Audio Samples
These vocal exercise audio samples from voice lesson CD's will give you an idea of what it is like to be coached by Jeannie Deva. The samples should open with most media software and browsers. The original voice exercise recordings were made in professional studios to high quality CD standards.
In these samples Jeannie Deva refers to "tapes" because these vocal exercises were first released on audio cassettes. The masters were digitally recorded and are currently available on CD. Also she refers to "ribs" or "ribcage" by which she means the ribcage expansion technique of breath support. You learn how to use this technique in Contemporary Vocalist Volume One. All of the vocal exercises in Volume One and Two should be done using this technique of breath support.
In following sample from The Deva Method Vocal Warm-ups and Cool-downs CD, Jeannie Deva discusses warm-ups and vocal exercises in general.
