World Menopause Day Special
with Joanne Bozeman, Dr Filipa La and Dr Jenevora Williams
October 18th is World Menopause Day, so we’ve invited Joanne Bozeman and Dr Filipa La to speak with Dr Jenevora Williams and shed some light on what goes on for the cis female voice user when they experience menopause. We know that hormonal changes affect the voice, but what more do we know now, and what can we do to navigate this journey
Joanne Bozeman is the author of Singing Through Change, Dr Filipa La (pre-recorded interview) is one of the foremost researchers on the influence of hormones on the female voice.
All VHE Members will receive a Zoom link the day before the event.
