Is your voice gone by the end of term?
How is your Voice Going?
How about having to project your voice multiple times a day?
Or maybe, by the time 3pm comes around you find your voice is a bit scratchy?
As a teacher, you’re in a profession where you use your voice all day everyday – you are a professional voice user. Welcome to the club!
However, with that prestigious new title comes a whole lot of responsibility.
Your vocal health and production is a workplace issue that needs to be taken care of. Did you know, teachers are one of the highest professions to have damage occur to their vocal folds? This can lead to a hoarse voice, inability to project your voice, or even complete vocal loss! At any given time, as many as 11% of teachers may in fact have a voice disorder (Roy, Merrill, Thibeautl, Gray & Smith, 2004).
But, we want to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Our Voice Science Voice Workshops for Teachers and Schools will highlight all you need to know about your voice muscle and how to care for and use it effectively so that you’re able to talk longer, louder and have more impact when teaching your class.
Our team members are voice clinicians with special interest in voice treatment and assessment.
