Personal
Performance Power
In 2010 the global schools’ all-embracing theme, “Personal Performance Power,” will feature high-energy classes for attendees — designed around “The Power In You,” as a singer and a performer.
The goal is to enrich and empower singers with skills that strengthen and integrate the voice, the body and the mind into a total performer.
Preliminary Class Topics include:
The Voice – how it works, learning and employing skills that promote vocal energy, breath support, control and management, resonance and vowel production — all the necessary ingredients in singing a cappella music in the barbershop style.
The Body – learning and employing skills that promote visual synchronization and unity, posture, visual finesse and salesmanship of the musical product.
The Mind – Supplemental areas will include performance attitude and address more intangibles of performing, such as finding your inner diva, self-esteem in performing and handling performance anxieties. Personal Responsibilities such as individual focus and discipline, mental and physical preparation, and balancing career and chorus/quartet life will also be explored.
In addition, thrilling, non-traditional and unique opening and closing events are being planned. Your learning experience will begin with a powerful opening, continue with powerful classes and will conclude with a powerful closing — all of these together culminating in an awakening that will create greater power within you as a singer and performer.
