WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

  • The focus of your workshop should be on a real-time demonstration of your techniques using the audience members, singers, actors, or patients provided. This is not a lecture format. Voice professionals are invited to submit a proposal for a workshop to be considered for presentation at The Voice Foundation’s Annual Symposium. The focus of the workshop should be on the “live” demonstration of your techniques with singers, actors, patients, or audience members. The workshop duration is 50 minutes, and we request that you plan for the majority of the session to be spent in hands-on interaction with the participants. If the abstract submission does not explain how the majority of the time will be hands on, then it will likely not be under consideration.
  • Workshop presenters are limited to presenting two years in a row, after which they must sit out one year.
  • A piano and accompanist will be provided for all singing voice teachers; other presenters may request a keyboard. The workshop should be presented without the use of audiovisual aids such as overhead projectors, slide projectors, or videotapes.
  • All workshop presenters are encouraged to attend the entire Symposium at the
    Westin Philadelphia Hotel (99 South 17th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).
  • Unfortunately, we are unable to offer any remuneration or reimbursement for lodging or transportation.
