Communicating well in a mask

We are thrilled to be able to share our digital resource – Communicating with a mask – through our British Academy project exploring the impact of Covid-19 on communication.

This interactive PDF with an accompanying audio guide guides participants through simple exercises to support better verbal communication while wearing a mask, covering posture, breath, pitch & volume, pace & pause, and articulation.

This was designed based on interviews with healthcare professionals at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Trust, and input from two of our brilliant Associate Artists: Hazel Holder and Yolanda Vasquez, who both have expertise in voice and breath.
