World Voice Day: An Event for Singers (pdf) WVD

On  Saturday from 10am-1pm at Music Hall, in a space of the Cincinnati Opera (who is co-sponsoring this event) we will be giving talks. In addition we’re offering free brief strobes for several days (see flyer).
 
I do not yet know the full detail, but we will all approach “Connect with your voice” from different angles, and of course cover the rudimentary “how does your voice work? What causes voice disorders? What can you do to avoid this or what to do when this happens?” material.
 
Speakers will include:
Rocco Dal Vera, MFA, head of voice theatre voice in the College Conservatory of Music of the U. of Cincinnati
Dr. Sid Khosla, associate prof of otolaryngology, U of Cincinnati College of Medicine
Dr. Eva van Leer, assistant prof of otolaryngology, u of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
