Singing Technique Workshop

Singing Technique Workshop

Whether you sing in a choir, perform solo, or just love to explore your voice, this Singing Technique Course will help you connect with your sound and develop a deeper understanding of how your voice works.

This course is designed to help you unlock your true vocal potential - exploring tone, control, and healthy technique across your range. You’ll gain practical tools to strengthen your sound, smooth transitions between registers, and sing with greater ease and expression.

Each week, you’ll work through guided vocal exercises and song studies in a supportive, practical environment. The course runs in two alternating versions — one tailored for Soprano & Alto voices, and one for Tenor & Bass voices - so that each singer receives specialist guidance relevant to their vocal range.

Make the high notes feel easy.

You’ll finish with:

  • A stronger, more agile voice
  • Clear tools for bridging registers without strain
  • Better breath support, posture, and resonance
  • Personalised coaching and actionable feedback
  • Renewed confidence to sing expressively

Course Overview

Explore the relationship between your head voice and chest voice.

Learn how to blend them seamlessly for a rich, expressive sound.

You’ll cover:

  • Understanding and identifying what head voice and chest voice feel like
  • Exploring songs that use chest voice for warmth and depth
  • Transitioning between the two registers without strain or tension
  • Practising bridging exercises to create a fluid, connected range
  • Applying these techniques to songs that use both voices — from artists like Joni Mitchell or Adele

Outcome:
This session focuses on building strength and flexibility, helping you move confidently through your vocal range with control and resonance.

Develop a clear understanding of your full voice and falsetto, and learn to navigate the passaggio (the break between registers) with strength and agility.

You’ll cover:

  • Exploring what full voice and falsetto feel like — and how to access them safely
  • Techniques for discovering and developing your mixed voice
  • Larynx position, jaw and tongue tension, and the “cry” quality in the voice
  • How to support your voice without pushing, plus vowel modification for high notes
  • Applying these tools to songs that demand range and versatility — such as Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Outcome:
This workshop builds balance, freedom and flexibility in the male voice, helping you sing across your full range with confidence and control.

Who It’s For

This course is suitable for adult singers of all levels who want to understand their voice better and sing with more technical assurance - whether you’re in a choir, band, or simply love singing for pleasure.

Course Format

Each version of the course focuses on the same technical foundations but with exercises and repertoire tailored to different voice types.
When booking, you’ll be able to select the session that best fits your vocal range:
Soprano/Alto or Tenor/Bass.

Useful Information

No. All exercises are taught by demonstration and repetition. Any written materials provided are optional support.

You’ll explore fundamentals such as breath support, resonance, register balance (head/chest/mix), alignment, and diction. You’ll also apply these techniques to selected repertoire.

Comfortable clothing, water, and (optional) a notebook. Sheet music or lyrics may be provided; you’re welcome to bring a song you know if invited by the tutor.

Most of the class is group-based. There may be short, supportive individual moments to receive feedback, but no one is put on the spot.

Technique is style-agnostic and transfers across genres. Examples typically draw from contemporary, musical theatre and popular repertoire to illustrate concepts.

Group sizes are kept small enough for individual attention while maintaining a positive ensemble atmosphere. Exact numbers vary by date and venue.

Professional vocal tutors with current industry experience. Your tutor will introduce their background at the start of the session.

Grow your voice with confidence.

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
