SOVT Exercises: What, How, When, and Why?
Thursday 4th April 2024, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (London Time)
SOVTs (Semi-occluded vocal tract postures or exercises) have become widely used by singing teachers and voice therapists.
Professor Nix's presentation will begin by defining and describing the various kinds of SOVTs, sharing a classification system he has developed.
Following this, he will discuss how to use vowels during SOVTs, including which vowels to use with specific SOVTS and in specific situations.
Finally, using practical examples, he will discuss which SOVT to use given a particular technical issue.

'Mal canto' and the cultural politics of voice pedagogy: provocations from a critical disability studies (CDS) perspective
David Cane
In this short course, I apply the insights of critical disability studies (CDS) to voice pedagogy and the academic discipline of voice studies, more broadly. I suggest that disability is highly relevant to our field in significant (and potentially surprising) ways!

Pedagogic Misconceptions and Their Correction
Ken Bozeman
Things are not always as they seem. Many fairly prevalent conceptions of vocal function and resultant studio directives are either inaccurate in part or in whole, misleading, and therefore in need of correction or at least significant qualification.
