2024 Voice Foundation Workshop:

If you’re wondering how to sing authentically in various musical styles, please watch this video of Bharati Soman and Maria Damore at the 2024 Voice Foundation Symposium. Bharati demonstrates pop-mix (“Count on Me”-Bruno Mars), belt (“Go Into Your Dance”-42nd Street), and classical/opera (“Caro Nome”-Rigoletto). Maria demonstrates belt (“Some People”-Gypsy), classical/opera (“Vissi d’Arte”-Tosca) and pop/mix (“Midnight Blue-Melissa Manchester”). Jeanie LoVetri, founder of Somatic Voicework™, masterfully guides them through exercises to prepare for each excerpt. Bharati’s home base is classical and Maria’s home base is pop-mix, but both skillfully cross over to the other genres. Special thanks to Jimmy Damore, for accompanying and to Valerie Trollinger for videotaping! The Somatic Voicework™ functional training approach is extremely effective for all genres because it conditions the instrument (the voice) to be strong and flexible, much as other athletes train the muscles used in their sport. Stylistic parameters are incorporated as the vocal instrument is ready to assimilate them.
