Description

Using singing subjects, Dr. Hill will demonstrate typical age-related problems faced by singers and propose therapies for remediation and rehabilitation of vocal function. Designed for the aging avocational singer, he will deal with six specific vocal challenges faced by aging voices namely, onset of phonation, vocal power, intonation, vibrato, breath support and vowel production. In addressing these challenges, he proposes several suggestions including semi-occluded vocal tract exercises, core building, vocal routine, and general diet and hydration.

 

Dr. Stan Hill is a member of NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) and was on the voice faculty of California State University, Fullerton for four years. He is published in the 1986 edition of the NATS Journal. As a Choral Artistic Director, he brings a unique perspective on vocal pedagogy to his chorus rehearsals and assists singers with vocal problems.
