Are you a singer, actor, teacher or someone else who uses their voice professionally? If so, this course is going to be a game changer for you.
It's really important to understand that singing, acting, narrating, teaching or public speaking is an athletic event. You need to pay attention to the whole body, as well as the condition of your instrument. The food you eat, the sleep you get, the amount you hydrate, all of these things can have a HUGE impact on the general health and stamina of your voice.
In this course, you're going to learn all that, plus the right warm-up and cool-down exercises and a basic understanding of vocal anatomy.
Once you have this knowledge in hand, you'll be able to move forward creatively with less fear.
When it comes to taking care of your voice and your career, knowledge is power, and good habits are gold.
