Led by voice teacher Antonia Pigot, the workshop will cover basic vocal technique for singers of contemporary music and address topics on vocal health. Examples of vocal issues: How to breathe properly to sing longer phrases, how to reduce tension and prevent voice loss, how diet and substances can effect vocal control and how to reach high notes without straining. Antonia Pigot has been coaching contemporary singers for 15 years in Halifax and Montreal and has helped performers to establish healthy and natural voices with improved control. Former clients include: Crush, Signal Hill, Jenn Grant, Lhasa, Johhny Favorite, Dan McKinnon and Feral Bliss. Antonia studied voice in Montreal and Halifax and graduated with jazz and education degrees from Concordia and Dalhousie University.
