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.
Dr Elisa Monti

Thinking Outside the Voice Box: Adolescent Female Voice Change
Dr Bridget Sweet
Join Dr Bridget Sweet for this 2 hour session as she unpacks this fascinating topic. The purpose of this course is to bring attention to adolescents who experience an estrogen-dominant voice change and to encourage new and holistic ways of thinking about [assigned at birth] female voices. While considering physical changes during adolescence, we will unpack basic vocal anatomy and physiology and then discuss what happens to the vocal mechanism during voice change for females vs. [assigned at birth] males.
