WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Did anyone ever tell you that you can’t sing?
Have you ever considered that the voice is an instrument like any other.
Singing isn’t just a gift. Great singing can be learned!
Get set for a practical workshop offering insightful guidance to improve your vocal health and performance skills and support you to find your true, authentic voice.
Join Nook Road Productions vocal practitioner and Hāwea- based musician Anna van Riel for a dynamic, functional and engaging workshop on the human voice. This 2hr wānanga supports participants to build a personalised vocal toolbox to support self-management, health and connected phonation as both singers and speakers.
Gain effective vocal postures and awareness around breathwork, anatomy and releasing mental blocks in this fun and empowering session, and discover the intelligent vocalist within.
Learn to set your whole body up as an instrument and adjust your vocal positions to release physical tension. Designed for visual learners, Anna’s pedagogy helps to break down dated paradigms around “good” and “bad” singing, and allows you to find the intelligent vocalist within, by understanding how to adjust and self monitor, as you become your own best vocal coach.
Very much focused on the ‘why’ and the ‘how’; learn tools that make sense and are easy to apply.
If you’ve ever been told you can’t sing, believed you can’t or have been too afraid to try, throw it all away. This is your time! This workshop is for you.
Please arrive well-hydrated with a full water bottle and a straw.
The session will round off with a ‘big sing’ where we’ll put our new toolbox into practice.
Ideal for ages 16+
