Thank you @thevocalhealth for having me speak today about #singing and #longcovid. I was truly honoured to share the conversation with @keirphilip and learn about his work with the ENO. #breathespeakpace #breathesingmove #singingforlunghealth

Looking forward to continuing the conversation about #singing and #LongCovid. #breathesingmove #breathespeakpace #voiceskills

Do you want to know how to help singers in your studio with Long Covid?

Are you a singer who has experienced it yourself?

@LaRadarina @OmPhoenix @Vocalprocess @voicefituk @BVAVoice @burnay_tori @f_gillies @apl104 But there’s also the cognitive and motor differences. Singing is a different pathway than speaking and I *suspect* this interrupts any cough sensitivity or habits. Vibrations also likely have a calming effect as does slow airflow and positive expiratory pressure.

@OmPhoenix @Vocalprocess @voicefituk @BVAVoice @burnay_tori @f_gillies Perhaps there’s a paper in that!

[Dr. Rachel Goldenberg @healthyvoiceYYC]

@OmPhoenix @Vocalprocess @voicefituk @BVAVoice @burnay_tori @f_gillies Some quick thoughts off the top of my head: extending exhale (need to cough on exhale so theoretically control helps), desensitization from oral motor control and better pharyngeal awareness, release of tension, better breath control, reduced mucus viscosity, distraction

[Dr. Rachel Goldenberg @healthyvoiceYYC]

Very interesting indeed! Read the thread to see the before and after!

Interesting laryngeal examination today - permission to share
First impression:
- Reduced mov’t of right vocal cord
- Appeared fixed, shorter & bowed
- ? Right vocal cord paresis/ paralysis with compensatory muscle tension

BUT THEN……

Thanks to my single subject design, this nearly 40 year old face was asked for ID at the liquor store a week ago…

@Sephora I can give a whole keynote on this, I mean it

[Dr. Rachel Goldenberg @healthyvoiceYYC]

It was an honour to be a guest on the Some Stutter, Luh! podcast. We talked about my work with respiratory patients and my thoughts about how singing might help a person who stutters. #SLP #stuttering #Fluency #singingforlunghealth https://t.co/SY96J6AGDn

Happy Holidays! #holidays #home #family

[Dr. Rachel Goldenberg @healthyvoiceYYC]

Having made two class presentations via video for my #SLP program has made me VERY grateful for my #artseducation. Technical theatre skills, good audio and #voiceover are key to a polished video. It makes a huge difference and really needs to be taught in this #Zoom era!
