📘 FIRST LESSON — Vocal Evaluation & Goal Mapping
What to Expect
• A professional-level vocal assessment: tone quality, breath support, resonance strategies, agility, blend, vibrato, and stylistic habits.
• Identifying technical strengths and areas that need refinement (range balance, stamina, control, register transitions, articulation).
• Discussion of short-term and long-term goals: performance, auditions, recording, stylistic specialization, range extension, or technical mastery.
Skills Targeted
• Evaluating mix and head/chest balance
• Assessing vowel shaping consistency
• Identifying tension patterns in tongue, jaw, and larynx
• Breath efficiency during advanced phrasing
• Refining resonance strategies for different styles
Vocal Drills
1. Resonance Check:
“Ng → Ah” release into open vowels for clarity
2. Agility Test:
3–5–8–5–3–1 run on quick tempo
3. Octave + Fifth Leaps:
On “Gee” or “No” to evaluate stability
4. Sustain-and-Control Drill:
Long “Ah” with soft → loud → soft transitions (messa di voce)
Things to Look Forward To
• A tailored roadmap to reach elite-level singing
• Personalized exercises that address your exact vocal profile
• Immediate corrections that create noticeable improvements
📗 LESSONS 2–3 — Technique Adjustment & Precision Training
What to Expect
• Focused technical cleanup: fixing subtle inefficiencies.
• Consistent refinement of breath management, vowel shaping, and resonance tuning.
• Introduction to targeted drills based on the assessment.
• Rebuilding or refining your core warm-up routine.
Skills Targeted
• Advanced breath optimization and phrase planning
• Unifying registers for seamless transitions
• Enhanced clarity and forward placement
• Stabilizing vibrato and tone consistency
• Precision in intonation for demanding repertoire
Vocal Drills
1. Vowel Modification Scales:
“Ah–Uh–Oh–Ee” through the passaggio for smoother high notes
2. Mix Calibration Drill:
“Mum–mum–mum” on fast arpeggios, focusing on balanced resonance
3. Staccato-to-Legato Contrast:
Helps refine rhythmic control and breath support
4. Advanced Lip Trills:
Trills on octave arpeggios to coordinate breath + resonance
Things to Look Forward To
• Increased vocal ease even in difficult passages
• Stronger consistency across your range
• A custom warm-up sequence built for your voice
📙 LESSONS 4–10 — High-Level Technique, Repertoire, & Stylistic Mastery
What to Expect
• Working on more demanding songs (musical theatre, R&B, pop, classical, jazz).
• Advanced exercises to build vocal stamina, flexibility, and tonal options.
• Deep technical tuning: vibrato control, riff technique, register power, resonance strategies.
• Interpretation, emotion, and performance considerations.
Skills Targeted
• High-range strength and easy access to upper register
• Breath endurance for long or complex phrases
• Riff/melisma control and speed
• Vibrato speed and onset control
• Stylistic authenticity in chosen genres
• Dynamics and tone coloring (bright, warm, breathy, clean, gritty)
Vocal Drills
1. Melisma Patterns:
Rapid 1–2–3–4–3–2–1 runs on vowels
2. Interval Jump Training:
5ths, 7ths, and octave jumps on clean vowels
3. Messa Di Voce Work:
Soft → loud → soft for dynamic control
4. Mixed Voice Strengthening:
“Nay/Nee” through bridge areas for clean high notes
5. Stylistic Drills:
• R&B slide drills
• Belt-mix exercises
• Jazz phrasing patterns
• Classical onsets & vowel purity (if applicable)
Things to Look Forward To
• Mastering difficult vocal lines with ease
• A noticeable increase in agility and stamina
• Developing advanced stylistic expression that sets you apart
• Singers often experience a major “unlock” in their range here
📕 LESSONS 11+ — Performance Polish, Artistic Identity & Professional Prep
What to Expect
• High-level coaching aimed at stage, studio, or audition readiness.
• Refining the singer’s personal artistic identity and vocal brand.
• Advanced improvisation, stylistic exploration, emotional authenticity, and recording technique.
• Full-song polishing: breath decisions, dynamics, tone shaping, emotional arc.
Skills Targeted
• Tone coloration and storytelling
• Consistent top-range reliability under pressure
• Studio recording technique (mic distance, dynamics, tone)
• Performance confidence and stage presence
• Professional-level endurance for back-to-back singing
• Building a “signature sound”
Vocal Drills
1. Controlled Vibrato Variations:
Slow → natural → fast vibrato pacing
2. High-Intensity Endurance Routine:
Sequence of scales to build stamina for long shows or recording sessions
3. Tone Color Exercise:
“Ah” shaped in bright/warm/dark/rounded tones
4. Advanced Riff Construction:
Breaking riffs into micro-patterns to speed up precision
5. Performance Simulation:
Full-song run-throughs with critique on delivery, emotion, and consistency
Things to Look Forward To
• Developing an identifiable professional sound
• Feeling completely prepared for high-level performance situations
• Confidence in tackling extremely challenging repertoire
• Seeing yourself transform from “advanced singer” to “artist”
