Nutrition and Exercise for Singers – The Missing Link in Vocal Health and Longevity

Thursday 16th April 2026, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)

Nutrition and Exercise for Singers – The Missing Link in Vocal Health and Longevity

Discover the essential role that nutrition and exercise play in enhancing vocal health and ensuring a long-lasting singing career in our upcoming seminar, "Nutrition and Exercise for Singers – The Missing Link in Vocal Health and Longevity." This comprehensive session is designed to provide singers with the knowledge and tools necessary to optimize their physical well-being, which directly impacts vocal performance.

During this seminar, participants will learn about the specific nutritional needs of singers, including which foods and supplements can help maintain vocal cord health, boost energy levels, and support overall physical resilience. We will explore how hydration, diet, and meal timing can influence vocal performance and recovery.

In addition to nutrition, the seminar will cover exercise regimes tailored for singers. We will discuss the importance of maintaining physical fitness, focusing on exercises that improve posture, breathing control, and core strength—all crucial for optimal vocal production. Attendees will gain insight into routines that enhance lung capacity, reduce tension, and prevent injuries commonly associated with intense vocal use.

By integrating these strategies, singers will be equipped to sustain their vocal capabilities, extend their careers, and improve their overall health. Join us to unlock the secrets of how nutrition and exercise can be the missing link in achieving vocal excellence and longevity.

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!

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.
