Opera singer and vocal coach Elizabeth Zharoff approaches every genre and style of singing with enthusiasm and an infectious joie de vivre. We were immediately drawn to her pursuit of science-backed emotional impact through singing: getting deep into the connections between the body, brain, and voice. To that effect, we collaborated to create a library of vocal phrases across a variety of themes to bring that mood-lifting energy to projects of many different natures.
With a focus on evocative sound and ease of use, Charisma Volume 1 includes 111 wordless phrases in the following categories:
- Arabian Nights
- Classical Elegance
- Climactic Drama
- Epic Trailer
- Horror
- In Awe
- Lulls
- Mournful
- Open Seas
- Verismo
Each phrase was recorded in four keys for maximum versatility, and can be searched via functional parameters (such as tempo, vowel, and mode) to give you the easiest access to the sound you seek: pick your mood, key, and meter, and you’ll have the perfect line in seconds. In addition to the phrases, the library features single note samples to flesh out melodic lines with extra flexibility, including “Ah” and “Oo” vowels, with light and strong vibrato, at two dynamics. Also included are 15 playable atmosphere sounds, which morph and transform Elizabeth’s voice into hybrid sound design elements.
