2. Try Our Five-Day Vocal Workout
The SongShine Five-Day Vocal Workout provides five sets of vocal exercises to be practiced, one set each day. It’s like going the gym for vocal athletes. Instead of treadmills, rowing machines, or weights, you will work out with humming, diction exercises, breath support, soft palate strengtheners, smooth flowing tone production, range extension, and vocal strength building. Each exercise is designed to keep your voice limber and healthy. Once you are familiar with all the exercises, you may want to repeat one or two of the days so you can have a six- or seven-day routine. Most important: enjoy your vocal workout!

3. Stay Strong with this Video Series for SongShineStudents
Our 8-part video series is an additional resource for SongShine participants and students to continue practicing and strengthening their voices beyond the classroom. Each video replicates the speech and vocal exercises, breathing techniques, and vocal techniques used in the SongShine program, helping participants establish regular practice habits and build confidence in their voices.
Whether you are practicing at home or revisiting familiar exercises between classes, these sessions are designed to support your continued growth, encourage meaningful self-expression, and empower you to communicate with greater strength, clarity, and confidence.
