VOCAL CHARACTERISTICS SURVEY

EMAIL:  cdchildree@hotmail.com

 

This "Vocal Characteristics Survey" when taken should give you or your student some idea as to what areas are good as well as help realize the areas that need attention to as it pertains to vocals.  I give it to all my students.  It helps me better ascertain what areas we really need to work on in our vocal sessions. 

 

------------------

 

Take this survey for yourself.

It will help you evaluate your own personal vocal habits.

 

Copy and paste in a word document.  Then print it.  Use it as a handout if you choose. 

 

 If you have any questions, email me.  I will be glad to help you in any way I can.

 

KNOWLEDGE

IS  POWER!
