Contained in The Contemporary
Vocalist Volume 1:
1A) Breath and Support
Jeannie Deva coaches you
through the steps of four vital exercises that reveal to you the secrets of
breath support and the success of this method.
1B) Developing Control
The second half of the first
CD, you apply your new found method of breath support to vocal exercises. You
will discover that this method gives you greater control and ease of singing.
2) Range and Control
Free your range as you relax
and energize the natural and automatic functions of your voice. This CD limbers
your vocal muscles giving you smoothness, flexibility and expansion of your
useable range. For best results, alternate with the first tape of The Contemporary
Vocalist Vol. 2, Tape 1- "Eliminating the Break".
3) Tone and Power
This third CD focuses on
volume, relaxed power, enhanced resonance and sustain. The exercises are arranged
to warm-up your voice first and cool you down at end, while being fun, creative
and freeing. Tapes 2 and 3 of The Contemporary Vocalist Vol. 2 support and complete
this achievement.
4) Working with
Words
The final tape of this series
consolidates your vocal advancement with correct use of vowels, consonants and
words in general while singing. An understanding of how words affect your voice
will give you freedom from the pit falls of over stressing consonants.
The CDs and book are interactive
and never leave you wondering what to do next. Some of the book chapters include,
"Natural Breathing, Freeing Your Natural Voice, Falsetto: Myth-Fear-Fact,
How to Sing Hard and Avoid Vocal Blow -Out, Working on a Song" and much
more.
Regardless of your current
level of vocal ability, Jeannie Deva expertly guides you step-by-step through
a process of vocal enhancement and discovery. She empowers you with the knowledge
and tools that help you sing with confidence and control. Even if you are an
experienced singer, it is recommended that you work with The Contemporary Vocalist
Vol.1 before using The Contemporary Vocalist Vol. 2. This is because the method
by which the exercises are done is more important than what notes or scales
are sung. The method you use to practice the exercises in Vol. 2 is taught in
Vol. 1 and you will get better results that way.
