Summary: Because of its virtually limitless potential as a platform for the creative manipulation of sounds and melodies, music is one of the most influential and exciting forms of human expression today. Music is unique in that it facilitates a conversation between a musician and an audience that language alone cannot, creating a special connection between people, one not limited by time, distance, or relationship.

It comes as no surprise that the human voice is one of the most complex and capable musical instruments known to man. Thanks to the group effort of the lungs, diaphragm, sinus cavities, larynx, vocal cords, palate, mouth and lips, with a restraint or release of breath, the voice can change pitch, timbre, and volume. The training that goes into understanding how to best utilize these vocal techniques are of varying degrees of difficulty, and usually require a vocal coach or trainer…which is why you are here today.

In these free singing lessons on video, learn from vocal coach James Meny about some of the ways in which you can damage your voice with bad singing technique, including overworking and vocal chord strain, bowed vocal chords, and nodes. He’ll also delve into classical voice training and present middle voice, a good balance of head and chest voices for delivering a strong vocal sound with little damage to the voice.
