This workshop is an excellent opportunity to get the support one needs for vocalizing and improving voice technique and the quality of sound production.
Free up your voice with the master musician Manickam Yogeswaran, who was the first Tamil singer who reached Hollywood when he sang Jocelyn pook’s sound track for Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut” track name: “Migration”(1999).
