VPC and VFC both have their unique focuses. While VFC is primarily a vocal technique program that aims to enhance the mechanics of your voice and make it stronger, VPC is a comprehensive performance program covering the techniques and methods used in the art of stage performance, helping the singer execute more powerful performances and move their audiences.

In VPC, we delve into the intricacies of creating dynamic and emotionally captivating vocal performances. We focus on the “peaks and valleys” of a vocal performance, learning how to architecturally structure a song or arrangement for maximum impact. This approach allows the song to build, creating powerful peaks that resonate with listeners on a deeper and more exciting level.

VPC is not just about mastering the craft of vocal delivery; it’s about crafting performances that leave a lasting impression. By combining stage performance, vocal performance techniques, and vocal arranging methods, VPC equips you with the tools to elevate your performances to new heights, , ones you didn’t even know you could reach on stage or in the studio.

Vocal arranging is the art of creating a well thought out structured arrangement that heightens the vocals within a song. It involves strategically placing vocal elements, embellishments, ad-libs, melismas, oo’s and ah’s, well placed vibrato and peak moments and dynamic changes to enhance the song’s emotional impact. Vocal arranging is like building the architecture of a performance or recording, ensuring that the vocals complement the lyrics and instrumentation and enhancing the vocalist’s natural voice to guide the listener on a well crafted peak emotional journey. In VPC, you’ll learn all of these awe-inspiring techniques and vocal performance methods to craft outstanding and emotionally compelling vocal arrangements that truly elevate your music, performances and recordings.

Here is a video from artist, Robyn Cage that explains a bit more on how Vocal Arranging works:

Yes! The Vocal Performance Circle (VPC) is designed as a fully digital program, allowing artists from anywhere in the world to participate. Irrespective of your location, you can join our online classes via Zoom. This has enabled us to connect with artists from diverse corners of the globe, from the U.S. to Canada, Australia to Asia, Europe, Africa, The Netherlands, and more. Our live sessions, class replays, study materials, and vocal exercises are accessible on various devices, be it your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

2 hours per week for the Zoom Class and about 20 minutes a day for practice. We also recommend a longer session to work on your songs 1-2x a week. 

It sounds simple, I know!  Many studies have shown that shorter practice sessions over longer periods of time get the best and most lasting results. 

The Vocal Performance System gets results–but applying these techniques is up to you!

1. You’ll tell us! We hear you! Which is why we have designed VPC to be in a “live class” setting with direct access to our team. We know that real, live feedback and guidance is the best way to truly learn and make an impact on your music and career.
2. Here is what our vocal students are saying…

“Cari’s vocal method is incredible! When I started writing and recording 4 years ago, I felt like there was a performer hidden inside of me that was waiting to come out. I had this deep desire to express the full range of emotions in a wild, powerful way, and express my full artistic vision through my voice. In just a few months of using Cari’s vocal method, I feel I am closer than ever to that dream.. It can be hard to create a disciplined daily practice, but when you really see the results and have fun doing it, it’s easy. I will be using this for so many years to come, and I am so grateful to have found Cari and this resource that keeps on giving.”

~ TESS POSNER

No. The majority of The Vocal Freedom Circle curriculum is built around a LIVE class system and is not pre-recorded. Classes are 1x per week and replays are available for download within 24 hours of each class. 

If you participated in 10 live 2 hour coaching sessions with me, you’d pay around $10,000 for the vocal sessions alone. Add to that a vocal performance method and system with a value of at least $10,000, and all the other tools and bonuses I’m providing, and you’re looking at a total investment of $35,000. So how do we sell it for so cheap, relatively speaking? In a course format this allows us to sell to many vs. one where we can sell at a reasonable cost to you.

One of the keys of your success as a singer and artist is learning and growing in a supportive community where you can get the support you need from like-minds. It’s also where you will grow the fastest because issues arise with other people and it’s often easier to see it in others which helps you grow! You can also fall behind in your own practice when you’re isolated on your own—and being around others doing the work is incredibly inspiring and motivating! 

“The problem with doing private lessons and never having group classes is you don’t ever get a chance to see when other people are also struggling and then maybe areas where you’re doing better than someone else and vice versa. I really appreciate this because everyone’s been so incredibly vulnerable and talking about their struggles and it’s helped me realize it’s not just me!” ~ Jessie Riemann

“Cari Cole is the ultimate vocal coach. Her understanding of the voice and its complexities, is not only comprehensive, meticulous and in-exhaustive, but her additional knowledge regarding everything in the music industry makes her my guiding light. I simply don’t know what I would have done without her!” ~ Jess Best

Absolutely. As a singer, you are always training the voice at all levels of your career. The voice is an instrument, and in order to maintain your progress and prevent vocal injury, it is important to maintain your vocal shape and health. 

The Cole Vocal Method taught inside The Vocal Freedom Circle is a world-class vocal technique used by Grammy winners and can help any voice step into their highest potential. 

To stand on that stage and deliver, sing powerfully on your recordings, and maintain the stamina to sing night after night on tour, your voice needs to be in shape. All famous singers and artists know the value of training, so much that singers train an entire year just to go out on one tour.  

Even famous tenor Luciano Pavarotti said, “If I go three days without vocalizing, the voice is gone.” ~ Luciano Pavarotti

Your daily practice and vocal health is critical to your career. The acclaimed classical guitarist Andres Segovia, one of the most famous classical guitarists of all time (and teacher), knew the value of daily practice so much that he wouldn’t go a day without it. “If I miss a day of practice, I know it. If I miss two days, my manager knows it. If I miss three days, my audience knows it.” ~ Andres Segovia
