As a student of vocals at WaterBear, you’ll learn your craft in small groups of no more than 12, in a supportive and creative environment. It’s a learning experience that’s designed to support and encourage individual personal development. You’ll get to explore the full capabilities of your voice and develop of a wide repertoire to broaden your vocal range and boost confidence.
Our team of vocal tutors and mentors, all working professionals with incredible CVs, will provide you with valuable insights and perspectives via masterclasses, workshops, lectures, and 1-1 mentoring. Mic technique, posture, tone, breathing, vocal health and confidence are all areas of focus, and you’ll get loads live performance opportunities to hone your stagecraft. There's also WaterBear Voices, our weekly vocal collective. WaterBear Voices is a great place to network and meet new people, and the choir gets regular opportunities for work such as live performances, recordings and other opportunities with artists and bands both in and out of WaterBear.
Although WaterBear will provide you with all the equipment you’ll need for the course, we recommend all vocalists should invest in their own mic (Shure SM58 or similar) and be able to record yourself to a reasonable standard at home.
At WaterBear, we’re proud to work with some of the industry’s most accomplished music professionals. Tutors and mentors who are all highly experienced at every level of the music industry, alongside our visiting faculty who bring their wealth of experience in the form of in-class masterclasses and Q&A’s sessions throughout the year. As working professionals, the tutoring and visiting faculty team may be subject to occasional change and availability may vary.
Music industry guest visits take place throughout the year, showcasing some of the best artists and innovators in today’s music. Our guest programme varies each year and some of our recent guests are shown below.
WaterBear Jam night! Each month we host a jam night down at @waterbearvenue - all WaterBears need to do is turn up, and sign up on the night to play/sing! Musicians bring your instruments and singers bring your voices warmed up and ready to go. It’s the perfect place to meet band/housemates, collaborators, and new friends! Don’t miss the next one on the 9th November.

We’re big on finding volunteer opportunities for WaterBears, as not only does it build up your experience and industry contacts, but it can also lead to paid work! Recent graduate @ellenrosemusic had the opportunity to volunteer as junior sound tech role at We Out Here festival, and from this now has work at Glastonbury next year! Hard work and going the extra mile really does pay off in this industry. .
