Vocal Health Workshop      Sunday Sept 26, 1pm    FREE!
"Developing a Healthy Vocal Lifestyle:
What Every Singer Should Know"

presented by:
Lori L. Sonnenberg, MM, MA, CCC-SLP
and W. Nathan Waller, MM, MA, CCC-SLP

Speech-Language (voice) Pathologists
at the Bastian Voice Institute in Downers Grove, IL


Many singers have life circumstances, both professional and personal, that put them at high risk for vocal problems. In this valuable workshop, you will learn how to optimize vocal health, both medically and behaviorally.

Topics:

  • Your  vocal mechanism, and how day-to-day vocal activities affect your voice
  • Common voice problems, and tools and skills to help you detect and prevent voice injuries 
  • Common symptoms of vocal swelling and injury, and simple, effective techniques to employ in their early detection
  • Effective vocal warm-ups

In addition, you will see high definition photographs of healthy and injured vocal cords, and hear audio samples of how a normal voice sounds compared to an
injured voice.

Ms. Sonnenberg combines her passion for treating injured voices with extensive experience as a singer and voice teacher. A lyric-coloratura soprano, she earned a B.M. in Vocal Performance from Centenary College of Louisiana, cum laude, an M.M. in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy from Pennsylvania State University, and an M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. She was a seven-time first-place winner in the Southern Region National Association of Singing (NATS) Competition and a finalist in the Eastern Region NATSAA auditions in March 2000. She also won the Philharmonic Concerto Competition at both Penn State and Centenary College.

Mr. Waller, a bass-baritone, has a B.M. from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, an M.M. in Vocal Performance from Appalachian State University, and an  M.A. in speech-language pathology from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. He has taught choral music in the public schools with superior results, as well as privately. He has performed in both opera and professional choral organizations. His research areas have included acoustic parameters of the adolescent speaking voice and muscular tension in various styles
of singing.
