DictionHelper.com™ is a targeted tool for a particular stage
of the process of learning a song. The tool maximizes the
efficiency of practicing and learning foreign-language song diction, especially
for young singers and those who are new to singing serious vocal literature in
foreign languages.
 | It's fast! Instantly find a
song, download the mp3, and it's yours. |
| It's convenient! Any time you or
your student wants to review or practice the pronunciation, just listen to the
recording. No waiting until the next lesson, losing valuable practice
time or risking practicing an incorrect concept. Available 24/7/365. |
| It's flexible! We suggest
listening several times while watching the musical score. Then, chant or
speak along with the recordings. Stop and start as often as you like to
practice difficult passages. As you become more familiar with the text, vary
the speed to develop fluidity. You'll devise your own ways to practice that
work for you. |
| It's efficient! If you are a choral
director with many students to prepare, your time is at a premium.
Languages may not be your strong suit. DictionHelper.com™ allows
you to work within your strengths, save time, and delegate the diction to a
trusted source. If you are a voice teacher, why not encourage
your students to be as prepared as possible before each voice lesson?
Spend less time nagging, more time enjoying the polishing, musicianship,
technique, and interpretive aspects of the voice lesson. If you are a
singer, we at DictionHelper.com™ are here to help you prepare one
aspect of your best possible performance. End wasted time and
frustration in practicing. Enjoy your new abilities as you perfect the
diction of your foreign-language songs. |
| It's collaborative! Continue to
work with your teacher to refine and polish the diction, making necessary
vowel modifications for your vocal range. DictionHelper.com™ is
your "entry level" to learning the pronunciation. The possibilities for
improvement are limitless! |
| It's responsive! If a song from
your repertoire is not in our database, just fill out our "Feedback" form and
submit it. We'll add your song and make the recording available within
the week (and frequently sooner). We'll email you when it's available,
so you can return and download it at that time. And if, GOD FORBID, you
should find a MISTAKE in the pronunciation, please let us know about that, as
well. We will correct the mistake and send you a new download at no
charge. |
| It's inexpensive! At just
$1.99 per download, each recording includes two "tracks:" a
one-syllable per beat reading at slow tempo, and a reading in the musical
rhythm of the song. Most recordings are between 5 and 8 minutes long.
You'd pay a language coach upwards of $40 per hour for this instruction, so
use DictionHelper.com™! |
