Course Headline: Storytelling for Singers
Ever felt like your rendition of a song was just missing that something? Like you could connect more deeply with the words, but you're not quite sure how? Make the most of your lyrics! is where your journey to become a masterful storyteller through song begins. 🎶✨
Course Description:
"Ilse, sing us a song!" It was a moment that would define my approach to music forever. At a lively gathering with an audience unfamiliar with jazz legend Abbey Lincoln, I chose a song that tested the waters of cultural familiarity and linguistic nuance. The result? A roomful of laughter at my expense. But from this humble beginnings, my passion for lyrics was born. 📚❤️
As an aspiring singer, I quickly realized that the true power of a performance lies within the words—the lyrics. They are the vessel for emotion, narrative, and connection between artist and audience. This course is the distillation of my 25 years of experience in the realm of song, where I share my top 10 tools for delving into the heart of a lyric.
