I attended the WSQ Voice Confidence Course with Hark. Really enjoyed learning under Coach Lydia, she is experienced, skilled, warm, and sensitive to the needs of her students. What we learned in the course is applicable to every aspect of daily life! Learning diaphragm breathing benefits me every moment of the day even when I'm not talking because it's a more relaxing, calming way of breathing. I am used to doing presentations, and I still learned so much from this course. The techniques can also be used to improve singing, which I do for fun! Overall, a great time with Hark.

I had my 1st session/trial with Tara a d she was great, she coached me well, and i was very inspired. We even sang a song by Green Day. Highly recommended

I had the opportunity to attend the vocal expressway class and it was an incredibly rewarding experience.

The teaching style is engaging, patient, and supportive. They take time to explain the rationale behind each exercise and offer constructive feedback that helps you grow. The class environment felt safe and non-judgmental, which encouraged everyone to step outside their comfort zones.

Overall, I highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their singing technique. Whether you’re a beginner or someone with experience

Attended the WSQ Voice Confidence Course in Nov 24, with 6x2hrs training with Director Amos as the trainer. It was a small, intimate class (7pax) where the trainer was able to fully focus on every learner. It was a good experience where i was able to pick up lifelong skills on speaking well and projecting my voice clearly, in my case for work. I especially appreciate the emphasis on breathing correctly when presenting/singing. The videos before and after have cleared showed my progress after 12hrs lessons. Of course it would require constant practice on our own after the course for consistent performance. In summary, I would strongly recommend this course for anyone looking to improve their vocal technique and achieve better results in presentations.

I attended a trial lesson with Coach Tara and decided to continue learning from her after the trial. I loved how patient and encouraging she was, and it was clear from the first lesson that she takes the time to try and understand what specific issues you have. It's been very enjoyable so far, and lessons at Hark are now one of the things I look forward to weekly.

FAQ WSQ Voice Confidence Course

The WSQ Voice Confidence course is adapted from our Vocal EXPRESSWAY® syllabus and is designed to align with SkillsFuture initiatives, aimed at upskilling Singaporeans and PRs in the area of voice confidence.

Key features of our WSQ course:

  • You will be awarded a WSQ certificate upon meeting the criteria in the Final Assessment.
  • There is additional course content which you can apply in speaking and presenting.
    (Our Vocal EXPRESSWAY® course focuses mainly on singing.)
  • Our WSQ course is designed for accelerated skills attainment and is conducted only by our Directors or Senior Coaches.

Anyone who wish to enhance their voice image at workplace or for leisure.

Everyone, including professionals, still faces stage fright. The difference is that professionals have techniques to manage it positively, and this is one of the course objectives.

Let’s break down ‘stage fright’ – it is a common type of anxiety that refers to feeling anxious when standing on stage or in front of people. These anxiety symptoms are usually both physical and emotional.

Hence, in this course, you will be exposed to techniques that will equip you with:

  • Breathing techniques to prevent tension from building up, which leads to mental stress;
  • Warm-up techniques to loosen your body and vocal cords from feeling the tightness in the throat;
  • Core vocal techniques to be used in practical sessions to sing/talk in front of a small audience.

The main focus of this course is to impart to you the essential vocal techniques. 

The vocal techniques taught are applicable to both speaking and singing. The course prioritises helping learners achieve notable progress in speaking, as it is the main criteria in the Course Assessment. Subsequently, optional guidance is available for applying these techniques to singing.

 

– There are a total of 4 x 3-hour sessions conducted on a consecutive weekly basis.

– The Final Assessment for WSQ certification will be conducted during the 4th session.

– As this is a group setting, there is no make-up lesson provided if you are absent from any sessions. However, your trainer will do their best to help you catch up with the missed topic in the following lesson.

Kindly note that if you are absent for 2 or more lessons, you will not be eligible to take the Final Assessment.

This course is specially designed having a group-setting in mind to ensure the effectiveness of the skills application.

Don’t worry, the Final Assessment is not meant to be a daunting task. In fact, it is designed to be a manageable examination/test that allows you to showcase your understanding. Throughout the course, your trainer will be there to support and guide you, providing mentorship and assisting you in meeting the assessment requirements.

The Assessment consists of 2 parts:
1) Short Answer Questions: This is an open-book to demonstrate your understanding in written format.

2) A Role-play: This is to showcase your skills and abilities on the voice techniques.

Trainers will guide and support you throughout the process to ensure your success. 🙂

Great music school. Very structured, with online videos to guide you in various strumming patterns, matched with pop songs, to help you learn at home.

Coach Prue is very alert to check on your fingering and positioning. She also tries to match the new strumming pattern to your own favourite song. She makes sure you learn your piece properly by checking on you playing each week. I really enjoy learning at Hark.

All the staff are very helpful.

School is very advanced. No receptionist. Enrolment and payment done online. Studio has a monitor screen which can quickly project your online music chord sheets to play on class. Their lesson notes include strumming patterns for newer songs, not oldies. Very refreshing.

I joined the voice confidence class with coach Joann. The class was lively and Joann is a patient coach and gave everyone in the class feedback and suggestions to improve. Highly recommended!
