Description: This seminar will explore:

• The agility skills every singer should acquire, regardless of voice fach
• Common technical challenges in approaching coloratura, and how they can be overcome
• 15 types of agility exercises used by great singers, past and present
• A specific process for learning a new melisma or cadenza

In addition, three singer volunteers will work on on coloratura passages of their choice with Julia.

Singers will receive a coloratura guide filled with dozens of examples of agility exercises, and will also develop a short, personalized vocal agility “workout” to perform regularly as part of their vocalizing routine.
