2-Part Course: An Introduction To Endoscopic Interpretation

Thursday 13th October 2022, 7:30 PM - Tuesday 18th October 2022 7:30 PM (London Time)

Part 1

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

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.

"Throaty Sounds": Cross-linguistics, Health, & Pedagogy!

Dayle Towarnicky

Glottal stops, vocal fry, creaky voice, and more! There are many types of “throaty sounds” that we make in spoken languages and simply in vocal expression. Many practitioners have historically expressed strong views about the health or use of throaty sounds: considering them risky or unhealthy, as well as displeasing. Join Dayle Towarnicky as she reconsiders the narrative around glottals and vocal fry to support our students' use of speech!

The Art of Teaching the Female Musical Theatre Voice!

Dr. Christianne Roll

The female musical theatre belt sound originated on the Broadway stage in 1930, mostly associated with Ethel Merman and her vocal performance of the song “I Got Rhythm,” in the Gershwin musical, Girl Crazy. In the almost 100 years since the origin of the female musical theatre belt voice, the sound has become almost synonymous with Broadway itself. Join Dr Christianne Roll as she discusses the up-to-date strategies and techniques to create this exciting vocal production for each specific singer.
