Voice Study Centre Alumna Jennifer Rhodes' Research Article Published in Voice and Speech Review!

Friday 14th February 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that Voice Study Centre Alumna Jennifer Rhodes has had her research article published with the Voice and Speech Review!

Titled "Singing in Regional Accents: The Cause for a Teaching Strategy", the article is now available to read here.

In a conversation with Debbie, our Director of Studies, Jennifer shared:

“Thank you so much for prompting me to publish this paper. It took a lot of work, but the editorial team were really thrilled to have this new research on singing in accents, and it has certainly spurred me on to want to do some more research. Since graduating from VSC, I am really enjoying combining my practical work in Singing and Voice with some academic tutoring, and finding it most insightful being able to assist students with academic work.”

Congratulations, Jennifer!
