Voice Therapy Workbook Publication in Print!
Title: Exercises for Voice Therapy (Plural Publishing)
Editors: Alison Behrman and John Haskell
http://www.pluralpublishing.com/
All the therapists in this publication have been asked to contribute their "favorite exercises" in explicit detail. This way the user will be able to replicate the exercises and understand why they are useful. It also gives us therapists a chance to thank our mentors who have enlightened us along the way.
Scientific Study for Singers (in progress) PARTICIPANTS NEEDED!!!!!
I have designed a research study with the help of my colleague and friend Alison Behrman PhD from New York about singing voice problems. We have developed a self-perceptual survey asking singers to list all of their voice problems. It is an anonymous study and if you would like to participate you can click on the icon and send back the completed form via email. We would greatly appreciate your help!
