2-Part Course: An Introduction To Endoscopic Interpretation
with Kerrie Obert
Thursday 13th & Tuesday 18th October 2022 at 7:30-9:30pm BST

Part 1

Thursday 13th October

7:30-9:30pm BST

Voice Teachers and singers are invited to this course to learn about the voice through the lens of the endoscopic examination.

Learn about the diagnostic process from the entrance to the nasal passage to the vocal folds.

Discover how the endoscopic process informs the physician, the vocalist, and the singing teacher.

Learn why the rush to see the vocal folds often bypasses some of the most useful information in the higher pharynx.

Part 2

Tuesday 18th October

7:30-9:30pm BST

Voice teachers and singers who have attended An Introduction to Endoscopic Interpretation Part One are invited to join this course to learn about stroboscopic evaluation.

In this class participants will learn about mucosal waves and how the amplitude of these is directly related to the strength of the harmonics and overall spectral envelope.

Learn how to rate these discrete features and understand how they relate to the diagnostic process.

Emily Newton

My name is Emily Newton Mattice. I am an opera singer, currently in the ensemble at Staatstheater Nürnberg. I am enrolled in the Master of Arts Voice Pedagogy program.

My MA research has been varied, covering operetta, acoustic pedagogy, and technology in the voice studio. I’m planning to combine all three for my final research project to track performance practice trends in operetta.

Studying evidence-based pedagogy has improved my diagnostics when working with students and given me practical ideas to take into my work as a voice teacher.

I would encourage international applicants to consider the program, which is extremely cost-competitive for international students.

Not only have I benefited immensely from the short online courses and online video library, but I have learned a lot from fellow students, whose diverse backgrounds and research targets have inspired me and expanded my knowledge of the industry. In particular, I am thankful to Debbie Winter, whose astounding talent for big thinking has helped guide and focus me, when I felt lost in the academic weeds. In addition, I appreciate the program’s focus on sound research methodology, a skill that enables students of the program to ultimately submit their research for publication and prepares a foundation for potential doctoral studies.
