Speech Level Singing
in London

Speech Level Singing is a way of training your voice that allows you to sing freely and clearly throughout your range, with a balanced tone and with no gaps or breaks.

SLS is not a style or a “sound” but a healthy and natural vocal technique which can be applied to any type of music.

Overview of SLS

Speech Level Singing is a method for teaching the "mix" or middle voice. It was devised by LA based master-teacher Seth Riggs. Over the past few years an organisation has been developed which trains teachers and monitors strict teaching standards around the world through an Instructor Management Team, ("IMT") headed by Dave Stroud.

Seth Riggs' amazingly effective Speech Level training techniques are useful for singers who want maximum range and consistent quality of tone, and will show you a balanced approach to overcoming vocal difficulties. Professional level singers wanting to know more about keeping their voices reliable and sounding thier best will enjoy the clear approach to understanding and using the vocal instrument. Young & developing singers who adopt SLS methods early in their vocal studies will find that they have a vocal technique that will provide a stable foundation for whatever style of music they wish to sing.

For the developing singer, the outstanding clarity of ideas and effectiveness of the teaching methods mean rapid progress towards vocal goals. For the advanced singer, a visit to an SLS teacher is like a precision tune-up for the voice, keeping it functioning at peak performance. And of course, the standardised goals and methods, and growing international network of expert teachers certified by the Seth Riggs organisation means that you can find an SLS teacher in many centres around the world.
