Summary
Gillyanne and
Jeremy's new book has arrived four weeks early! The first copy of
Successful Singing Auditions rolled off the press and into our
letterbox a few days ago. Release was set for the end of March, so
we are delighted that A&C Black have managed to produce the book so
fast. And the good news doesn't stop there. We have just heard that
Gillyannes American publishers, Routledge, have published the book
in the US and in Canada. You can order copies from Vocal Process
Ltd, or buy a copy on the net or in good bookshops.
It has been an
extremely busy six months for us. Our first distance learning
product appeared at the end of January – the Basic Vocal Functioning
CD. Following requests from the British Association of
Barbershoppers, we set about creating a distance-learning
information CD, aimed at anyone interested in improving and
maintaining their voice. We have given permission to BABS to include
one track – the siren – in their own distance-learning CDRom for
Chorus Directors. We are due to start work on the second CD in May.
As part of our
preparation for the Voice Styles Intensive course for the Voice and
Laryngectomy Special Interest Group in Northern Ireland in January,
we visited Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham to record some
endoscopic views of different vocal gestures. We now have some
excellent stroboscopic views of vocal fold plane change, retraction,
breathy speech versus speech, and vocal fold fry to present on our
courses.
Gillyanne has been
invited by Central School of Speech and Drama to create a module for
the MAVS course and alumni. This tailored Voice Styles Intensive
will take place in May. And last month Gillyanne visited the LIPA
(Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts or The Paul McCartney Fame
School) as consultant for the BA Acting course.
