The Technique:

TVS trains vocal athletes. The modern vocalist must develop new levels of strength and coordination for a "singing voice" that gives singers unbelievable endurance and capabilities. TVS vocalists have range up 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 TVS technique are recoginzed experts in training bridging of the two main voices.

TVS singers work on the ability to "connect". Connecting refers to a process known as adduction. By developing coordination to adduct in the head voice, the modern vocalist can sing with full-voiced tone that will match the timbre of the lower voice.


You will train the following:

- Seamlessly Bridging the Passagio or
"The Break." (So the upper voice and
lower voice are one)

- Hyper-Extending Vocal Range to 4-5 Octaves

- Adduction in the Head Registers
(Replacing Falsetto with Full-Voiced Tone)

- High Volume, High Velocity Respiratory Support

- Healthy techniques for producing "Rasp" or Grott

- "Whistle Tones" (Flageolet)

- Extreme Screaming

What are the Four Pillars?

Pillar I - Respiration:

The human singing voice is a wind instrument and it takes air to play it. Proper air management is key to supporting the singing voice. In order to support modern vocal applications, the singer must move air at high volumes and high velocities.

Pillar II - Vibration:

As a wind instrument, the "singing voice" utilizes the vocal folds much like a reed instrument. The modern vocalist needs to generate sound waves so they can excite the resonators (open cavities of the head), where overtones are produced.

Pillar III - Resonation:

The third Pillar is where the speaking voice and singing voice transcend. Sound is processed into overtones and the beauty of each individual voice comes to life. Vocal timbre and range are largely facilitated by transporting sound waves and registrating high velocity respiration to the resonators.

Pillar IV - Visualization:

The singer's inner voice and positive mental imagery will directly impact the body's response to vocal commands. Great singing is closely related to hearing the sound before you sing. The successful management of positive mental imagery will reduce distracting physical tension and mental "noise."


How Soon Will You See Progress:

It is very common for a TVS student to experience an exponential leap forward in range, power and quality of sound in as little as 60-90 days. At TVS, we hold a high value in accelerated learning; we capitalize on your strengths and dive right into your weaknesses. By doing so, we create an agenda that is the quickest path to success for your individual voice. At TVS, we know the best way to insure a lasting working relationship, is to get the client what they need as soon as possible and let the world hear it.
