VOCAL COACHING
Live Online / 12 weeks / $998
Vocal Coaching is a 12-week course of live online classes taught by CREAT-ED tutor Benn Willis, with a maximum of 12 students per course to allow for small group and solo development work.
The course uses a unique scientific approach developed by tutor Benn Willis based entirely on vocal anatomy research. The aim of the course is to strip away the guess work and focus on what is actually going within the anatomy of the larynx and work out how vocalists can best ‘connect’ their vocal folds. In order to do this we need isolate two muscle groups, the Cricothyroid (CT) and the Thyroarytenoid (TA) muscles whose jobs are directly related to high notes and low notes. When we understand the operation of these muscles, it quickly becomes apparent that there is no up or down when using the voice as a singing instrument, merely forward and back.
Educating vocalists on these functions is paramount to understanding in how to operate the voice in a neutral and balanced manner without tension or loss of both performance and function. This is often referred to as ‘Low Larynx Technique’ and is now believed to be the most comprehensive singing technique adopted by modern professional singers in the world today. The success of the individual with regards to understanding and demonstrating these techniques is largely based upon practice and solid instruction.
Singer songwriter and Producer Benn Willis has worked in the industry for over 20 years and with the likes of David Gray, The Sugababes, Tom Hingley (The Inspiral Carpets) the late Little Richard, and legendary music producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, Chris Cornell, Crowded House, The Killers). He has also worked with Fame Academy & X-Factor vocal coach Carrie Grant and trained under the world renowned Line Hilton.
