Show Notes
In this episode of The Visceral Voice Podcast, we delve into the fascinating world of sex steroid hormones and their impact on the voice throughout the female life cycle. From puberty to menopause, hormonal fluctuations can significantly affect vocal quality, flexibility, and function. Join us as we explore how these hormones influence the voice, discuss the implications for singers and voice professionals, and offer insights into managing these changes for optimal vocal health. Whether you're a singer, voice teacher, or just curious about the interplay between hormones and the voice, this episode offers valuable information for every stage of life.
Joanne Bozeman, co-author of "Singing Through Change: Women’s Voices in Midlife, Menopause, and Beyond," has been a voice teacher for nearly 50 years, beginning when she was completing her music training at the University of Arizona. She taught singing at Lawrence University’s Conservatory of Music for 26 years and was an actively performing soprano. "Singing Through Change" (2020), emerged from her long-standing interest in voice health and the relationship of hormones with voice throughout the female lifespan. She presents internationally on the subject for organizations including ICVT, BVA, NATS, PAVA, and she is a tutor with Vocal Health Education.
