Voice Care And Training For...

Dielle Hannah Wood

Welcome to Voice Care and Training For Speakers. My name is Dielle, and I have been a trained vocalist since I was a child. When I started my own business as an adult, I attended a business training seminar with an exceptional speaker and coach. He was struggling with his voice due to the demands of his schedule and intense training diary. I grabbed him at tea time and gave him a few quick pointers about voice care, which made such an impact so quickly, it made me realise that many professional speakers may not have the same training as us singers, in how to care for their voices.
What would happen to your business or your work if you lost your voice?
If you speak for work, you are a professional voice user. You might be a teacher, a yoga instructor, a receptionist, a trainer, a motivational speaker, or work on the telephone. You don’t have to be an actor, politician or orator to be a professional voice user.
More and more our work involves doing live videos, speaking on podcasts, and giving presentations in all walks of life. This audiobook is here to help you develop and maintain fitness in your voice, primarily to keep you healthy.
In this book you will find exercises and advice for building strength and stamina in your voice, general voice care, developing performance skills in dynamics and modulation, and how to prepare for big events.
None of these exercises are intended to train your natural expression out of you, they are there to develop your comfort and skill in commanding your natural voice, and enable you to employ your greatest range of natural expression with ease.

Youth Vaping Unveiled -...

Dr. Josh J. Mack

As we delve deeper into this topic, we will navigate the intricate web of influences that drive these behaviors. From the powerful force of peer pressure to the allure of projecting a particular social image, urban youth often find themselves at a crossroads where their choices are influenced by a myriad of factors. The accessibility of vaping products and drugs in urban environments, coupled with the lack of awareness about their consequences, further complicates the landscape. Moreover, we will explore how, for some urban youth, vaping and substance use serve as coping mechanisms for the stress, trauma, and mental health challenges they face. The quest for social acceptance and recognition may sometimes lead them down a path of experimentation that can have lasting implications. 
 This exploration is not merely an academic exercise but a crucial endeavor to shed light on the dynamics of urban youth culture and to provide insights that can inform prevention and intervention strategies. By understanding the motivations behind these behaviors, I aim to empower educators, parents, community leaders, and the youth themselves to make informed decisions and foster healthier environments. Each chapter of this book will delve into a different facet of this complex issue, offering perspectives, research findings, and strategies for addressing the challenges posed by vaping and substance use among urban youth. Through knowledge and understanding, we can work collectively to support urban youth in making choices that lead to healthier and more positive outcomes. 
Join me on this journey of exploration and discovery as we seek to comprehend why urban youth smoke vapes and do drugs to impress their peers and, in doing so, strive to create a better future for them and their communities.
