Watch Mark Baxter coach four live singers on Zoom — original songs, covers, a laryngitis emergency, and a college-bound belter — in one IVTOM masterclass.

Mark Baxter works with four singers in real time and lets you watch every decision. You'll learn his safe / challenge / alarm circles — and why the listener hears those same three zones as okay, captivating and stressful. He coaches a songwriter to drop the practiced grimace face and let the face and voice work independently, shows how choosing a cross-genre, cross-gender cover (Billie Eilish, Metallica) reveals an artist instead of inviting comparison, and applies "show, don't tell" to lyric writing. Then he rescues a working singer with laryngitis using low-volume deep oo and "key" exercises with the tongue held, and pulls a bigger, brighter sound from a musical theatre student using divergent and convergent resonators. For teachers and performing singers.
