Learning a New Song From Start To Finish: My Full Character Development Process
In this video series, I share my entire, start-to-finish creative process on camera, as I learn and perform a new song . Along the way, I share and explain everything that I'm doing and thinking in detail — every idea, decision, tool, and technique.
You'll learn the exact process for how I analyze the lyrics, melody, phrasing, rhythms, tempo, and the keys, until I feel like I can just leave the sheet music behind. And when I've done all of that work, that's when the character begins to emerge from the performance.
In the process, I'll be explaining my approach to the following topics:
- The Art of Storytelling through Song
- Connecting with Your Audience
- Vocal Health & Maintenance
- Character Motivation & Intention
- Studying Lyrics & Scripts
- Making Informed Vocal Choices
- Experimenting with Different Keys
- Workshopping a Song in Character
- Auditioning & Choosing Roles
- Finding Your Own Voice
- Dealing with Nerves
In this series, I also make sure to teach you all of the skills you need to successfully follow along with my process. My hope is that this series gives you the space to discover your voice.
