In our new online course, taught by world-renowned voice teachers and speech-language pathologists Emily Kristen Morris, Maurice Goodwin, and Gabi Leibowitz, we teach you both the why and the how of vocal health — blending science, practical tools, and real-world application. This is a singer and voice user’s essential survival guide to vocal health!
 
Here’s what’s inside the course:
 
1. Introduction video (1 module)
A quick introduction from Emily Kristen Morris!
​
2. The Anatomy and Physiology of the Voice (1 module)
The basics that every singer and voice user should understand about their vocal anatomy and physiology. 
​​
3. Vocal Health Fundamentals – Part 1 (8 modules) 
In Part 1, we begin by exploring what it means to be a vocal athlete. From there, we get into the nitty gritty of some key vocal health basics: hydration, environmental variables, acid reflux, medications and their effect on the voice, oral vocal remedies, whispering, and vocal fry. 
​
4. Vocal Health Fundamentals – Part 2 (4 modules) 
In Part 2, we explore the concept and practice of vocal budgeting, how to make the call surrounding when/how to sing through sickness, what every singer should know about vocal injuries, and how to assemble a voice care team. 
 
5. Practical Application (4 modules) 
This section is all about learning practical tools you can use in your everyday life: how to do laryngeal massage on yourself, how to do straw phonation and other SOVTs, how to build a resonant speaking voice, and how to build an efficient vocal warm-up and cool-down. 
 
6. A Conversation with the Experts (bonus!) 
This is a casual, uncut, honest discussion where Emily, Maurice, and Gabi answer common questions straight from singers, teachers, and our EKM community!
