Evidence of the ability to: - investigate and choose a suitable repertoire - do vocal warm-ups and warm-downs - perform a selected set of exercises and/or studies according to safe and healthy work practices perform at least three pieces by memory demonstrating: - following agreed tempi - adjusting intonation - use of musical techniques to enhance performance - develop plans for own skill development. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must: - describe physiology and anatomy of the human voice relevant to voice range and scope, and vocal techniques - describe physical problems that may affect voice, and explain how to care for voice - describe relevant repertoire to the selected area of specialisation - describe exercises for developing vocal technique - outline health and safety principles as they apply to vocal performance.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - relevant accompaniment, instruments and/or equipment - suitable acoustic space - opportunities to demonstrate improvement in vocal techniques. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
