About Calder
Calder is an experienced vocalist. 18 years professional gigging. Live appearances on BBC radio. Helps fix tension and strain in the voice having overcome these issues himself. Independent artist. Recorded guest vocal for Just Her, released by Suara Records. He studied as a vocal coach via BAST and has been teaching for a number of years, from home, or online and also at Faces Arts Theatre School. He is a Part-Time Lecturer of music at Leicester College. Calder has a 1st Class Honours Degree in Creative Music Production and teaches music BTEC at Leicester College.
Calder's lessons are centred around understanding the mechanics of the voice as an instrument. How it actually works, what you are doing when you sing and how to remove unwanted habits and replace them with more optimal technique. He learned the hard way about singing with strain, tension and poor technique, ending with an operation, like many famous singers, after years of over-zealous performances and an incredibly busy schedule. Calder has spent years studying the voice to breakdown the habits that caused issues, so he could fix his voice and maintain consistency. He is very passionate about understanding the voice as an instrument.
He knows from experience where problems can arise and is astute at coaching towards vocal freedom and improvement.
Lessons are always different for each student but time will be spent discussing their needs and aims. Song choices are best to come from the singer. Calder will track and share afterwards any discussions, exercises covered, breakthrough moments, and other key points from each session, to monitor progress and the inevitable ups and downs of the journey.
He will offer a range of exercises aimed towards precise changes in habit. Specifically choosing particular exercises designed to make the changes in technique that each singer requires to achieve balance and tonal freedom, whilst expanding and strengthening their range, dynamic control and expression.
Calder is comfortable working with rock, pop, musical theatre or any contemporary style. It's all about working out what the singer is doing currently, helping them understand the functioning of the instrument and helping them feel their way to improvement, whatever the desired outcome, stylistically.
