VOXLETICS
A major growth initiative of Maxfield Music is VOXLETICS, a fitness-based vocal training program created by Kristen Maxfield to help singers get stage-ready.
VOXLETICS addresses a gap Kristen has seen throughout her work with middle school, high school, and private voice students: many singers are not physically prepared for the demands of live performance. Students may have beautiful voices, but they also need stamina, breath control, core engagement, physical strength, and confidence to carry that voice into rehearsals, productions, auditions, concerts, and the stage.
VOXLETICS combines vocal training and fitness-based stamina work to help singers raise the level of their performance. The program helps students connect the voice and body so they can sing with more strength, confidence, endurance, and stage presence.
