The exercises show what you can do with the voice, train the polyphonic singing, the vowel equalisation, release and examine the limits for high and low register. The Swing felling will be trained and there are openings for improvisation. Soerin’s vocal master class are specifically arranged for gospel and pop choirs, a capella ensembles, solo singers, choir singers, and choir directors. Groove, head and chest voice, laid back singing, choir sound blending as well as abdominal breathing, breath support and latin style are covered by this vocal training.

Using the vocal instructions your choir may start the professional voice warm up even if your are still stuck in a traffic jam. The singing instructions for choir, professional singers and ensembles are well reconciled by construction and you will notice that your voice is well prepared after 15 minutes of practice. The abdominal breathing is most important for the start of every practice and should be included in each exercise program with intensity and comprehensive guidance. Nevertheless the choir director has to repeat the hints for the breath support of the singers again and again. To reach the extrem high and low registers voice exercises have to be performed and controlled by the choir director to avoid lockups of the singers.
