Have you ever watched “Whose Line is It Anyway” and wanted to know how the performers can expertly improvise songs in so many specific genres? Here’s your chance to find out!
In this three-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to approach musical genres and styles in improvised songs from the legend behind the Whose Line keys. Rick and Laura Hall will teach you how to use vocal stylization in a range of genres and how to use movement to enhance those styles.

This is an ideal workshop for any musical improviser looking to expand their repertoire of genres and to understand more deeply the specific vocal and movement choices that underpin those genres.
