Singing workshop at Woy Woy

The Troubador Folk Club will host a singing workshop on Saturday, June 22, 10am to 5pm, at the CWA hall Woy Woy, opposite Fisherman's Wharf.

Three sessions will be held in the workshop on themes of preparation, technique and presentation.

The workshop begins at 10am with Richard Mills who will present "In Search of the Lost Voice".

Richard will share some of the techniques he has learnt through experience to help singers reach their full potential.

The workshop will involve visualisation and movement, breath, body and spirit.

At 1pm, Linda Campbell will present Fun-damentals of Singing, a practical session that covers the basic techniques including the mechanics of voice, breath, resonance and tone.

With a BA in drama and a graduate diploma in arts, Linda draws on a mixture of techniques from both voice and actor training.

Her vocal studies have included time spent in New Orleans with "Queen of Blues" Marva Wright.

At 2pm, Chris Fraser presents Preparing for the Gig.

Chris Fraser will spend an hour exploring the ways to prepare for a gig, working an audience and turning what can be an ordeal into a pleasant experience.

At 3.30pm, participants will be invited to share a song, ask questions and join in to practice some newly learnt techniques.

The cost is $25 ($20 for members) for the day including afternoon tea or $15 for a single session.

Participants will be asked to bring their own lunch.

With inquiries, phone Frank on 4340 1060 or frussell@fastlink.com.au.
