Singing for business

Put some SPARKLE into your business conference.

Make your key messages UNFORGETTABLE

The SINGVOCAL warm up session.
This is the ideal way to start the conference day for delegates may have arrived the previous evening or have travelled that morning. A warm up session will make sure that they are receptive and ready to take on the key messages of the conference. The warm up session will include some basic physical moves to increase the heart rate and stimulate blood flow to the brain. Breathing exercises will assist the delegates that are making a presentation. Listening exercises will ensure that delegates are ready to receive the conference information. Examples: Sessions such as ZIP ZAP ZOP engage the brain and encourage team work by establishing verbal communication combined with eye-contact and physical presence. 123456 SWITCH is a fun ice-breaker that can be either sung or spoken.This exercise helps to warm up the voice and has some simple actions to provide a physical element to the session. The warm up session can be tailored to run between 20~40 minutes subject to conference timing.

After lunch lift.
The first session in the afternoon often referred to as the graveyard slot as delegates may start to feel sleepy as they sit in a warm room digesting their lunch. Singing a 'round' will lift the audience into a receptive mood. Simple rounds such as London's Burning can have the words modified to connect to key messages from the morning session. Adding some relevant and easy actions will raise the attention level and prepare the audience for the afternoon sessions. The after-lunch lift should take 10~15 minutes.

Reinforcing the message.
Song words are often memorised far easier than other forms of verbal communication. The combination of music and words can activate the long-term memory receptors in the brain sometimes making even new songs sound like memorable classics. In this session we divide the delegates into small groups and provide them with a choice of professionally recoded backing tracks for well known songs. The task is for delegates to re-word the song to carry the selected message from the conference, this could be based on product features, special offer details or any other message that needs to be give the X-factor treatment!. At SINGVOCAL we have experience with re-wording songs and can help the groups with phrasing and scan. At the end of the session the groups perform the songs to each other with prizes awarded for the best songs. The song rewording session should take around 1 hour.

The Evening Event.
If the conference includes an evening event then SINGVOCAL can also provide the entertainment for this. Depending on the numbers involved and the intended style of the event then SINGVOCAL can prove a wide variety of entertainment such as the Barbershop Quartet CHORDINATION or the retro singing duo LAZYDAYZ.
