Vocal and Acting Workshop and September 11 Concert Rehearsal
Details
Greetings STSANY members - old and new - and those who might like to join:
Come to our next meetup next Thursday, August 9 at 6:00 p.m. Bring your songs and monologues and we'll help you with vocal technique and interpretation. RELAXATION EXERCISES AND VOCAL WARM-UPS FOR THOSE WHO ARRIVE ON TIME!
http://img2.meetupstatic.com/48961800108910343402/img/smileys/laughing.gif SINGERS! COME AND WORK ON YOUR VOICE. Learn easy, effective techniques that will give you the confidence to perform. Bring one song (entire sheet music with accompaniment) you know well and one you would like to learn. Two copies, please. You will receive advice on technique, interpretation and repertoire according to your vocal type and training. Chose songs with a moderate range and that aren't too difficult, technically, i.e., nothing too syncopated. Ballads, i.e., slow or medium slow pieces are preferable.

ALSO: Regarding our September 11 Concert in Remembrance, please see additional information below. A few solo spots are still open to perform on this concert. PIANISTS, GUITARISTS and other instrumentalists are also welcome, and will be appreciated! Come to meetups and let us hear performance selections.
