In this episode, I have a conversation with Miriam VanMersbergen PhD about her work and research on vocal congruence, the degree to which someone feels in concert with their own voice. ‘Dr. van Mersbergen research areas include psychological influences in voice production with an emphasis in emotional and cognitive processes. She uses psychometric, behavioral, and psychophysiological methods to investigate influences of affect and cognition on voice production. Some of the goals of her research are to gain a better understanding of typical emotional reaction to vocal errors (i.e., feedback errors) and to assess if those with certain types of voice disorders respond differently to those errors. In addition, she continues to develop clinical measures; specifically she investigates a way to measure voice effort to be employed in voice clinics.'Are you interested in becoming a Supporter of The Visceral Voice Podcast?
