We’ve spent some time before talking about the history of singing. We know it’s been a part of human history since before humans were even recognisable as such, but what about recording? When was the first recording of a human singing? Recording technology hasn’t been around all that long. Though some people have hypothesised a […]
A few weeks ago, we talked about overtone singing in preparation for a workshop with Lunatraktors, but while doing our research, we came across another fascinating extend vocal technique. While overtones are high ethereal notes that dance about an octave above the normal singing voice, undertones are their inverse. Undertones are low, droning sounds that […]

It is hot, hot, hot – that can only mean one thing! We are back for a summer term of singing our hearts out and melting in the sunshine (it’s a good job our rehearsals are in the evening)! From now until the end of July BIGMOUTH are back and rehearsing vigorously for a very […]
The human voice is an incredibly versatile instrument. Through choir practice, you’ll have heard first-hand some of the incredible things the voice can do but the possibilities are truly endless. From rapping and screaming to beatboxing and complex overtone techniques, no one singer can claim to be a master of every vocal technique, and researchers […]

BIGMOUTH Chorus is moving just down the road to The Old Kent Market, directly opposite Turner Contemporary in Margate. We are really excited! It is only a quarter of a mile along the beach from our previous venue, has a great acoustic and is a real community space at the hub of Margate. We’d like to […]
What a year it’s been! Every year with Bigmouth is a great year, new faces and new songs make all the difference, and it’s truly something special to see familiar faces with us, returning each year to lend their voices to the choir. In many ways, it’s sad to be breaking up for the summer […]
Hello all! We wanted to update you on some key developments in our concert preparations – just to make you even more excited! We’ve started inviting members of the choir to try out singing solos to see if they’d like to in the concert – these will be decided for certain at the start of […]
Summer is definitely on the horizon, and with that comes the heat. While it may be great for relaxing by the beach, the heat can actually throw a spanner in the works when it comes to singing. Heat can dry your throat out, pollen counts are super high and we have plenty of opportunities to […]

Now the Summer break is drawing to an end, we have a brand new year of Bigmouth to look forward to. This means it’s time to dust off those rusty pipes and get singing again! While we’d love to think everybody has remained diligent in their personal practice of singing, we know the allure of […]
There’s a lot of things to love about learning to sing in a choir. Of course, there’s the sense of community. Obviously, you learn to sing, and sure, you get time with a teacher who can offer constant feedback and support but one thing we don’t talk about enough is the setting of goals. Goals […]
