Voice-Movement Skills And The Dimension Of PLAY!
Thursday 2nd February 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This workshop explores the voice-movement relationship in breath management, the vocal tract, voice qualities, pitch range, articulation and phrasing (singing and speaking), and extended voice use.
Then participants are invited to “physicalize” a spoken or sung text—playfully allowing the body to lead—before doing a bit of the text in performance mode.
Questions, requests and comments are welcome, and muting is not required!
Please dress comfortably and have floor space available for movement and exercise.

Water Resistance Therapy and Semioccluded Devices for Voice Training

Dr Marco Guzmán
Several voice devices to perform water resistance therapy (WRT) and some oscillatory positive expiratory pressure devices (OPEP) (e.g. Acapella Choice, Shaker Medic Plus, New Shaker) are now commonly used for both voice training and voice therapy. Are these devices truly good for voice training? Are these devices the treatment by themselves? and how much evidence currently supports the use of these devices?
