Trauma-Informed Voice Practices: What Does It Mean In Practice?
Thursday 9th March 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
In this course, participants will learn the theory and particularly the practice of being “trauma-informed”.
The participant will become aware of the incidence and impact of trauma and how trauma can manifest physiologically, behaviorally, and vocally in different types of settings and situations.
Importantly, we will explore the perspective of the voice practitioner when signs of trauma show up and practical skills and tools that can help the practitioner navigate the space and dynamic comfortably and always within scope of practice.

Emerging and Developing Voice: Singing and Speech
Karen Brunssen
How does the singing voice influence the speaking voice? How does the speaking voice influence the singing voice? When is there a disparate relationship between the two? Can they help each other? Can one harm the other? How can we use them positively in the voice studio. During this short course we will consider the voice as we sing and as we speak. The acquisition of language is a very interesting journey from birth through old age. We will broach the topics of “lexical” which refers to learning words, and “semantic” which is how we use words in the context of language.
