Register now for “PD Voice Lab: Building the Ultimate Voice & Speech Home Practice Program,” a four-week workshop hosted by APDA Northwest. This is a structured series, not a drop-in program; each session builds on the one before it. A speech-language pathologist will guide participants in building a personalized voice and speech home practice program, step by step, together as a group. Topics across the four weeks include breath as the engine for strong speech, core voice exercises for louder and steadier communication, strategies to be better understood in everyday conversations, and exercises to boost facial expression and connection.
