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.

Sex Hormones and Voice: From Puberty to Gender-Affirming Therapy
Dr Silvia Ciancia
How do sex hormones define the human voice? Join Dr Silvia Cianca as she offers a comprehensive exploration of the vocal apparatus as a hormone-sensitive organ, analysing the physiological changes occurring at puberty as well as the changes induced by gender-affirming hormones initiated during adolescence. This session is specifically about the fascinating research on the influence of sex hormones on the voice, and the physical outcomes of gender-affirming care delivered to adolescents; it does not focus on vocal training itself.

Redefining Ethical Practice in Voice Teaching!
Dr Justin John Moniz
Join Dr Justin John Moniz as he examines ethical practice in voice teaching through a structured, evidence-informed framework for sustainable, student-centered pedagogy. Although voice teaching operates outside formal licensure models common to allied professions, teachers hold significant responsibility for students’ vocal function, artistic development, and long-term well-being. This course addresses that gap through a five-part paradigm grounded in the NATS Code of Ethics, contemporary research, and applied studio practice.
