What's in store for you?
What are the most common problems when working on extension of voice qualities such as chest and head voice beyond their range and what practical strategies to solve them does Estill Voice Training offer? Anne-Marie Speed, a sought-after vocal coach and lecturer at the Royal Academy of Music in London, who works on great musical and film productions on a daily basis, will answer these questions.
Who are Polish spoken voice teachers and how do they work? Magdalena Ostolska, PhD, a lecturer, actress, voice emission teacher, whose hobby is voice emission in speech, will talk about the results of her research on the status and level of voice emission teaching at universities (in Polish).
Dr. Gláucia Laís Salomão will present some of the latest insights from voice science and neuroscience that relate to the vocal communication of emotions during stage performance. She is a voice researcher at Stockholm University's Brain Imaging Center, so we can expect an "emotional" presentation!
Prof. Robert Sataloff is the world's most famous phoniatrician-surgeon providing voice care to professionals (including celebrities), as well as a singer and an active scientist! What voice problems does he most often diagnose in his office? Let's find out together.
During the lecture on the Soul Ingredients® approach, we will explore the voice and expression of the soul from the inside, and Dr. Trineice Robinson-Martin - a sought-after specialist in black-American styles - will be our guide.
Do you work with teenage singers? If so, you will certainly be interested in the lecture by Dr. Jenevora Williams - an expert on vocal development in children and adolescents. What to pay attention to, what to avoid, and what to be unnecessarily afraid of - here you will find answers to all the bothersome questions.
When is the right moment to let the student fly out from under the teacher's wings? Will they manage? What tools do they need to make it through the vocal world on their own? The relationship between the teacher and the students will be discussed by a singing pedagogue, laryngeal manual therapist and neuro speech therapist - Maja Wojnarowicz (in Polish).
The tongue and pharyngeal sphincters are often blamed for causing tension. But is this really the case? Or are these structures unsung heroes of amplifying sound? - Kerrie Obert, a respected speech therapist and singing teacher, will talk about groundbreaking research on these structures.
Dr. Chadley Ballantyne, an expert in acoustics, will highlight how multi-sensory perception of different frequencies affects the understanding of the style, function and quality of sung sound. We will also find out how this knowledge can improve the skills of a vocal teacher.
There has never been such a lecture before! A singer, physiotherapist and nutrition specialist will teach us what physical exercises are suitable for vocalists and how to do them so as not to cause harm, but to help. Should we be afraid of sit-ups? - let's find out during the Duncan Rock`s presentation.
Prof. Lynn Helding, the legendary American voice teacher and previous editor-in-chief of the Journal of Singing, will trace the evolution of research-based voice pedagogy from its inception to the present day. What have we left behind? What is the current state of this field? What challenges will the future bring?
The latest research in the field of voice disorders will be presented by Prof. Agata Szkiełkowska, Dr. Beata Miaśkiewicz and Dr. Paulina Krasnodębska - well-known and respected figures in the Polish medical and vocal community (in Polish).
That's not all!
During the live part in Gliwice more issues await:
The Accents Method is one of the most popular and well-researched methods of rehabilitation of voice disorders. Dr. Ronald Morris is a vocalist, speech therapist and audiologist dealing with this method scientifically. He will guide us through its theoretical background and practical application in vocal pedagogy.
If you want to meet a one-woman-band who develops the vocal potential of hundreds of artists and bands on a daily basis - be sure to join us in Gliwice! No matter where you are in your career, Juliet Russell will make you feel the wind in your sails as you reach the heights of your vocal and pedagogical abilities.
You can never talk enough about the relationship between the body and the voice! Aldona Chróściewicz, a physician and certified practitioner of the Feldenkrais method, will invite us to immerse ourselves in self-experiencing during live group workshops "Awareness through movement". This experience can become a powerful tool to support our vocal development (in Polish).
Let's take a break from singing for a while and challenge our brains. Exercises based on body percussion will allow you to work on focus, memory, coordination, rhythmic precision and orientation in musical form. The neurorhythmics workshop will be conducted by Dr. Grażyna Dzwonowska (in Polish).
Be among the best-informed singers, voice teachers and voice specialists in Poland and worldwide. Join our event!
This year, we are particularly proud to start scientific cooperation with the Polish leaders in professional voice care - a group of doctors and scientists from the MEDINCUS Voice Center for Professionals in Warsaw. Thank you!
