Endoscopy
e-book
Vocal Process has produced a downloadable, endoscopy video, e-book, called Looking at a Voice, the first in a projected series. 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're delighted that the BVA is one of the charities chosen to receive such donations.
This video e-book shows endoscopic footage filmed by Julian McGlashan of a healthy larynx speaking and singing five vowels. Jeremy Fisher is both the subject and the narrator. There's more information on Vocal Process's website at www.vocalprocess.co.uk
