Register for the 2025 Conference on Machine Learning!
Machine learning. Artificial intelligence. Data analysis. These fields are re-shaping the every industry in the world. Voice and speech is no different. From neural network mapping and laryngeal muscle control to detecting bio-markers and detailed dysphonia screening, there are an enormous number of applications for machine learning. We invite you to join us for a fascinating two-day discussion on the power of machine learning, how it is reshaping the work of modern scientists and how you can apply new techniques into your teaching, coaching and clinical practices. Don’t hesitate to join us. This will be a conference you won’t want to miss.

The Latest Research from NCVS
The Impact of Visual and Audiovisual Inputs on Voice Perception and Production
by Dr. Ümit Daşdöğen and Dr. Katherine Verdolini Abbott
Ever wonder about the future of voice and science disorders? Well, we’re about to enter into the world of Virtual Reality. In this article, the authors describe the impact of using VR in a speech clinic and how the technology is being used to help patients receive more personalized care.
Phonation Threshold Pressure in Inspiratory vs. Expiratory Phonation
by Dr. Jorge Lucero
Inspiratory and expiratory phonation has long been a researched topic but in this article, Dr. Jorge Lucero posits that inspiratory phonation is likely more challenging than expiratory and that the bias that many have to expiratory phonation may not be as clear cut as we thought.
Artificial intelligence methodologies to enhance visualisation and subsequent analysis of vocal fold dynamics
by Dr. Michael Döllinger
Don’t let the long title fool you. This research from Dr. Döllinger is a fascinating read about how AI is helping to assist in the analysis of how the vocal folds work together. By using AI to analyze many different aspects of vocal fold dynamics, a clearer picture of how the voice will and can work, is emerging.
New Book from Karin Cox and Ingo Titze
Voice is FREE after SOVT distinguishes itself as the first book dedicated to Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract methods and is inclusive with scientific explanation and application for singer, teacher and therapist alike. It incorporates a large bibliography of the evolution of these methods and an enormous amount of current peer reviewed literature in the area of voice. There are many visual examples, diagrams, tables and video links of demonstrations to enjoy for reference.
