This course offers an in-depth exploration of contemporary vocal styles with a strong emphasis on visual storytelling, music video production, and the creation of short-form performance content. Students will examine and perform material from a wide range of styles—including rock, pop, country, R&B, folk, disco, rap, and poetic/lyric-driven music—while learning to identify and embody the vocal traits that make each genre unique. The semester culminates in the creation of a personalized music video and short-form performance recordings suitable for social media or promotional materials.
