ONE WEEK LEFT TO REGISTER!

Hello! My name is Brittani and I’m a voice-specialized speech pathologist.

I’m thrilled to be offering my speaking voice and vocal health intensive workshop again next weekend, which serves to provide participants with hands-on, functional tools to become more efficient in their speaking voices (or help others do so), in addition to up-to-date vocal health information.

Many structural voice pathologies like nodules and polyps come from inefficient habits in the speaking voice, but it is rarely focused on as a preventative measure. Professional voice users and singing voice students can greatly impact their vocal health outcomes by becoming aware and efficient in their speaking voice BEFORE problems happen.

We will work together as a group to learn about techniques such as flow phonation, resonant voice therapy, tongue coordination strategies, and linking speech (reducing glottals and vocal fry), in addition to the use of many different semi-occluded exercises.

Vocal health topics will include:
✔️Hydration
✔️ Reflux
✔️Allergies
✔️Coughing and throat clearing (and how to actually stop!)
✔️Stress and sleep

This workshop is tailored for:
⭐️ Professional performers, teachers, singing students, or other voice users who want to optimize their speaking voice
⭐️ Those already experiencing issues with their voice who want more resources
⭐️Teachers or voice professionals looking to expand their medical voice knowledge
⭐️ SLPs looking to specialize in voice

Can’t attend live? No problem! The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants will receive access to the replay. The registration fee is the same for both live attendance and recording access.

Please note that live participants are required to attend with video on, as this is an interactive workshop.

This workshop is available for professional development hours/CEUs.

This one’s been a long time work in progress!
The Hidden Cause of Your Chronic Coughing and Throat Clearing, and How to Fix It:
Neurolaryngeal Hypersensitivity (NLH)
Do you have a continuous, irresistible urge to cough or clear your throat, even when you’re not sick? Or, do you have odd sensations and even pain in your throat with no obvious cause? Maybe you’ve been told your lungs are clear, your reflux is under control, and your allergies aren’t severe enough to explain your symptoms, yet the symptoms continue.
One possible explanation is a condition called “neurolaryngeal hypersensitivity” (NLH). Thank you to .leanne for her pioneering in this area.

Lozenges, throat sprays, and syrups won’t actually do anything for your voice in the long run. When you have a viral infection, often times there’s no way to rush recovery. But, by managing:
- Mucus
- Nasal congestion
- Coughing and throat clearing
- Use of SOVTEs
You might not only speed up recovery, but you can recondition faster.

New blog post! Have you ever wondered exactly how semi occluded exercises work? Or, have you maybe been given these exercises in therapy, or give them to your students and they’re not working for you? This post explains why!

Give it a read and let us know what you think.
