About

Learn to embrace the dynamic singing style, belting. Led by Jonathan Grosberg, Head of Music & Singing at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, this intensive course demystifies the belting process with anatomically focused techniques derived from the 'Voice Explained' methodology. As an Estill Certified Master Trainer, Jonathan has designed the course for all levels of singing and aims to eliminate the guesswork around this singing technique.

What You'll Learn:

>Develop a safe and effective warm-up routine to prepare the voice for belting and prevent strain.

>Understand and apply the core techniques of belting, including breath control, vocal resonance, and range expansion.

>Gain practical experience in belting through guided exercises and applying technique to song.

>Learn how to maintain vocal health and longevity while using powerful vocal techniques in demanding musical styles.

Overview:

For this one-day masterclass the morning will first focus on grounding the voice, setting a solid foundation for healthy vocal use. Later in the afternoon, you'll refine belting techniques and learn how to embed them into the performance of a song. You'll work on building vocal power, control, and range while addressing challenges specific to your voice. This hands-on session will culminate in a song, integrating everything learned during the day into a real-world musical setting. The course will also briefly cover alternatives to belting that can be equally as effective in contemporary performance.

Meet Your Coach:

Jonathan is an experienced vocal coach, having worked in both Theatre and TV. With credits including a solo performance at the BBC Proms and leading a choir at Abbey Road Studios, you'll be in safe and supportive hands!
