Subject: MEETING 11/10

BVU's next meeting will be Tuesday, 11/10, 7:30 p.m., MIT 2-135.
Our presenter will be Kate DeVore, a speech pathologist.

"Kate DeVore works as a speech pathologist specializing exclusively in
voice disorders at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.  She is also
a voice, speech and dialect coach for theatre productions and private
students, and she often gives workshops on Professional Voice.

"The voice workshop on 11/10 will have two main components.  The first
half will entail a lecture/discussion to provide information about the
voice in general, how to maintain vocal health and minimize the likelihood
of vocal injury, and how to recognize and combat early symptoms of voice
problems.

"The second half will be a participatory voice workshop that will include
exercises to decrease muscle tightness in voice-related muscles, open the
vocal tract to maximize its beneficial acoustic properties, and increase
breath support.  Exercises specific to maximizing vocal effectiveness
while using voice recognition software will also be included." [quoted
from KDeV]

Note new room: To get there, go in the front door (77 Mass Ave.) and go
straight down the Infinite Corridor for as long as you can. When you have
to turn, go right. You'll pass a corridor to the libraries on your left
(this intersection is distinguished by a mural of jungle animals), and
immediately afterward you'll be in Building 2. Room 135 will be on your
left. If you're coming from Mem Drive, Building 2 is on the right side of
Killian Court.
