K.M. Speech Pathologist

SCOTLAND, 2005

"My previous practice was often lacking in evidence base and could be ineffective - this will turn my practice around! Excellent."

D.P. Speech/Language Therapist

"Very well organised. Excellent presentation. Confident in presenter and her obvious experience/knowledge in this area. I'd like the other three days please!"

S.A. Speech/Language Therapist

"Inspirational. So rarely does one see it all in action!"

A.L.J. Speech/Language Therapist

"I wished for a tried and true approach to hoarseness and I have received much more than that from this workshop. Inspiring."

S. B. Speech/Language Therapist

"As a newly qualified therapist this workshop has given me a fantastic start to my voice 'toolbox'. Having previously focussed on the removal of negative practices, irritants etc. I feel much more equipped to provide my patients with a 'can do' approach to their voice problems."

S.D. Speech/Language Therapist

"The three days have been inspirational and very moving at times. An excellent, evidence based intervention."

S.H. Speech/Language Therapist

"The connection between anatomy and technique is more logical - excellent, precise descriptions and demonstrations. Excellent organisation, presentation and more than 100% enthusiasm and commitment from Alison. I am inspired to continue in my learning and assimilation of Voicecraft."

F.G. Speech/Language Therapist

"My understanding has changed completely - far greater understanding and in a practical way. Being able to see 'live' therapy was such a privilege. It was a well-paced and extremely professional workshop."

G.W. Speech/Language Therapist

LONDON, UK, 2005

"Good overview of the whole concept of "Voicecraft". Good balance of theory together with practical and opportunity to ask questions. Well planned and organised."

F.S.B. Speech/Language Therapist

"I enjoyed the therapist/client sessions - it was very valuable. I enjoyed the workshop, found it a positive and helpful experience, very relevant and it made me consider my voice and my voice in relation to my job."

K.T. Speech/Language Therapist

"Very useful. The techniques were described and demonstrated at a suitable rate and repeated often enough to be taken on board. The manual will be useful. The workshop was flexible to be tailored to participant's needs whilst still sticking to the course outline."

K.M. Speech/Language Therapist

"Alison actually listened to and helped each and every one of us. Thank you."

B.H. Speech/Language Therapist

HONG KONG, 2005

"Very well organised, professionally presented, good pace. It gave me a firmer understanding of the vocal mechanism, its disorders, and the underlying rationale for therapy techniques. I didn't have this with my existing therapy strategies."

M.S. Speech Therapist

"Very interesting and inspiring".

M.W.F. Speech Therapist

"This workshop has shown me that voice treatment isn't only vocal hygiene, but how to control different parts of the vocal tract."

WCY Speech Therapist

ADELAIDE, AU, 2004

"Fun, challenging & valuable learning experience. Everyone should know about laryngeal constriction and releasing it."

D.M. Air Traffic Controller

"Excellent. The care and sensitivity you gave to us to help us learn in a sometimes scary environment was much appreciated. It provided real support for developing and maintaining voice, based on thorough knowledge and research."

F.S. Civil Celebrant

"Interesting, informative and useful. I became much more aware of voice and realised that it is not normal for the voice to feel sore/fatigued after lots of use."

Y.B. Speech Pathologist

"A number of preconceptions shattered! I now have understanding of what I/others are doing, and a basic understanding of what to do when I want something changed. I want more!"

D.V.S. Radio Producer

"Heartening to see the progress of all members of the group and the confidence/joy/satisfaction gained. Any communicator would benefit from this workshop if only for release of laryngeal constriction techniques. Just the appreciation for the voice instrument is invaluable and everyone deserves to learn about it."

P.H. Lawyer

"Very thorough, comprehensive and often challenging. Terrific information, presentation and format."

Y.F. Lecturer

"Well organised and structured. It helps you to understand variety and vocal colour in your voice. It also gives helpful techniques for voice problems."

WF. Student Speech Pathologist

"Enjoyable, intriguing and I hope to implement techniques learnt. This workshop helps anyone with a desire to learn more about voice and its application."

B.M. Lawyer

"Very enjoyable. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who wants more clarity in their voice. I feel I can use the techniques learnt to speak more clearly and make my voice more interesting to listeners."

M.B. Administrator

KUALA LUMPUR, 2002

"I understand how I produce my voice and how to change my voice with an awareness of what I'm doing exactly (or near exactly). In addition, voice depends on other factors such as emotional well being etc. Challenging, impressive and wonderful."

L.B. Speech/Language Pathologist

"As an ENT Surgeon I need to explain to my patients what they are doing wrong that gives the voice problem and thus, I need to understand what is happening and how the voice and larynx function. My perception of voice production is better and I am practically able to differentiate the different movements and components of the organ. Very practical and relevant to my practice."

F.H. ENT Surgeon

"The experiential component helped me to remember the techniques. Alison is very gifted in teaching - I have learnt much from her style. I would certainly recommend it to other professionals and persons interested in voice."

T.R. Speech/Language Pathologist
