Expanding Your Singing Voice - A Workshop with Joy Askew
Sunday November 2, 11 am - 1 pm
Your voice leads a song! Renowned vocal coach and singer Joy Askew joins us for a workshop that covers many aspects of vocal technique, from the nuts and bolts of vocal production to vocal health to how to deliver a song with expression and confidence, leading everyone in a journey of awareness. Joy's approach draws on the strength of embodied singing, using gravity and movement to trigger freedom and lightness in the body, freeing the throat, tongue, and jaw, and helping singers take their sound from a whisper to a roar. You'll experiment with how your voice resonates best, try exercises to stretch to places you thought you couldn't reach, and work towards freeing up difficulties that challenge flexibility in singing. Find the true sound of your own voice and make it work for you! Participants will work primarily as a group, but there will be also time for those interested to share a song and work one-on-one with Joy within the group setting. If you'd like to share a solo song, please email Joy at joyaskew@gmail.com.
Joy Askew (https://www.joyaskew.com/) has enjoyed a stellar career playing alongside music icons like Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Joe Jackson, Rodney Crowell, Jack Bruce, and Quincy Jones. She has performed with her own band on stages from CBGBs to festivals in the UK, USA, Japan, and Europe, and has opened for David Bowie and for David Byrne. Along the way, she has sung in a choir featured on an EP by Sufjan Stevens, collaborated with a British brass band, and released a downtempo jazz electronica album.
