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.

Vocal Effort and Fatigue: What are the Research Insights for Voice Clinicians?
Eric J. Hunter
Elevated vocal effort is one of the most common symptoms reported by patients in the voice clinic, yet its measurement and management remain inconsistent. Vocal effort and vocal fatigue are closely linked, but their interplay remains poorly understood. This research-based presentation will examine how vocal effort relates to voice production and vocal demands, offering empirical insights into its role in perceived vocal fatigue. It will also cover definitions, measurement protocols, and strategies for reducing variability in assessment. Additionally, current research methodologies aimed at improving clinical assessment tools will be discussed to support more reliable and valid measurement of vocal effort and fatigue.
