Mastercourse voice

with Lina Maria Åkerlund - direction and Sebastián Tortosa - coaching

The Singers have to cope with a variety of tasks in order to move their public. In addition to a beautiful voice, an excellent technique, great musicality, a sense of style, a feeling for language, and a strong stage presence are of great importance. The course deals comprehensively with these various aspects of a professional singer.

The focus is on tuition in the plenum, centring primarily on musical and technical abilities. The repertoire of the course can be chosen freely.

Every morning there are group exercises of roughly thirty minutes training physical and breathing techniques.

In addition to the voice tuition, the participants are taught several lessons in rehearsal/coaching by the Argentine pianist Sebastián Tortosa.

In the course of the week's tuition there will be two rounds of talks dealing with all sorts of related questions, such as technique, aspects relating to anatomy, style, nonverbal communication, the professional image, or the repertoire.

The course primarily aims at...

... professional singers and students of voice. Subject to vacancies, advanced amateurs can also be admitted to active participation in the course, the number of active participants being limited to eleven persons.
