Live presentation with David McCabe

AOTOS members only

The Vocal Athlete – Why Knowing Physiology Matters

To reach higher levels of performance, the vocal athlete has to embrace the synthesis between the physical body and neuroscience. Many voice systems will focus on the physical elements of voice production – the anatomy of the voice. David’s presentation will help teachers understand what they are trying to accomplish with various exercises, allowing them to concentrate more effectively on each student’s progress, rather than just completing an exercise task.

For osteopaths, it is the subject they pride themselves on – their ‘Mastermind’ specialist subject you could say! David decided to take his passion further with an MSc in Human Anatomy with teaching at Edinburgh University. He has since taught anatomy at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. David is a founding member of OPACA, the Osteopathic Performing Arts Care Association. This is a group of osteopaths who have a special interest in the care of performers whether they be dancers, singers, actors or other performing groups.
