Experts to Discuss Voice Care

By Karen Guin

Local physicians, speech pathologists, singing and acting teachers, and former patients will discuss good voice habits and the treatment of voice problems during a presentation hosted by the University of Central Florida on Wednesday, April 13, at Rollins College.

"World Voice Day: Panel Discussions and Performances" will take place at 6 p.m. in the Tiedtke Concert Hall of the Keene Music Hall on the Rollins' campus in Winter Park. The event is free and open to the public.

The event also will include classical, musical theater, pop and rock vocal performances.

"The core of so much that we love - singing, laughing and talking with our friends and family - lies in our voice," said Bari Hoffman Ruddy, associate professor of  communication sciences and disorders at UCF and coordinator of the event. "World Voice Day is an annual event that helps promote vocal health and prevent common voice disorders among community members."

For further information, contact Bari.HoffmanRuddy@ucf.edu.
