As a student of vocals at WaterBear, you’ll be getting a tailored 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. You’ll learn your craft in small groups of no more than 12, in a supportive and creative environment.
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, that we run from the WaterBear Venue on Brighton beach. 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. Check out their information below. As working professionals, the tutoring team may be subject to occasional change and availability may vary.
