Vocal Health: Myths Busted! - with Michael Mandalios

Originally trained in theatre with a musical theatre background, AAVA member Michael Mandalios works as an actor and voice artist, but spends a lot of his time teaching voice and working in the world of voice care. Join him for this webinar on taking care of your voice, while tackling some of the old-school myths about what is and isn't "safe" or "good" for your voice. 

Michael will cover:
- The Basics; reminder of how our voices actually work
- Warming up; what is useful, what isn't so much, the why and the how
- Eating & Drinking; myth-busting 'blanket rules', building your own routines
- Steaming, nebulising, and straws; what's the difference and do I need to bother?
- Mind & Body; what else can affect our voice that isn't necessarily anywhere near our 'voice box'
- Specific considerations for VAs
- Red Flags; what to look for and when to seek professional advice
