This course is not just for classical, musical, jazz or pop singers, but caters to all vocalists that want to be able to create the sound and style they want.

This extensive but clear program covers every single aspect of singing from breath support to diction, colouring to sing all styles of voice and artistry. 

The course takes you through every detail of singing step by step and caters to beginning singers that want to develop a strong foundation, to seasoned professional vocalists who are looking to enhance their vocal performance and gaining more indepth understanding of their voice.

The Art and Health of
Free Vocal Expression

Dear Vocalist,

Singing starts with Inspiration. Out of Inspiration comes Expression.
But what, when you forgot how to express yourself?
Or when you feel you lack the proper technique to do so?

 Join us in our Vocal Expression and Technique Program in which we teach you to combine fearless expression and medical science to create authentic and free vocalisation.

If you want to create more vocal freedom, it can be a good thing to step back from singing and focus on evaluating and learning. Transform your technique and learn about the physiology of your instrument itself in a clear and understandable way.
After all, our voice is an instrument by which we can do what we as singers want to do: communicate our feelings in an authentic way, without hesitation.
Only when instrument and messenger are aligned, we can accomplish that!

Enjoy singing with more expression and greater vocal health!

In Master the Art of Vocal Technique and Expression, you will learn, understand, practice and implement everything there is to learn about vocal technique and vocal expression.
In inspiring en interactive vocal lessons, you will learn to sing every song with both mental freedom as physical health. 

Irene's method has been building a strong, supported vocal performance for over a thousand students in the musical theatre, jazz, pop, latin and opera field. Master The Art Of Vocal Technique and Expession was designed to provide in depth coaching for advanced and professional singers, but because of the profound basic depth of the lectures and clear structure, it is also a great place for beginning vocalists, that are serious about taking on the vocal development journey as well.

The Importance Of A
Supporting Vocal Technique

Straining the singing voice, for instance by using belting without proper coordination, can lead to forcing, which in turn can cause vocal deterioration, known as fatigue of the vocal cords. Straining the voice can lead the development of vocal nodules, a form of scarring on the vocal cords caused by strenuous or abusive voice practices.

Vocal Injury Statistics

Approximately 7.5 million people in the United States have trouble using their voices.

Student Singers

As many as 56.5% of student singers report a current voice problem (read article here).
That figure, however, may actually underestimate the true extent of voice problems in student singers, as demonstrated by clinically significant laryngoscopic findings among asymptomatic singing students,
says singing voice specialist and speech-language pathologist, Aaron Ziegler, MA, CCC-SL
(Lundy, D. S., et al. (1999). “Incidence of Abnormal Laryngeal Findings in Asymptomatic Singing Students,” published in Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 121, Issue 1 (July 1999) (read study here)

Professional Singers

But professional singers are at risk, too: 46 percent of professional singers experience voice problems in their career,
as this study in the Journal of Voice stated.

Even famous vocalists have had vocal problems and turned towards surgery, years of rest from singing and daily vocal coaching. Some famous singers known to have developed vocal nodules are Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Freddie Mercury, and Joss Stone. Singers known to have their vocal nodules surgically treated are Justin Timberlake, Sam Smith, Adele, Björk, Shirley Manson, Keith Urban, John Mayer, Elton John (who complained that his voice significantly deepened) and Rod Stewart. Julie Andrews is well known for her singing voice being permanently damaged by the surgery. 

Research by Massachusetts General Hospital, which analysed a group of elite singers who suffered vocal cord damage, with a total of 240 Grammy award nominations among them, showed that 90% of those injuries was the result of vocal trauma and lack of technique (“Innovations in Laryngeal Surgery”),March 2019 issue of Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology).
It is only after they sought proper vocal coaching and months (and years) of vocal rest, that they were able to continue singing. About 30% could never sing again.

Contemporary commercial music and musical theater first-year students were found to have more vocal fold pathologies compared with classical students in a study led by researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

 "In these studies, the unanimous conclusion was, that classical vocal training, based on science and the Italian School of Singing is seen as the best vocal training for all styles of vocalists.
