ADELAIDE, AU, 2009
“Loved it!”
D.M. Speech Pathologist
“It’s supportive, educational, encouraging, UPLIFTING!”
H.B. Speech Pathologist
“It was great to see the techniques used in a clinical situation 1st, before learning specifically about the technique and then having a practise ourselves. This really helped my learning.”
A.P. Speech Pathologist
“It was a very enriching experience. I enjoyed every minute of it. The time flew.”
C.B. Speech Pathologist
“Dynamic, fun, highly motivational, highly informative from its practical application.”
J.B. Speech Pathologist
“It ‘breaks the rules’. I found out a lot of things about voice and voice therapy that contradicted what I was taught or have read in books yet this made more sense.”
R.G. Speech Pathologist
“I learnt a tremendous amount, not only how to use the techniques but how to apply it in clinical situations. Also, how to enable clients to use their own perceptions to discover how to help themselves.”
C.B. Speech Pathologist
“The observation of real clients was invaluable. Made the theory much easier to grasp seeing it used in real life.”

PLYMOUTH, UK, 2008

M.M. Speech & Language Therapist

F.D. Speech & Language Therapist
“Observing patients, reflecting and observing the Voicecraft techniques used with the patients was invaluable.”
T.K. Speech & Language Therapist

M.M. Speech & Language Therapist
“Wonderful, inspiring and a very good variety of activities.”
F.D. Speech & Language Therapist

T.L. Speech Pathologist
“It was great to observe Alison working with patients to see the flow of treatment and how she facilitates the patients.”
A.F. Speech Pathologist
“The practice is evidence based, and definitely beneficial to patients.”
A.F. Speech Pathologist
“It shows therapists how to use the Voicecraft techniques in therapy & the most constructive way to do so.”
K.K. Speech Pathologist
“I feel that I have something to take away and use in the clinic rather than vocal hygiene and behaviour techniques. It was like revealing what voice is really about.”
J.F. Speech Pathologist
“A practical workshop springing from a broad & deep knowledge / research basis.”
J.C. Speech Pathologist
“It was fantastic introduction to Voicecraft. The live demonstrations and 1:1 practice with Alison truly enhanced the learning experience.”
L.W. Speech Pathologist
“I Particularly found having treatment demonstrations prior to explanation of technique very useful. Excellent real life demonstration of treatment techniques.”
T.D. Speech Pathologist
HONG KONG, 2006
“Very new, refreshing & informative.”
S.I. Teacher of Singing
“Voicecraft is an effective method / approach in using our voice healthily. I was really impressed by the patient’s feedback and emotional change after the therapy.”
M.Y. Speech Therapist
“Excellent, speaker has good knowledge of the theory and skills. Opened my eyes on how to treat clients. I have more confidence in working with client.”
N.K. Speech Therapist
“Good. Amazing to see the patients to have immediate changes of voice.”
H.C. Speech Therapist
“Very good. I have more confidence in protecting my voice at work and teaching others. Before, I was quite pessimistic (nothing seems to help except voice rest).”
L.C.M. Speech Therapist
“Alison introduced new concept / belief / fact and skills about facilitating optimum voice production. My impressions – inspiring.”
S.W.L. Speech Therapist
IRELAND, UK, 2006
“I have learned so much in three days – very valuable and practical knowledge with skill I can develop. It wasn’t contrived and I felt secure that I was learning from someone with a wealth of experience whom I could trust.”
G.R. Speech & Language Therapist/Singer
“Very relevant and the theory makes sense and practical hands-on approach gives confidence to put into practice in my own clinical practice. The volunteer patient observation was very powerful. The workshop was well organised and paced.”
S.M. Speech & Language Therapist
“This workshop is based on sound scientific research, has a clear process and has left me with skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to try the techniques with clients. It was great – really worthwhile.”
L.C. Speech & Language Therapist
PANTAI, KL, 2004
“Very informative and useful, especially for young Speech/Language Pathologists with less experience. Superb!"
O.K.P. Speech & Language Pathologist
“Unique and practical. This is the most impressive workshop I have attended.”
T.W.P. Speech & Language Pathologist
“Magnificent, direct, motivating, clear and answer all doubts on voice treatment.”
Y.B.A.R. Speech & Language Pathologist
“It’s so useful and impressive. Moreover it showed proven efficiency. Excellent.”
P.H.S. Speech & Language Pathologist
“The approaches introduced are well explained by valid theories and research – every technique has its own function so that helps me to feel confident when working with a patient. The workshop format was flexible. Alison structured it according to participant’s needs without compromising patient’s needs. Pace was just right. Additional activities/techniques were introduced as needed.”
N.A.B.M.Z. Speech & Language Pathologist
“Excellent in demonstrating Voicecraft techniques on patients and step by step instructions to the patient. Sessions working with patients are excellent and allow participants to take notes on how questions are phrased and how instructions are given to the patient.”
W.S.M. Speech & Language Pathologist
“Huge amount of learning for self and to use in the clinic for others. Well organised. A breath of fresh air to watch Alison work.”
P.J.T. Speech & Language Pathologist
“Excellent. The techniques and the presentation were great. The number of patients were enough for me to observe and the balance of dividing the time for observation and learning the techniques was efficient. I think release of constriction is the easiest, quickest and most efficient way to work with patients compared to traditional approaches.”
L.Y.C. Speech & Language Pathologist
“All Speech & Language Therapists need this workshop because the techniques in our textbooks don’t work. I’m not afraid to see voice patients anymore. I liked the way Alison asked questions and how she brought out the best in people.”
F.A. Speech & Language Pathologist
“It was systematic and we were guided in a step-like structure. A practical way to effective treatment of a patient. It created awareness of how we use our voice, thus provided a greater understanding on how to reverse with manner of voicing. Well organised, interesting and very practical. I appreciated and learned how to treat a patient holistically, not just with voice but also with aspect of emotions and energy.”
C.P. Speech & Language Pathologist
“Clinically orientated. Totally new insight into use of the voice.”
G.T.V.J. ENT Surgeon
“Wonderful. This workshop highlighted the way Voicecraft is being applied clinically. It has been useful and probably the only way to treat “voice” patients. I have applied it for diagnosing patients and on some occasions, it has allowed me to apply it clinically.”
F.H. ENT Surgeon
“Very well organised; time was well-used and well-managed. Good balance of different activities. I really appreciated the opportunities to observe therapy sessions.”
D.L. Speech & Language Pathologist
PERTH, AU, 2003
“Very thought provoking and challenging. I also felt that, as a group, it was a very safe environment to be open and honest for patients and participants.”
K.F. Speech Pathologist
“Absolutely FANTASTIC!! I was riveted for three days and was left wishing for more. Inspirational!! Challenging!!”
T.P. Speech Pathologist
“Loved it. I felt very connected to everything Alison did. The format of observing the application of Voicecraft with real clients was a very powerful learning mode.”
N.H. Speech Pathologist
GREECE, 2003
“Excellent timing and very patient with participants when practicing. Excellent organisation and presentation.”
E.L. Speech & Language Therapist
NEWCASTLE, AU, 2003
“Excellent. It was a shame it was only three days. A good sized group too. With practice, this will help me and my caseload.
A revelation! Makes a lot of sense especially compared with traditional abstract explanations. Very well run – balanced with both practical and theoretical aspects. I wish all workshops were so productive.”
A.T. Speech Pathologist
“Awesome experience. It was amazing to see the master (Alison) bringing/creating changes to the clients’ voice within a one hour session.”
M.S.Y.O. Speech Pathology Student
“Super – very balanced. So totally practical and technical whilst being connected to the soul. Life changing – for therapy and personally.”
C.M. Speech Pathologist

MACCLESFIELD, UK, 2001
“Being able to observe the techniques being used with actual clients was invaluable.”
M.A. Speech & Language Therapist

This is the only workshop that has a proven scientific basis to it that gives us intimate understanding and knowledge of vocal disordered patients and how to work optimally with them."
A.C. Speech & Language Therapist
GLASGOW, 2001
“Format was excellent – so useful to see "Voicecraft" actually being used with patients. Feedback sessions after also very useful. New theories ("Voicecraft") appear to make much more logical sense. Am now desperate to do the 6 day course!”
J.L. Speech/Language Therapist
PLYMOUTH, UK, 2001
“Format – good, loads of detail. Pace – racy! Excellent balance. Excellent to see you work with patients, how you interact, provide just the right amount of information to the client and how you adapt to suit the client, explain in easily understood language.”
D.R. Speech/Language Therapist
TOWNSVILLE, AU, 2001
