VOCAL HEALTH SYMPOSIUM PROGRAM REGISTRATION ACCOMODATIONS
CALL FOR PAPERS CONTACT STEERING COMMITTEE VENDORS
April 25-26, 2013
(more information to come)
This symposium will provide a forum to discuss the need for professional training programs in performance voice health.
For more than a decade, the discussion on the scope of practice regarding vocal health for the performer has waxed and waned, including the commonly used term Singing Voice Specialist (in the context of the vocal health clinic). During this time, surveys for the demand have been conducted, papers have been written, and proposals for training have been made. Nevertheless, the definition of the roles of performance voice health training and care is still very murky and includes several groups of stakeholders, including MDs, SLPs, Voice Coaches, and Performers. Additionally, these stakeholders all are represented by a variety of associations without one primary network.
To help address these issues and to provide a venue dedicated solely to the discussion of them, the National Center for Voice and Speech is excited to host the "Proposed Specialty Training in Vocal Health: Why, Who, What & How Symposium". We have assembled a group of well-known professionals from across the stakeholders to act as the steering committee, so that all sides are represented in the design of the Symposium. The format of this event will include: multiple open sessions developed from abstracts (submit your own and have your voice heard), correlations from other fields and talks on current training practices, with additional break-out sessions to help determine common ground and goals. This forum will also play host to multiple structured talks as well as round tables from all stakeholders.
