Getting to Know Maurice Goodwin & His Transformative Approach to Voice

What does it mean when the voice feels tired, effortful, or even painful, but the physical demand may actually be relatively small?

In this episode, Christine sits down with Maurice Goodwin, CCC-SLP, for a conversation about his work, his approach to voice, and some of the questions that shape the way he works with singers and professional voice users.

They explore vocal fatigue, sensory processing, pain, and the possibility that the nervous system can sometimes produce a heightened experience of effort or strain in response to relatively ordinary vocal demands.

How do we tell the difference? And how might understanding that distinction change the way we approach a tired voice?

This episode gives listeners an introduction to Maurice and his work ahead of his upcoming live workshop with The Visceral Voice, Making Sense of the Tired Voice, on Tuesday, October 6 at 12 PM ET via Zoom.
