2 We’ve all experienced the overwhelming power of a truly exceptional vocal performance. introduCharismatic vocalists can enrapture festival fields full of adoring fans; a back-to-basics a cappella solo spot can bring a whole arena to tears; and few musical experiences are more enchanting than bearing witness to a world-class choir as they run through timeless gospel tunes, or act as backing vocalists to bands of equally passionate musicians. Picturection a rock or pop star, and at least one of history’s most celebrated vocalists will instantly spring to mind.
No matter which style or genre you love the most, an ACM education will enable you to gain complete control of the human race’s oldest instrument. Choose the path of the professional vocalist, and you will earn your peers’ respect and admiration as your voice evolves, and becomes yours and yours alone. You’ll also be perfectly prepared to stand onstage, whether front and centre or as part of the backline, and let the world know what you’re all about. Turn the page to get started.
