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.

Details of your World Voice Day Event

All are welcome to come and go throughout the event. The event will begin with musical performances from School of Music and Theatre Arts students. We will then get various perspectives on caring for the voice, including from people who have experienced voice disorders. From 2:45-3:45 PM CST, Brittany L. Perrine, Ph.D., will host a multi-disciplinary panel including a speech-language pathologist, singing voice expert, and a laryngologist. The panelists will discuss how each professional would care for a voice experiencing a problem. We will end the day with a demonstration from VirtuOSO, Baylor University’s own award winning ensemble.
