When used effectively, an instructor's voice has the power to connect, motivate, support and take participants on a musical journey. After not having taught classes for a while however, your voice is likely deconditioned due to not having to project it for teaching. In the same way that we need to work on our physical fitness to prepare to teach classes again, we also need to work on rebuilding our vocal fitness.  ​

In this webinar, you'll learn the techniques used by professional voice coaches to help actors, performers and singers build their vocal fitness so they can deliver powerful and memorable vocal performances; and the different ways to use your voice to coach, support and motivate your classes as they work on regaining their own physical fitness after months away from classes.​ ​
