Course information
Delivered by NHS Fife Speech and Language Therapy Service, this informative and practical workshop aims to increase professional users’ awareness and understanding of effective and efficient voice production to maintain healthy voice and reduce the risk of development of dysphonia (vocal impairment).
What participants have said about a previous version of this course:
- It was very informative; I think it could be useful for all staff that lecture and present regularly.
- For anyone interested in vocal production, this gives some interesting biological insight, and guidance on breathing.
- Very helpful information and practical exercises that can be helpful.
