​UNLOCK YOUR VOICE: Singing & Vocal Embodiment Masterclass

​4 hours. 6 to 8 people. Your song, coached live.

​You're at a sing-along with your friends, everyone's belting the chorus together, and you're right in it, loud and happy. Then someone hands you the mic for the verse. Your chest tightens, your breath goes shallow, and you laugh and pass it along.

​Singing with a group is one thing. Singing alone is what this room is built for.

​On Saturday, Nov 21st, we spend 4 hours learning what your body does in that moment and how to change it. Then you sing a song you brought, out loud, while I coach you in front of the group.

​Beginners and experienced singers are in the same room. The group is kept to 6 to 8 because everyone gets their own 10 minutes with me, solo, to workshop a song and be coached.

​I'm Constanza Palavecino, a professional singer, harpist, and vocal coach with 25+ years of singing and 15+ years of coaching, and a Certified Teacher of Fitzmaurice Voicework®. I started out in a band signed to EMI Music, touring and performing on national stadium and arena stages, so I know what it takes to keep your voice steady when a whole room is watching.

​

​WHAT YOUR 10 MINUTES LOOK LIKE

​The second half of the day is yours. I teach a very playful and holistic approach with a lot of vocal technique. Each person is coached on one song, solo, with me, in front of the group. No two look alike. Here's what has happened in this room:

• ​A singer made a big, playful cat sound, and the high notes of a Florence + the Machine song she'd dreamed of singing for years came out open, without strain.

• ​A singer sang like a seven-year-old having a tantrum and landed the high note of his song open, steady, and without a crack.

• ​A shy singer sang a phrase low, then climbed a little higher each time while pretending to be Moana at the top of a mountain, singing to every animal on the island. She went past the original key of her song and was stunned at how big her voice was.

• ​A singer sang a love song as a marriage proposal, with a classmate playing his love interest. The song grew whole new layers.

• ​A woman terrified of singing in front of people sat in between a bunch of pillows, hugging one like a teddy bear, and sang as if she were writing in her diary about her crush. Her voice shook at the start. She finished the song beautifully.

• ​A singer sang a lullaby to a pillow baby, and her phrasing turned subtle and captivating.

​Everyone else in the room watches, cheers, and learns from every turn. When someone else has a breakthrough, it unlocks something in you too. Doing it and witnessing it both teach your nervous system that it's safe to be heard and seen.

​HOW THE FOUR HOURS RUN

• ​Hour 1: Fitzmaurice Voicework®. Body-based practices that release the tension that makes your voice tight, ground your breath, and open up the fullness of your sound.

• ​Hour 2: Breath and singing technique. How to breathe for singing, which muscles to use to support your voice without tension, and warm-ups to get your voice moving.

• ​Group singing: We sing together, then each of you takes a solo line and the room answers, call and response style. It's a warm-up for being seen, with everyone doing it at once.

• ​Break: 5 to 10 minutes, with snacks and ginger tea.

• ​Second half: You're 10 minutes of solo coaching, then everyone else's.

​THIS MASTERCLASS IS FOR YOU IF

• ​You freeze when someone hands you the mic, and you'd love to sing in front of people without your heart racing. Never having sung before is fine.

• ​You sound good in the car and shrink around other people. You have natural talent and you've never trained it.

• ​You've had lessons, or you sing or speak for a living, and your voice still tightens in the moment it matters most.

​WHAT PEOPLE SAY

​"I went to this masterclass thinking I was simply going to learn more about singing, and it ended up being such a deeper experience."

​"It's crazy how much emotion can live in your throat without you even realizing it until you finally give yourself permission to use your voice fully."

​"If I knew singing could be this fun, I would have dared to do it way sooner."

​"It's amazing to see everyone opening their voices and having breakthroughs in different ways. You realize everyone has the potential to do it with the right support."

​"I got so much more out of it than I was expecting. This was an incredible experience."

​"I arrived super nervous, not knowing what to expect, and I ended feeling so inspired and motivated to sing more."
