Singing Techniques
Tue, 2 Mar 2004, 11:41 pmI am in my final year of my BA Hons Applied Performing Arts and for my dissertation I am focusing on singing techniques in musical theatre.
My Dissertation title/question is: Is Classical singing technique relevant for the modern day actor in musical theatre training?
I would like to hear people's view on this and any methods that they have found usefull in approaching singing for the theatre.
Thanks

i have been doing classical singing for over 5 yrs and in the last 2 yrs i have really focused on musical theatre. I found out that i was quite natural at it, as all the techniques needed for classical were essentiual and required for musical theatre. While contemporary singing is more popular, esp. with shows such as popstars and australian idol, classical singing provides the perfect foundation for learning all the basic singing techniques. Im currently studying yr 12 voice and in the sylabus, musical theatre is in the classical voice section. Hope this helps you!
