Leaning Into Discomfort: Supporting Regulation and Resilience in Voice Care
Dr Carol Krusemark
Working with the singing body and nervous system, whether in teaching, coaching, therapy, or performance, often means navigating moments of stress, vulnerability, and uncertainty. In these moments, both teachers and clients can find themselves operating from a heightened autonomic stress response that affects communication, learning, and vocal function. Join Dr Carol Krusemark as she explores how an understanding of the autonomic nervous system can inform more effective and compassionate voice work!
