2. VOICE PROJECTION AND PROTECTION: VOCAL SKILLS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL VOICE USER The speaking voice is the primary element in effective communication. The sounds of a language are carried on the vocal tone that arises from the larynx in the neck. The tone producing muscles in the larynx are to varying degrees responsible for vocal pitch, loudness, quality and rate. This workshop is designed to teach the nature and use of these four dynamics to business people who earn their living by using their speech. Each participant will be given training in voice and speech skills, and apply them in a variety of simulated business speaking situations. Voice projection will be taught and practiced. Lastly, voice problems such as hoarseness and vocal fatigue, as well as lifestyle practices such as diet will be discussed to promote the health of the vocal muscles.
3. INTEGRATIVE VOICE THERAPY: VOCAL REHABILITATION FOR THE NEW CENTURY This intermediate level workshop has
been designed for speech therapists and experienced trainers of the
speaking or singing voice and those who require an understanding of
common disorders of the larynx and advanced therapy techniques. The
workshop will provide you with the content to recognize and alter basic
vocal dynamics and vocal healthcare.

Common lifestyle risk factors for developing voice problems will be discussed. We will also discuss speaking behaviors such as shouting and speaking with too low or a too high pitch, which can lead to voice injury and voice loss.
