“Create The Sound You Want With The CVT Vocal Technique”

In this masterclass with Louis van Dijk, singers will explore how to intentionally shape and control their voice using the principles of Complete Vocal Technique (CVT). The session will focus on practical tools that help singers identify, understand, and reproduce different vocal sounds in a healthy and sustainable way.

Participants will learn how to recognize various vocal qualities using CVT terminology and develop the technical awareness needed to recreate these sounds in their own voice. By understanding how the voice works, singers will gain more control, flexibility, and confidence in their performance.

Topics covered in this class include:

• Support – learning how breath support helps stabilize and strengthen the voice
• Vocal Modes – understanding the four primary vocal modes in CVT and how they shape vocal expression
• Sound Colour – discovering how to adjust brightness and darkness to create the desired vocal tone

A central focus of the masterclass will be the four vocal modes in CVT: Neutral, Curbing, Overdrive, and Edge. Participants will learn how to identify these modes in music and apply them in their own singing to create specific stylistic effects while maintaining vocal health.

By the end of the session, singers will gain practical tools to recognize different vocal sounds, understand how they are produced, and confidently apply them in their own singing.
