Endoscopy e-book
Vocal Process has produced six downloadable endoscopy video e-books called Voicebox Videos. They are making donations amounting to 10% of the sales of the videos to registered charities that are concerned with voice, music, health or teaching. We are delighted that the BVA is one of the charities chosen to receive such donations.The video e-books show endoscopic footage filmed by Julian McGlashan, Tom Harris and Moshe Harrell, of a healthy larynx performing different fundamental vocal tasks in speaking and singing. This is a useful teaching resource produced by Jeremy Fisher. Jeremy and Gillyanne Kayes are the subjects and Jeremy narrates. There is more information on www.voiceboxvideos.com or on the main Vocal Process website at www.vocalprocess.co.uk
