Dr. Cindy Milligan is a vocal coach, voice artist, and speech consultant for programs in vocal performance. She has an earned PhD in Communication with specializations in the spoken human voice and film. Her research focuses on using voice in the development of characters and she created a theory called Sonic Vocality, which explains how actors use their voices to portray characters. From that research, Dr. Milligan has produced some very useful digital tools for performers to help them use their voices creatively. Her love of education, technology and entrepreneurship allows her to help vocal artists in a way that gives them a strong, confident foundation for performing and communicating successfully and profitably. Today Dr. Milligan works with actors, voice over artists, spoken word artists, storytellers, comedians, and motivational speakers helping them explore the creative power in their voices. She is the founder of the Milligan Vocal Arts Institute.
