 (forward motion)

Welcome to Oceanaires Summer Sing! Finding Your Voice Through Four-Part Harmony

A seven-week journey of music, friendship, and discovering the joy of singing.

——————

Spotlight: Ice Cream Social, Guest Quartet “99”

Lyrical delivery

  1. Moving Air
    1. Vocal freedom is achieved through efficiency of the vocal apparatus.
    2. Force does not create resonance… efficiency creates resonance.

  2. What are some resistance that affects our vocal energy?
    1. Posture
    2. Vocal placement
    3. Moving air
    4. Character driven

  3. Barbershop phrasing


Example: how would you do this Barbershop? 

Exercises:

  1. Practice Moving Air on a “Z”or “V” (Row, row row your boat then on our show songs)
  2. Now sing it in different characters and see how it affects the delivery.
