Funky ‘n Fun 1
Vocal Exercises (Beginner to Intermediate)

The original version of “Funky ‘n Fun 1” first arrived on the scene in 2000. It was one of the first of its kind in the world – a ‘new millenium’ way to address the needs & tastes of contemporary vocalists who for too long had to make do with classically-based exercises that they didn’t relate to. Not anymore!

In 2009 a completely re-recorded, revamped version was released with male vocals added and several of the exercises modified and improved from the first version. “Funky ‘n Fun 1” is by far the top seller of the “Funky ‘n Fun” series!

It is primarily designed for beginners through to intermediate level pop singers as a ‘taster’ for ways that they can start to improve their singing technique: e.g. warm-ups, breath management, tonal development, pitch accuracy, range extension, flexibility, articulation etc.

This compilation is an introduction to contemporary vocal exercising and is designed to be a motivator to develop the voice more and more with the remaining products in the series. More experienced singers will find “Funky ‘n Fun 1” useful as a warm-up resource.
