Linear and Non-linear Mechanisms of Human Sound Production
Friday 26th May 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This course will review the basics of self-sustained vocal fold vibration, excitation of the vocal tract, wave propagation and resonance.
We will explain concepts of non-linearity and clarify which aspects of the system are non-linear.
You will leave with a firmer understanding of the sound production process.

This 2-part course with Louisa Morgan looks at the potential impact of acted emotion on vocal health, why we should consider it as voice practitioners, and how to care for our performers needing to work with it.

Sex differences in VOICE!
Dr Richard Lissemore
This two-hour workshop, led by performer, articulatory phoneticist, and voice physiologist, Dr. Richard Lissemore, will examine in detail the role that biological sex plays in the perception and pedagogy of singing voices. We'll consider how parameters such as anatomy, physiology, articulation, resonance, and radiated acoustics influence the perceptions and pedagogical decision-making of singing teachers.
