2 Part Course: Therapeutic Techniques For Healing The Injured Voice Suitable For SLPs/VRCs And Singing Teachers

Thursday 20th October 2022, 7:30 PM - Tuesday 25th October 2022 7:30 PM (London Time)

Part 1

Voice teachers and singers are invited to learn about the primary methods used in voice therapy for healing the injured voice.

Course participants will learn about the research that supports these methods, indications for use, and any contraindications.

Participants will be given the opportunity to experience several of the techniques in class.

 

Part 2

Voice teachers and singers who have already completed Therapeutic Techniques for Healing the Injured Voice (Part 1) are invited to join this higher-level course to discuss critical thinking as it pertains to developing a plan of care for the complex voice patient.

Several case studies will be discussed in class with the goal of establishing a hierarchy of decision-making and planning.

The class will work from a skills checklist and then determine how and when the singing teacher may participate in the remediation 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.
