An Introduction to VoceVista
Tuesday 21st May 2024, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
If you want to use VoceVista software (https://www.sygyt.com/en/products/) but are struggling with how to get started, this introductory session will get you oriented and ready to go!
We will cover how to use the programme to visualise various aspects of the singing voice in real time. We will listen to sound samples and explore how to how to analyse lesson, rehearsal, practice, or performance recordings.
This will be a judgment-free zone; I am looking forward to answering all your burning VoceVista how-to questions from a studio teacher’s perspective. I aim to move you from tech-hesitant to tech-enthusiastic before you jump into any additional acoustics scaffolding concepts.

Creative Articulation
Annie Morrison
Most of us have little idea of HOW we speak, or what to do to make speech more muscular. Join Annie Morrison (creator of the 'Morrison Bone Prop') for this two hour session on Creative Articulation, a holistic and haptic approach to the touchings and feelings of the articulators in the dance of speech. Seeing articulation as a purely mechanical skill is detrimental to an actor's process: it is crucial to understand what language is doing on a biological level.

The Science of Sound: Optimizing Vocal Acoustics for Contemporary Styles!
Dr Ana Flavia Zuim
This course explores the scientific principles underpinning vocal production, acoustics, and the care of the singing voice, drawing from both foundational texts and contemporary research. Students will engage deeply with concepts from Titze’s Principles of Voice Production and Bozeman’s Practical Vocal Acoustics, including the nature of sound, pressure waveforms, harmonics, formants, and the spectral envelope. Emphasis is placed on understanding both linear and non-linear source-filter models, highlighting how the glottis produces sound and how the vocal tract selectively reinforces harmonics to enhance vocal power, timbre, and efficiency.
