Voice technique, singing on key & getting the foundation right so we can build from here.
When you start learning something new like singing, the easiest way is to study, learn from and even imitate singers who you admire.
In this course, you will learn basic voice technique,
We are starting a LIVE ONLINE course in the beginning of March. The program will take 8 weeks to complete. All lessons will be taught on ZOOM and you will receive weekly audios with voice exercises.
You do not need to audition for this course. However, at the end of this term there is a performance which will be your audition to join part 2 of the course.
Songwriting from the heart, is not for the faint of heart
Writing hit songs is one thing, writing from your heart is something else.
At Sauti Academy, we encourage singers to write their own music. Even if that means that you willl write 100 bad songs before you write a great song. Song writing is a muscle that you need to develop.
We will announce song writing workshops here soon!
Many artists and music industry professionals struggle with their mental wellbeing. At Sauti Academy, we talk about it.
Over the years, we have lost too many young artists to mental health challenges, unhealthy lifestyles and addiction issues.
At Sauti Academy, we acknowledge that there’s a need to create safe spaces where everything can be discussed.
Our founder Natalie is a Master NLP Coach. She runs a coaching practice where she helps professional speak their minds freely.
Setting goals, making plans & achieving them…!
Most successful artists have this in common:
They don’t just hope for success; they make it happen.
