Elevating Your Authentic Voice: Practical Audio & Video Setup for Voice Professionals!
Thursday 7th August 2025, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM (London Time)
This practical session is designed for voice professionals such as singers, coaches, voiceover artists, educators, and content creators who want to capture and share their voice with greater clarity, confidence, and creative control.
Whether you are creating teaching content, audition materials, performance videos, or building your online presence, this session will guide you through accessible techniques to improve the quality of your audio and video using tools you likely already own.
You will explore the link between technical setup and professional identity, learn how to create a more polished but authentic sound and image, and consider approaches to make your workflow more efficient and sustainable.
Through a mix of guidance, demonstration, and optional discussion, you will gain clarity on where to focus your efforts, whether that is lighting, mic technique, video framing, or tools to help reduce editing overwhelm.
This session is ideal for those looking to elevate their output in a manageable and human way, while preserving the essence of the voice that defines their work.

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.
