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.

(R)evolutionary Voice Training: harnessing human instinct to accelerate vocal transformation!

Join Maddie Tarbox for this two hour session as she unpicks the repertoire of instinctive shortcuts that can lower cognitive load and accelerate vocal change!

Low Male Voices (LMVs): Development, Technique, and Repertoire
Dr Dann Mitton
Join Dr Dann Mitton for this two hour workshop where he explores the Development, Techniques, and Repertoire favoured for Low Male Voices (LMVs). Typically labelled as 'Bass' and 'Baritone', these classifications are used in classical music, choral settings, and vocal pedagogy to help determine suitable repertoire and vocal roles. In contemporary music, the distinctions are less rigid but still useful for understanding vocal range and timbre.
