Voice is FREE After SOVT

The principle of phonation with a semi-closed vocal tract has been used in the world of voice for centuries: for regeneration, voice training and voice care. There are various exercises and tools that are used to create and utilize the effects of the semi-closed vocal tract, for example lip flutter, raspberry, voiced consonants like v and z, straw phonation, LAX VOX®, acapella, cup phonation and many more.

Prof. Ingo Titze is one of the most important researchers in the world when it comes to studying the effects of SOVT. He has published over 500 articles about voice studies he has made. His work and knowledge, that he shared in six books, is the foundation on which we vocal coaches and voice therapists work.

Karin Titze Cox, Ingo Titzes daughter, is also a renown voice expert and works as a Speech and Language Therapist with people on their voice goals, and is active in research and teaching.

Together, they published the book “The Voice is Free after SOVT” in 2023, in which they collected all their results, and those of many colleagues, and used them to explain how SOVT works and how we can use these effects. This is a must-read and will become a standard literature for all voice experts.

Ingo Titze and Karin Titze Cox will now talk live in a 90 minutes lecture about the principles and effects of SOVT and how they can be used in voice training and therapy.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to experience and learn from Ingo Titze and Karin Titze Cox.

This is how Karin Titze Cox and Ingo Titze describe their lecture:

This lecture will introduce the first book dedicated to Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract methods:  Voice is FREE after SOVT.

The information presented from the book is inclusive with scientific explanation and application for singer, teacher and therapist alike. The presentation will review the evolution of these methods and is based on a great deal of current peer reviewed literature in the area of voice. We will introduce visual examples, diagrams, tables and video links for reference.

This should appeal to the scientist at heart searching for why their methods in vocal performance or as successful teachers, coaches or voice therapists work.

Singers, teachers, coaches, ENTs, speech pathologists, research scientists and vocologists will be introduced to the comprehensive work, the history and current work being developed to help their clientele and patients even further. This can help trainers, performers and healers as it is heavily referenced with the development of voice science principles.

These principles relate to all methods that use semi-occluded vocal tract exercises including the popular method of Straw Phonation popularized and developed extensively by both authors. A framework for evaluation and training will be introduced to incorporate principles into their own style of teaching and training and translate difficult scientific principles to others.

During this lecture, you will learn

• How and why does the Principle of SOVT work?
• Which effects does it have?
• How can can use use these effects to aim your vocal goals in singing, speaking and voice-rehabilitation?
