It begins with a philosophical discussion of adult learning theory, Self-Directed Learning, and the essay ends with tangible and practical steps for including Self-Directed Learning in the higher education classroom. Ultimately, the author encourages instructors to explore Self-Directed Learning teaching practices and for the field of voice studies to examine Self-Directed Learning further.KEYWORDS: Self-directed learningadult learningvoiceactingtheatre Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1. Admittedly, most of the adult learning references I offer are “classic” references, so they are quite old. The best (and more contemporary) resource as a primer on adult learning theory is Adult Learning: Linking Theory and Practice (Merriam and Bierema Citation2013).2. How a teacher negotiates their own bias in the classroom and how teachers can breakdown hierarchies (such as in “critical theory”) is an important and marvelous conversation. Oram (Citation2019) offers a starting place for reading on this topic in voice training. Nevertheless, this conversation is beyond the scope of this essay, which seeks to introduce Self-Directed Learning and offer some basic practices.3. Surveymonkey.com is perhaps the most well-known free survey software.4. See Sansom (Citation2016) for a discussion on varying learning styles in voice training.5. First published in 1949, Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely-used framework in education for discussing the “hierarchy” of learning objectives.Additional informationNotes on contributorsRockford SansomRockford Sansom, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Voice at Louisiana State University and the voice coach of LSU’s resident Equity theatre, Swine Palace.

This literature gives voice and speech researchers an opportunity to reconceptualize and assess their practices. Voice and Speech Training (VST) for actors shares certain techniques and attitudes in common with mindfulness. Thus, it is plausible that these two practices rely on similar psychological and neurological mechanisms and may produce similar benefits. We provide an interdisciplinary review of the contemporary literature regarding vocal production, VST practices, mindfulness, and meditation, highlighting conceptual and practical connections between them. We propose that attention is a common mechanism that unifies VST practices and mindfulness. We provide an overview of how attention and mindfulness meditation have been conceptualized and summarize recent empirical studies on their possible relationship. Finally, we suggest future directions for how interdisciplinary research teams might investigate the relationship between VST, mindfulness, and attention, and bring empirical methodologies to bear on questions of artistic significance.","PeriodicalId":36249,"journal":{"name":"Voice and Speech Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48045981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the training programs of community musicians, we sought to investigate the relationship between community music-makers and voice habilitation practices. We also sought to understand how community music-makers learn to adapt their personal vocal practices to an undergraduate curriculum. Ten community musicians participated in this study. They were drawn from a class that was following aspects of Kristin Linklater’s voice progression framework as laid out in her book Freeing the Natural Voice. Linklater’s material was supplemented with other interventions thought to promote voice habilitation, such as laryngeal massage (Mathieson 2011) and semi-occluded vocal tract exercises. Data was collected through class observations, interviews and surveys. While the body of participants was admittedly small, we did see evidence that the vocal habilitation practices advocated by the Linklater voice progression framework seemed to support the efforts of these community musicians to express themselves more effectively. A greater sample may add dimension to these preliminary findings. More study is needed.","PeriodicalId":36249,"journal":{"name":"Voice and Speech Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49599120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It further connects the origins of performance voice to the social sciences, highlighting the historical influences that psychodynamic therapeutic approaches have had toward informing somatic voice methodologies and pedagogy. By revisiting one thread within the historic collaboration between these fields, the article encourages actively revisiting cross-disciplinary collaborations to support knowledge-creation; which has the potential to advance both fields and encourage the development of trauma-informed, embodied frameworks to support integrated pedagogies and accessible interventions across disciplines.KEYWORDS: Performancevoicetraumacross-disciplinarypolyvagal theory Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1. While other voice and speech training methodologies have historically been taught, and continue to be taught globally, naming and detailing other approaches would exceed the scope of this paper. The historical thread which is being investigated and followed throughout this article is focused primarily on the origins of one methodology of voice that began, in part, by Iris Warren and later influenced Kristen Linklater. It is my hope that this article encourages further historiographic research and scholarship in our field.Additional informationNotes on contributorsShannon VickersShannon Vickers is Professor of Theatre Voice in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Winnipeg.
