Microphone Technique for the Vocalist

ILVC-372

This course teaches vocalists how to use the microphone as an extension of their voice, enhancing their vocal sound, technique and performance ability by combining technical microphone knowledge with practical microphone skills. Students will learn how to choose the right microphone for their voice and personal style, gain an understanding of the technical language needed to communicate effectively with sound engineers, and learn the different kinds of microphone techniques for singing onstage, in the studio, and across different musical genres. While the first half of the course will cover theoretical topics, students will use their mics throughout the course.
