In this episode, I have a conversation with Philip Andrew Doucette. We discuss voice rehabilitation and the different roles of a SLP, SVS and a Vocologist. We then talk about the evolution of the 'Children's Chorus' and the framework around it.
Phil Doucette ("doo-SET") is member of the Voice Care Team at Philadelphia Ear Nose and Throat Associates. He is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and Singing Voice Specialist.
His interest in voice has taken him down many paths as a performer, collaborator, teacher, conductor, researcher, and clinician. As a performer and artistic collaborator, he has extensive professional experience in a variety of styles including opera, oratorio, operetta, choral, musical theater, folk, rock, and pop, and jazz, as well as non-western traditions including classical Arabic and Indian (Hindustani and Carnatic) song.
Phil is an active choral conductor, serving as the Associate Director of the Wilmington Children's Chorus since 2009. He is also Associate Conductor of the Thomas Jefferson University Choir.
He has been a featured presenter on issues relating to testosterone-dominant voice change at regional American Choral Directors Association events and has been a presenting lecturer at several colleges and universities on a variety of issues including voice health and pedagogy as well as care for the high-performance voice user. He also serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Voice.
Phil holds a Master of Music in Voice Performance and Pedagogy from The Pennsylvania State University and a Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology from West Chester University. He is a member of The National Association of Teachers of Singing, The Voice Foundation, The American Speech and Hearing Association, the American Guild of Musical Artists, and The American Choral Directors Association.
