THE TECHNIQUE

TVS trains vocal athletes. Our technical agenda is strongly founded on helping the student to develop new levels of strength and coordination that will build a new singing voice that gives singers unbelievable endurance and capabilities. This technique enables our students to expand range to 4-5 octaves, develop unique power and master the skills of bridging & connecting. Bridging is the ability to seamlessly sing from the lower chest voice to the upper head voice with no perceived break between the two voices. The Passagio, commonly referred to as the break, represents the most challenging area of voice development for all singers. No other skill set in singing is fraught with more frustration or more joy, then the ability, or inability to bridge the Passagio. TVS is supreme in its expertise and understanding on how to train this mission critical skill.

Once bridging of the Passagio is developed and the singer is well into their head registers, TVS singers then work on the next most important skill, the ability to connect. Connecting refers to a process known by voice pedagogues as adduction. Adduction means the vocal folds are trained to come back together, or zip up, when in the head registers. The result is a full-voiced tone that will match the timbre of the lower voice and expand the singers range potential by 2-3 octaves.

Drilling workouts builds some of the most powerful and versatile voices in the business. TVS trained singers never pull chest, do not fatigue easily and never experience gripping in the throat or laryngeal regions. TVS singers enjoy an out of body experience when singing with super-human capabilities, yet feel no physical resistance or strain.

The sounds below are referred to as vocal applications and they are the sounds that modern musical genres require.
