EVERY DAY A VOICE (Phyland, 2026)
Every day is a voice day…
for work and for art,
for speaking, singing
and being heard.

On April 16, we listen wider: to the bright, the fragile, the fierce, the different
a chorus of colours crossing oceans,
each voice carrying a world.

We tend them like living instruments:
kept supple, not strained,
used with care, not worn thin.

We speak to connect, not to divide,
to reach, not to drown out
and we remember, with quiet gratitude,
that our voices can also be our votes.

WVD Event TitleAMA about voice production / health / training… (for all)

World Voice Day Workshop with Sophie

I’m Sophie, a voice coach, collaborating with laryngologists, voice therapists, and singing teachers, in the US and in Europe. For over 30 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of physiology, pathology, and practical technique to help individuals understand and strengthen their voice.

This Free World Voice Day Workshop is your opportunity to ask anything you’ve ever wondered about voice:

– Everyday voice struggles and practical solutions
– Illustrations and clear, accurate explanations to support every answer
– A few foundational drills you can start using right away

Format and goals
