Through this continuing education opportunity, participants will explore a variety of strategies for daily vocal care as well as the research to best support vocal health. Participants will leave with simple exercises to help warm them up for sessions, cool them down, regain vocal strength and stamina, and even tools to use when there is no voice to be had, but the session must go on!
