Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT DOES A TYPICAL LESSON LOOK LIKE?
Beginners:
Establishing singer's vocal goals, warm-up and foundation in vocal function: voice physiology, how the voice works, posture, breathing and exploring registers, music styles, and songs, finding the songs for singers unique voice type, and then working with the singer's songs of choice.
Intermediate
Establishing singer’s immediate vocal goals, building upon the fundamentals into a more rigorous training regime, (i.e. strength versus stamina), exploring singing fitness, expanding repertoire (list of songs), developing register continuity and tonal resonance, and building range expansion. Preparation for auditions and/or exams.
Advanced (working artists and performers):
Establishing singer’s immediate vocal needs to prepare for audition purposes or recording, preparation for gigs, or concerts, maintaining vocal health, working on more rigorous warm-ups and vocal hygiene, vocal function, and establishing singing stamina to sustain voice for prolonged singing settings. We offer recommendations on how to approach things differently to reveal qualities and different textures in your voice that may lie undiscovered.

Each lesson is flexible enough to give you what you really need at each particular stage of your training to ensure you get the most from each lesson at The Vocal Lab.
What to bring to my lesson?
Bring your own water bottle or hot drink, one song (or more) that you like to sing or would like to learn how to sing. If you don’t have it, don’t worry, we can find most songs online. If you have no idea what you like, we can help you find the song that suits your voice - and you.
What do you provide?
We provide all the tools (microphone, amp, songs with lyrics on screen, pen and paper and some recorded vocal warm ups, etc..) you might need during your lesson in a warm and friendly environment to build and maintain a healthy singing voice! If you want to work on mic technique, you are welcome to bring your own microphone.
