What is Vocal HIIT? Inside Cheryl Porter’s 10-SONG POWER CIRCUIT

What is Vocal HIIT

If you’ve ever done a fast-paced workout that left you breathless but stronger afterwards, you’ve probably tried HIIT, High-Intensity Interval Training. In the fitness world, HIIT is about powerful bursts of effort followed by short recovery periods, helping you build strength, endurance, and stamina in less time.

Now, imagine applying that same concept to your voice.

That’s exactly what world-renowned vocal coach Cheryl Porter has done with her BOOM! The Big 10! Program, featuring the electrifying 10-SONG POWER CIRCUIT, a high-energy, quick, but impactful daily vocal workout. It’s not just singing scales or humming tunes. It’s vocal HIIT: a structured, music-backed routine that conditions your voice like an athlete trains their body.

Let’s dive into what Vocal HIIT is, how Cheryl uses it in her 10-SONG POWER CIRCUIT, and why it’s become a must-have tool for singers, especially if you’re just starting or eager to level up fast.

What Is Vocal HIIT?

Vocal HIIT is a training method that mimics physical HIIT workouts, but for your vocal cords. It consists of short, intense vocal exercises (like quick pitch runs, power belting, and breath-control drills) followed by brief rest periods or cooldowns. These vocal bursts challenge your voice to grow stronger, more agile, and more reliable over time.

Instead of jumping jacks or squats, think:

  • Lip trills with dynamic range shifts
  • Fast staccato scales
  • Long sustained notes
  • Vocal agility drills
  • Diaphragmatic breathing exercises

And what makes Cheryl Porter’s approach stand out? It’s set to music, rhythmic, performance-style instrumentals that make you feel like you’re already on stage.

“The voice is an instrument, and like any instrument, it needs to be tuned, challenged, and taken care of.” — Cheryl Porter.

 Introducing the 10-SONG POWER CIRCUIT

At the heart of Cheryl’s BOOM! The Big 10! The course is the 10-SONG POWER CIRCUIT, a complete, no-fluff vocal fitness system that trains your voice in under 15 minutes daily. Designed for singers of all levels, it works especially well for beginners and younger voices that are still developing proper technique.

What It Includes:

  • 10 unique daily routines, each with a different musical backing and a challenge.
  • 8–10 vocal drills per session, tailored for power, pitch, breath, and control.
  • Backing tracks in multiple keys, so every voice type can join in.
  • Downloadable sheet music and tracks, so you can practice anywhere.
  • Short and effective workouts, no long warm-ups needed.

Each “song” in the circuit works like a training station in a vocal gym, pushing your voice just enough to grow without straining it.

Why Cheryl’s Vocal HIIT Works

Just like athletes train their muscles with intensity and repetition, Cheryl’s Vocal HIIT builds your vocal strength through:

  • Consistency: 10–15 minutes daily is all it takes.
  • Repetition: Muscle memory is activated by singing challenging lines over and over.
  • Progression: Routines get harder as your voice adapts.
  • Musicality: Training with music helps internalise timing, rhythm, and phrasing.

Whether you’re preparing for a school performance, choir audition, gig, or just singing in your room, this method helps you build lasting skill, not just temporary vocal highs.
