How to use this course
Mostly you just need a desire to learn and grow! But to get the most out of your course experience, here are a few recommendations and things you’ll need.
Computer or smartphone
You’ll need a device where you have internet and can login to your account to access the video/audio content.
High-speed internet
This course will require you to stream video content as well as to stream or download vocal workouts. A speed of at least 50 mbps is recommended for an optimal experience, but less than that often works just fine. To test your internet speed, go to www.speedtest.net.
Suggested course schedule
We recommend that you print the suggested course schedule to keep track of your lessons and workouts. It’ll be tempting to move through the course as quickly as possible, but we’ve divided the content into six main sections and it’s best to spend a minimum of one week per section. You are welcome to move more slowly at your own pace, but we recommend doing the course over a period of six weeks. This will keep you motivated and accountable, and help you see consistent progress in your voice as you learn new coordinations and get rid of old vocal habits!
Lesson notes
Print the PDF notes as you begin each lesson and have them handy so you can follow along as you move through the videos and workouts. We’ve provided space so you can jot down your questions, thoughts and observations!
Hydration
Stay hydrated as you’re going through the videos and vocal workouts! Lots and lots of water! For tea, I recommend Licorice Root and/or Throat Coat tea by Traditional Medicinals. With a spoonful of raw, organic honey, it’s delicious and soothing!
Vocal coaching
Need more help? Having trouble with an exercise? Want feedback or specific help with a song you’re working on? In our Worship Vocalist store, purchase the “Analyze My Voice” product to get Charmaine’s written feedback on where your voice is at and what to be working on, or, you can purchase a private Skype session to get one-on-one, real-time feedback!
