Take your voice to the gym with the Vocal Workout CD. The CD contains exercises for vocal development which will help extend the range, tone and power of your voice. The workout CD can also be used as a pre-performance warm-up. It contains a series of exercises with varying levels of difficulty. Each exercise is explained as you go, and once you have the hang of it you can skip to track 29 and warm up without any interruptions.
The CD has the benefit of Jo’s 16 years music tuition experience as well as professional work as a musician, composer, conductor, arranger, vocal coach, singer, producer and director. Jo was music teacher for the BBC’s Fame Academy, and the German Pop Idol tour. As a music coach, she has worked with many artists including Sting, 911, The Spice Girls, Mel B, and Damage, M People (Brit Awards), Shania Twain, and regularly acts as a consultant to performing arts colleges and theatre companies in the UK.
Each of the 14 exercises are explained beforehand and cover pitch, staccato, legato, placing your voice, abdominal support, diction, control and ad libs.
Not sure which of our vocal cds to buy?
We'd recommend the Musicademy one as the best warm up tool and ideal for people who have had limited professional vocals training previously - its very accessible and easy to work with. The Vocal Workout CD is a much higher level workout and more suited to people who have previously had vocals training and really want to extend their ability. Sing Happy is great for more classically trained singers, and as it's let by a man, great for guys too (although guys will be fine with our other CDs too).
Customer Review
"Great CD for a vocal warmup and workout. Different topics are covered across the vocal spectrum - from scales, octaves, pitch, diction, control and placement of vocals. There are step by step exercises guided through by Jo, then you can run the exercises without the guidance. There's also a vocal improvisation tune which encourages you to lift the roof off your house as you put into practice your vocal workout!"

I use them every day I have found a distinct improvement with my range, tone and support. Also they are good fun.

"My praise team and I ordered your vocal warm-up techniques CD and have been utilizing it in our rehearsals and before Sunday morning ministry for over a year now. We love it!!
Those of us that are faithfully using it have seen our voices grow leaps and bounds and our congregation hears the maturity, both vocally and spiritually in our sound. Tools such as this are priceless! Thanks from all of us at New Creation Praise Team."

Jo Noel-Hartley says “I have compiled what I find to be the most necessary exercises for a singer to warm-up effectively. This CD will help you with your control, extend your range, develop your sense of pitch and help you to experiment with creating your own melodies and ad libs”.
