I 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

Hi all, If you're in the West on April 18th, the answer to singing technique is at the Sun Room Community theatre when Eugene '"hideaway' Bridges holds a one day workshop on singing and music. Although he's a Soul/Blues man, the workshop focus on your musical need for being there, advice for your voice or musical style. Technique is applied to all genres of music. To be honest, I think opera technique may not be covered in this workshop!! This is not a plug, this is the answer to tapping into your technique with a man renown for his voice that's close to an incarnation of Soul legend, Sam Cooke..."Baby you send me.." Take plane, take a train, get to the workshop.. students and groups of 4 or more $75 / normally $110, includes free lunch and performance by Hideaway and Bob Patient (Dave Hole Band) on piano. See ya there.
