Saturday 10 - 5: The Vocal Chameleon (musical)

Break free from "Pretty Voice Syndrome" in this 6-hour masterclass designed to turn you into a sonic shapeshifter.

​

You’ll stop singing as yourself and start inhabiting the grit of a desperate chimney sweep or the frenetic energy of a caffeinated woodland creature, using vocal physicality and "cheat codes" to master everything from Sondheim to 1920s Jazz.

Whether you’re grit-shifting into a villainous tango or style-swapping from a power ballad to a rap battle, you’ll learn to let the character’s soul dictate the genre and maintain a show-stopping performance through any chord change.

Sunday 10 - 5: Elevate Your Play (non-musical)
