In this course, participants will learn about the definition and importance of the term “trauma-informed”.

We will discuss mental health and trauma-related factors in professional singers.

We will also learn about the incidence and impact of trauma and explore ways for voice professionals and voice users to embody a trauma-informed approach feeling comfortable in their own role and scope.

Dr. Elisa Monti has a PhD in Cognitive, Social, and Developmental Psychology from The New School for Social Research. Her concentration is the relationship between psychological trauma and voice. Her mission is to contribute to further our understanding of this relationship.

Unpacking the Mind-Voice Connection in Occupational Voice Users!

Dr Cantor Cutiva

Join Dr. Cantor-Cutiva as she explores the Mind-Voice Connection, a holistic framework that considers how psychological traits, stress levels, and sleep quality interact with vocal health, particularly in occupational voice users. Through a multidisciplinary lens, we will examine how personality dimensions such as extraversion, neuroticism, and conscientiousness influence not only vocal behaviour but also the perception and reporting of vocal fatigue.
