  Maria Maxfield: Touch in the Voice Studio

  Oct 2, 202659 min

  #VocalFam this is one we all need to hear. Dr. Maria Maxfield (CU Alum - Sko Buffs!) shares her research investigating touch in the voice studio. She surveyed over one hundred singers about their experiences with touch by their teacher. Topics included consent, non-consent, efficacy, and a whole bunch of ethics. Maria previously published an article in Journal of Singing titled " Physical Touch in the Voice Studio: A Closer Look ." We highly recommend reading that as well as her forthcoming article that was discussed today. As a vocal community we need to continue to do better.

  AI and the Voice Practitioner

  Apr 17, 202658 min

  This week VocalFri was joined by regular guests Kayla Gautereaux, Ian Howell, and Theodora Nestorova for a discussion of the current state of AI models and the voice practitioner. Even over the past year AI models have progressed in many ways that are making it more inevitable that you will likely somehow interact with them. We share some insights into how we are using the models, the ethical use of the models, impacts on society, and other topics. We also share a bit about the new Journal of Singing AI policy , co-authored by Howell and Nestorova.
