The subject area of Speech Training offers voice counselling for all students attending the course "Speech Training/Fundamentals of Speech". The focus is primarily on counselling for students who aspire to a teaching profession. If there is free capacity, the counselling service can also be used by students on other courses in our subject area.
The counselling sessions offer the opportunity for individual advice and support in matters of
- vocal health and vocal abnormalities (e.g. functional dysphonia)
- articulatory abnormalities (e.g. sigmatisms, dialectal articulation) and
- further voice prophylaxis and speech training measures
- Analysis of conspicuous phonetic peculiarities
The further procedure (e.g. articulation or voice condition training) will be discussed personally in an individual consultation. All voice consultations take place in consultation with the respective lecturer in teaching building 1 (C 03), room 322 (teaching room) or room 348 (office) or as an online consultation (Webex).
