Whether you're just new to singing, or you've been singing for a while and want to fill in the gaps in your knowledge, then this course is for you!

Dr Dan Introduces the Singer's Starting Guide

Build an Essential Foundation for Your Voice

Many singers jump straight into their singing journey and neglect to learn the essential basics of not only how their voice works, but how they can protect and care for their voice for the long haul. Don't be one of them!

In this course, Dr Dan will take you through some of the fundamentals of how your body is used as an entire instrument to create the sound we call 'singing' and how to care for this amazing instrument so that you can enjoy it for a lifetime.

  • What is Singing?

    Great question! It's time to learn the what, why and how of singing.

  • Vocal Anatomy 101

    The more you know about your biological instrument, the better equipped you will be to use it.

  • Voice Care 101

    Learn to handle your voice with care, and it will serve you for a lifetime.

  • Aesthetic vs Function

    It's not an either-or choice. You can have great technique and still sound fantastic.

  • Warm-ups & Cool Downs

    Make your vocal performance the best it can be with great warm-ups and cool downs.

  • E-Book

    Dr Dan's Singer's Starting Guide comes with great resources, including two eBooklets.
