I went to a day's workshop called Fair Exchange held by the British Voice Association a couple of weeks ago. Lyn Darnley of the RSC and Christina Shewell were among the guest speakers. I have just bought Christina's new book 'Voice Work : The Art and Science of Changing Voices' which will give me many happy hours. It is such a 'complete works'. By the time we all did our MA's in voice at Central School of Speech and Drama the speech therapy department was a thing of the past. Happily for us many of their skills were passed onto the MAVoice. This helped to make it a qualification of great value, as scientific as it is artistic (or certainly was in David Carey's day). Christina is both a speech therapist and a voice teacher and has splendidly brought both together into her writing.
It was very refreshing to meet great new people, Milly, David et al and be reminded of just how much there is yet to learn.
