Course Overview

The Vocal Performance, Technique and Recording course is part of ICMP’s range of Music Industry courses across 5 days of intensive learning and development.

Spend an intensive and action-packed 5-days developing your vocal performance and learning how to record your vocals in a studio, with hands-on workshops and performance opportunities at ICMP.

Throughout the course, you’ll be guided by ICMP’s renowned professional Vocal tutors, who will provide you with in-depth coaching and constructive vocal feedback at every stage. You’ll gain impressive experience across both performance and studio recording, and will explore your own unique singing voice on a truly intimate level.

With access to ICMP’s state-of-the-art recording studio and performance facilities at Queen’s Park and Kilburn, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between technique and performance, as well as practical skills integral to your journey as a vocalist.

For the course, you’ll spend one lesson focusing on vocal technique and a second on live vocal performance. This combination balances the theoretical and practical sides of your learning, letting you consolidate your understanding and hone your skills by implementing each technique as you go along.

In the morning there is vocal technique and vocal performance (so applied technique in context), in the afternoon there are rehearsals for the actual performance on Friday adding emotional interpretation, refining details, adding backing vocals to the songs etc.

The course will then see you learning how to record your vocals. There is only 1 workshop in the studio as it's 5 days at ICMP’s professional on-campus recording studio. At the end of this intensive course, you’ll leave with one recorded track – which you can use to promote yourself across the wider music industry.

Course Details

In the first part of the course, you’ll dedicate one lesson to vocal technique and another to live performance, striking the perfect balance between theory and practice. This structure allows you to solidify your understanding and refine your skills as you apply each new technique in real time.

As the course progresses, you’ll explore the core elements of vocal performance—from discovering and optimising your unique voice to identifying your strengths and growth areas in both solo and group settings. You’ll take part in group singing workshops, a masterclass led by a guest vocal expert, and a series of ensemble and solo rehearsals, all leading up to an exciting final live performance.

Throughout this module, you’ll receive vocal training to optimise your voice and gain a greater understanding of the technical elements of singing, such as posture, breathing & voice qualities. You’ll also learn and perform two songs of your choice.

Continuing on from the previous module, you’ll expand your knowledge of vocal techniques by exploring stylistic choices, chest voice vs head voice options, agility, and vocal colour and resonance. You’ll learn how to apply these on stage by choosing two additional songs, and will enhance the impact of your performance through improved stagecraft, storytelling and special effects.

By exploring the history and fundamentals of group singing, you’ll uncover leadership qualities you can put into practice when working with fellow vocalists in an ensemble. You’ll also develop your group singing techniques, vocal harmony and vocal blend abilities while you rehearse. This module includes a masterclass hosted by a prominent guest vocalist who will share their vast industry expertise.

Many factors contribute to a successful performance. Across this module, you’ll learn how to organise and select your repertoire, run rehearsals, and improve your confidence on stage. You’ll also get the chance to perform your solo and ensemble pieces in front of family and friends as part of an unforgettable live gig experience at our Queen’s Park performance venue.

Now that you’ve strengthened your stage presence, it’s time to take it to the studio. In this module, you’ll learn the ins and outs of navigating session vocals, including microphone and vocal production basics, and technique considerations unique to a recording studio environment. You’ll also learn how to work with a producer, including music studio etiquette and how to handle feedback.

In this module, you’ll cover how to record successfully at home and in a studio recording booth, as you work directly with a producer to record, edit, comp and mix two final projects: your solo track and the group ensemble piece. These will become fully realised demos that capture your unique sound, ready to be shared.
