Intro to Overtone Singing
Feb 4 2023 @ 10:00 AM – Feb 8 2020 @ 11:00 AM

Learn to sing two notes at the same time.

Do you really need more information than that? Ok. Maybe you do!

Overtone Singing is a technique that enables one vocalist to produce and, with a bit of practice, control two notes simultaneously.

Overtone singing can be used in various contexts, from emulating synthesized sounds to full self-polyphony. When multiple voices come together to sing in this style, a relaxing, glowing atmosphere is created. This workshop will explain the theory behind overtone singing and teach the basic techniques of producing them.

Harmonic Introductions is a small vocal ensemble dedicated to expanding the awareness, appreciation, and understanding of overtone singing. Founded by Robb Saffell and Julian-Israel Canizares in Spring, 2012, Harmonic Introductions seeks to teach, perform, and build a culture and community focused on the art of overtone singing.
Vocal Health for Singers + Beatboxers w/ Lynda Antonetti, MS, CCC-SLP
Feb 4 2023 @ 11:00 AM – Feb 8 2020 @ 12:00 PM

Your vocal health means everything! Trained singer turned Speech Pathologist, Lynda Antonetti shows singers and beatboxers the path to a healthy voice.

Beatboxers, have you ever wondered about the impact of your sound effects on your vocal folds? Lynda will discuss the surprising implications of beatboxing on your vocal health.

Singers, have you noticed that some artists “can’t do it live”? For some singers using some techniques,  the sound they achieve in studio isn’t sustainable in a live setting. It does too much damage to the vocal chords. How can you tell if you’re doing things the healthy way or not?

This class examines the voice as an instrument and the singer as an athlete. Lynda helps you determine what type of voice user you are, and most importantly, points out the common pitfalls that hurt singers and how to avoid them.

Lynda A. Antonetti MS, CCC-SLP holds a Bachelors of Science in Speech Pathology from SUNY Geneseo, and her masters from NOVA Southeastern University. She’s been a certified Speech Language Pathologist since 1998, but she’s been a singer all her life with formal vocal lessons beginning at the age of 9. Lynda’s focus is on the need for Speech Pathology in the world of entertainment. Her clients include both adults and children with a variety of disabilities, however her passion is to educate those who use their voices for their career.
