Field of Vocal Discovery 1 THESIS ABSTRACT A Field of Vocal Discovery: A Descriptive Study of Vocal Perception Nicola Oddy November 2001 Singing is a function of the human body and spirit which is as natural as laughter. Yet so many people in our culture shy away from singing because they feel that they have to know ‘how’. The purpose of this research is to explore how the singer perceives his or her own voice. How does the voice act as a channel for emotional and spiritual issues? How does the perception of the voice help or prevent the singer from being in the world? What kinds of fears prevent some people from singing? Does the perception of the voice change once the singer has had the opportunity to sing in a non-judgmental, safe environment? Answers to these questions were sought through a group of six people who attended a workshop entitled ‘A Field of Vocal Discovery.’ Five types of singers will be identified but in the context of this thesis, the singer’s perception of the voice was studied from the perspective of those who will not sing within earshot of anyone else, and possibly not when alone. The literature review is based in the areas of academic writings about the voice, the use of voice in therapy, the intangible nature of singing and sounding and theoretical foundations. This last area includes music therapy theory, field theory and theoretical thought in gestalt therapy. The method of research was conducted through the tradition of phenomenology in conjunction with a Heuristic approach. These were explored from the perspective of the practitioner researcher. Issues of judgement from the self and others emerged as influential in the singer’s experience of his or her own voice. 2 A FIELD OF VOCAL DISCOVERY: A descriptive study of vocal perception A thesis Presented to Antioch University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Counselling Psychology by Nicola Oddy, BMus MTA (music therapist accredited) Perth, ON.

  • A Voice Within
    Transformation - A Voice Within By Shyamli Mohamed It’s time to consider the long view. Reimagine work in holistic and integrated way, push the boundaries like never before. We have played “defense” well long enough, now it is time to take control of the game. - Build capacity to energize the vision and mission - Doing more with Less - Create an agile and engaged workforce - Reimagine delivery across the enterprise Long gone are the days when we did things in a way believed work must be done in certain ways, and by whom. These traditional ways no longer hold water. There is full culture shift in every organization, “do it or just fade away”, the world is shifting at breakneck speed and we better start running. Transformation is not about “technology”, it is rethinking, and reinvention of people, processes, technology tools, structures, to be completely new. I often hear, everyone everywhere is in transformation, but the question it begs to ask are you truly and really transforming or just mistaken with upgrading of technology, or systems or new process implementations as transformation. To be truly “Transformed”, it is critical to comprehend and recognize the term in its full capacity and successfully change beyond Physical limits. According to McKinsey experts an estimated 70% of transformations fail to achieve it mission. I have completed three transformations in my career span to date, 1st a business transformation which entailed 80 countries around the world and two more business and technology transformations. Transformation is difficult and long journey, it has kept me up many, many nights, but the benefits of three successful transformations is nothing short of magnificent In my experience most organizations struggle with transformations attributable to inadequacies in: - Maintaining disciplined timelines & milestones; - Overdesign of scope; - Leadership, - Inadequate attention to change management, - Training and - Communication A key factor above all things is to keep it Simple.

  • Evocations of Voice in Memory and Culture
    Ricardo Santhiago http://dx.doi.org/10.23925/2176-2724.2018v30i3p-595-606 “Where there is no sin, no forgiveness”: Evocations of voice in memory and culture “Onde não há pecado nem perdão”: Evocações da voz na memória e na cultura COMUNICATIONS “Donde no hay pecado ni perdón”: Evocaciones de la voz en la memoria y en la cultura Ricardo Santhiago* Abstract Introduction: The starting point for this communication is the idea that vocal production consists not only of an anatomical and physiological phenomenon, but also of a psychological and social one – dimensions which have been comprised by the Speech-Language Studies. Objective: The article aims to present and discuss three possible links between these dimensions: the visions about the voice engendered and circulated through Brazilian popular songs; the place occupied by the voice within the oral history practice and the specialized literature on this research method; the personal narratives by a variety of individuals about the presence and meaning of the voice in their lives. Methods: The work has collected several songs that approach the human voice as a theme, as well as testimonies recorded in an experimental project at the undergraduate level. They were interpreted in accordance with the principles of hermeneutics in an essay text. Conclusion: Both the Brazilian popular music and the testimonies given by persons who use the voice intensely demonstrate enormous variety and complexity in understanding the role of voice in the life of individuals. Keywords: Voice; Singing; Music; Memory.

Throughout the years this may last, there are inevitably moments of uncertainty, of confusion, of emptiness, or even moments where we lose track of where we are going and are drowned by the avalanche of knowledge. So was my case. But what seemed like a mountain too high to climb at the beginning became a task that could be managed step by step thanks to the support of many people. First of all, from the LIPP Programme in Munich, I woud like to thank its coordinator, Caroline Trautmann, and all the LIPP professors for what they have taught me along these three years, especially, Prof. Janney and my tutor, Prof. Wolfgang Schulze, for always believing in me and not hesitating to make suggestions when I was a bit lost. I am equally grateful to my tutor in the Universitat de València, Dr.

  • Episode 32/Stop Collecting the Gurus
    Episode 32: Stop Collecting Gurus I’m Emily P. Freeman and welcome to The Next Right Thing. You’re listening to episode 32. I’m all about creating space for your soul to breathe so that you can discern your next right thing in love. I work hard to make sure these episodes are relentlessly helpful and mercifully short. Because if you are desperate to discern your next right step, the last thing you need is a rambling podcast host. If you’re struggling to find your footing in the midst of a busy schedule, a life transition, or a general sense of decision fatigue, you’re in the right place. Today, I’ll share a simple perspective shift I’ve had that has helped keep anxiety at bay in the midst of uncertainty. Listen in. At the beginning of 2017, I distinctly remember a moment of realization I had about a particular source of anxiety and decision fatigue in my life. While a lot of my life felt fairly settled, at that time I was a bit unclear on my next steps in my work. I didn’t have a lot of answers so I decided to do one thing I had some control over, to finally tackle my email inbox. It didn’t take long before I found an unexpected source of stress hiding out in there. I wonder if you have it, too. The Next Right Thing with Emily P. Freeman !1 It is my firm belief that the contents of our email inbox always tell a story.

Made up of Dave Lambert, Jon Hendricks, and Annie Ross, they were the only interracial and mixed gender vocal jazz group in the United States in the late 1950s. In the wake of the Montgomery bus boycott victory and President Eisenhower’s consideration of the Equal Rights Act, the trio became one of the most popular vocal jazz groups of the day by singing lyricized arrangements of famous instrumental jazz recordings through a medium called vocalese. Although they seemed to reflect a utopian ideal of an integrated American society, each member of the group faced unique challenges. Referred to as the Poet Laureate of Jazz, African American lyricist and singer Jon Hendricks considers himself “a person who plays the horn without the horn,” and he is known for his gift with words.

  • The Voice Within Are Sponsored Through the 7Th Tradition
    ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS – NH - DISTRICT 12 NEWSLETTER – MAY/JUNE 2019 Serving the towns of: Bedford, Goffstown, Hooksett, Manchester, New Boston As time went on, I was entrusted with greater responsibility in service. Someone gave me keys to a THE church! Then, when some friends and fellows decided to form a Group, they asked me to take part and elected me their Group Service Representative (GSR). The business meetings taught me patience, love, and tolerance, yes - VOICE but the District and then Area meetings also taught me just how big the Conference structure and this Fellowship really is, that I was a part of a huge and altruistic movement, with a democratic structure, and that we all WITHIN had a voice in reasonable proportion to our responsibility. Service has also taught me some humility. One of the many definitions of this elusive concept states that its basic ingredient is the willingness to seek and perform God’s will. Well, service taught me that my higher power SERVICE – HOW WE CARRY makes his will known through the group conscience - of which I can be a part of at my home group, my District, or THE MESSAGE my Area business meetings. If I am being of service, I know I am a trusted servant - and not the master, who is the one in charge. Service has also taught me that service works.
