Match-Fit for Performance: You, at your Vocal Best!
​
With Michael Hill
(Part of a set of two sessions plus online one to ones & Performance– second session 27th March)​
​
As performers, it's important to 'keep the engine running' in terms of maintaining good vocal habits, but it's also good to have a chance to explore new territory in a safe, empowering environment. Perhaps you've always wanted to sing a certain song, but doubted whether you could pull it off? Maybe you've always wanted to showcase an accent, but haven't had the chance to add the final polish to your performance? Well, this workshop is your chance to shine!
Michael will be on hand to share some top tips and tricks for getting you match-fit for performance & have audition material readily available in your bag of tricks!!
Come to this first workshop with a piece of text – poem, script or song that you would like to work on in both sessions.
Participants will have individual coaching time online to work on the text, poem, song or script which will be presented on the 28th of March to a small audience and fellow Creative Hub members at Perth Theatre.
Come along, try something new and explore your vocal potential!
​
Michael is a vocal coach who embraces a wide range of different performers and styles – from teaching singing and accents to TV actors, dialect coaching for films, training West End singers, helping lawyers with public speaking and even teaching international metalcore bands to scream safely on tour!
Michael is also a ‘weel-kent’ voice on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal and has hosted “Storytime” on BBC Alba
