Training the Passaggi of Classical Genre Voices
Thursday 29th June 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This class will be focused on practical pedagogic strategies for training voices in smooth negotiation of range.
Special attention will be given to those transitions, both laryngeal and acoustic, that challenge efficient function.
While we will be primarily attending to the aesthetic targets of the classical genre, the strategies included are relatively genre neutral and can be adapted to any styles seeking a smooth, even traversing of the range.
Basic elements of acoustic vocal pedagogy will be referenced, but previous exposure to the principles of acoustic pedagogy as routinely presented by Bozeman will be assumed.

The Science Underlying Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises (SOVT)
Dr Ingo Titze

Semi-occluded vocal tract exercises have a long history. Humans and animals have discovered that aerodynamic and acoustic pressures above the larynx can position the vocal folds for better self-sustained oscillation. Join Dr Ingo Titze and Karin Titze Cox as they unpick this fascinating topic!

The Cannabis Question: What Voice Practitioners Need to Know!
Dr Dann Mitton
As cannabis use has become more common, socially accepted, and legalized, voice professionals are increasingly fielding questions about its effects. This two-hour session with Dr Dann Mitton offers a clear, research-informed overview of what we currently know about cannabis and the singing voice. The session is built around real-world questions voice teachers and singers are asking: Does smoking cannabis dry out the vocal folds? Is vaping safer than smoking? What should I know if my student uses cannabis for anxiety or pain? Could some voice types be more at risk than others?
