“There is no other DVD like this one! Dr. Fagnan’s presentation of Bel Canto principles is the clearest that I have ever seen. His use of aural examples from his choral workshops and accompanying acoustical visual representations of the sound reinforce why and how this technique works so well. I use this DVD with my high school choirs and they love it. Many of the choristers said that this was the most helpful tool to understanding their own voice that they had ever experienced. As a conductor, it has truly helped my understanding of good vocal production and changed the sound of my choirs in one semester. Kudos to Dr. Laurier Fagnan for giving this to the global choral community!”

“Through myriad examples in the DVD of his own fine voice and several choirs’ singing supported by exciting new three-dimensional acoustical analysis techniques, Fagnan easily and persuasively shows us the benefits of applying these time-honoured bel canto vocal techniques to choral singing. We are drawn in quickly by his clear pedagogy as he tackles questions of vowel integrity and modification, and vocal blend and intonation; neither does he shy away from complex paradoxes of vocal technique or even simpler topics such as the distinction between vibration and vibrato. His instruction is musically driven: “move your mouth with your ears!” with the object of a vibrant and vital vocal tone. As lifelong learners, Transform Your Choir’s Sound needs to be in each of our tool kits!”
