workshops 

Imagine if you had more bodily references than just "soft palate", "diaphragm", and "mask".  Imagine if you could hear what specific area of the voice was out of alignment when you listened to your singers and you could create exercises specifically designed to address those areas. Imagine if the exercises you created didn't only work once, but gave the singers a tool set that they have regular access to, one that helps their voices develop in rapid and measured progress.

At VoiceScienceWorks we take contemporary research on the voice and translate it into directly applicable information so that you, the voice user, can immediately apply it in your practice. Brilliant minds have been working through complex bio mechanics, physics, acoustics and neurology for decades, helping us to better understand what actually happens when we sing. We can now access that complex information through straight-forward explanations and methods.

Laurel and David knocked it outta the park! The knowledge that both of them have is phenomenal…I felt as if I walked through an experience with them; rather than just listened to a lecture. ​

​Amazing!!! It was absolutely fabulous; I wish I could work with David and Laurel on a consistent basis and can't wait until I can attend another workshop! It was fascinating and opened my eyes to new options in terms of both pedagogy and thinking about my own singing.

​To me, vocal acoustics has been like boxing, I've been getting little jabs for so many years, but today you gave me tons of upper cuts!

I loved putting into practice what I learned, and started warming up with the straw right away…I learned how to sing without getting as tired, and how to get better sound with less work.
