent that from ever happening again?

In this webinar, you will learn the basics of how your voice works and how to maintain your voice in tip-top condition. We’ll cover good voice production, identify everyday habits that can negatively impact vocal health, and help you develop a routine for daily voice care. This webinar will also discuss vocal care when you’re sick, and other sub-optimal performing situations to make sure you are ready to record when your clients come calling!

If you find yourself suffering from vocal fatigue at the end of a long recording session, this is the class for you!
