1400 Voice Care : Caring for the Professional Voice Lecture cum workshop Objective : Participants will learn proper voicing techniques, practicing good vocal hygiene and taking care of your general health. By the end of the session, the participant will know how to optimise vocal health and reduce risks of developing voice disorders. This session is designed to train professional voice users how to take care of their vocal mechanism. Good vocal hygiene and resonant voice quality will allow professionals with highly demanding vocal usage to optimize vocal health and reduce risks of developing voice disorders. Despite our best efforts, we sometimes injure our voice. This can often be a frightening experience because the voice is our main mode of communication. Furthermore, there are many voice professionals in the community that make a living from using their voices. Despair and helplessness may set in, often not knowing where to turn to for help. 1530 1545 1700 Tea Voice Care - continue End Speech Therapist
