ASSESSMENT SESSION PREP RECOMMENDATIONS
The Assessment Session is a time where you can get some detailed commentary about your voice from the Studio. In order to do that, we have to hear your voice enough to be able to provide the feedback you’re looking for.
We highly recommend the following tips and tricks to get the best out of your Assessment Session:
Come vocally warmed up and ready to go. By this, we just mean vocalize for a little bit - like between five to fifteen minutes before the Session itself. That way, your voice is revved up and ready to go.
Think about and prepare to let us hear your voice. A vital part of the Assessment Session is to hear your voice. So we recommend thinking about what you want to render during your session. Remember, for the session, the Studio will not recommend or suggest any material for you to perform, so it is completely up to you to have a piece prepared.
Singers
Typically, you will sing the entire song (~4 minutes) during your Assessment Session. This song should be whatever song you’d like. This song can be a song you wrote, a song you know, or a song you’re working on that’s up on its feet. At the end of the day, we highly recommend using a song that you choose. Since this is your Assessment, let us hear what you want us to assess.
If you are stumped with a song to choose, you can also choose any song from the playlist we compiled below or use the playlist as idea starter to choose your own song.
Speakers
Typically, you will speak for at least five (5) minutes during your Assessment Session. So to do that, we highly recommend finding an excerpt that shows us your voice in the way you’d like for us to hear. Maybe you want to pull out a monologue? Or use a transcript from your podcast? You could even want to use a part of a recent sermon you wrote? Whatever you choose, make sure you’re confirmable with it.
If you’re not sure of what to do for your session, we complied a few excerpts and such from our resources. You can use one of these if you’d like.
This should be enough to get you thinking about your Assessment Session with the Studio. And once you confirm your Assessment Session with the Studio, you will get more recommendations and instructions via email.
