Louise Bale has worked in the NSW Health system for the past 50 years. After commencing her career as a Nurse and then Midwife, she moved out of hospitals to work as a Community Nurse, supporting people to be at their best in their own environment, so it was a natural fit for Louise to move away from clinical nursing and into Health Promotion and Prevention. After working many years in Health Promotion, she went on to complete postgraduate studies in Social Work and embrace the advocacy and human rights aspects of her work. Little did she know how useful this would become in her personal life. 21 years ago, at age 46, Louise was diagnosed with Spasmodic Dysphonia – a rare & chronic neurological voice disorder. While she continued her paid work despite the challenges, she also became passionate about providing support and advocacy for people living with life-changing voice issues. As a result, in her spare time, she founded the Australian Dysphonia Network (ADN), a national health promotion charity for people living with dysphonia, or caring for someone with a voice disorder. Ten years on, the ADN has provided support and connection for hundreds of people affected, while building strong professional and research connections to improve the diagnosis and management of voice
disorders.

Junior Giscombe first began singing in a local band at the age of 14, encouraged by the sounds of doo-wop, early Motown, soul and reggae. As the years passed however, the hobby became a full time musical career and Junior realised that his talents lay in writing and performing his own music. His first recordings date back to a cover of the ever green song “Nice and Slow“ by Jessie Green, then the song which got him noticed “Hot up and Heated”.
Initially signed to Phonogram Records, 1982 saw Junior hit the chart heights with the infectious anthem ‘Mama Used To Say’ which became a transatlantic hit, prompting Junior’s appearance as the first black British artist on Soul Train and earning him Billboard’s ‘Best Newcomer Award’ presented by the legendary James Brown. The U.S. hit, ‘Too late’ which reached no 8 and his auspicious debut album ‘Ji’ followed.
Junior’s second album ‘Inside Looking Out’ was released in 1983 featuring the U.S. hit ‘Communication Breakdown’. Travelling throughout the U.S. for promotion, Junior teamed up with the renowned producer Arif Mardin, who was later to contribute tracks to Junior’s third album ‘Acquired Taste’ released in 1984. That same year Junior wrote ‘Do You Really Want My Love?’ for the multi platinum selling Beverly Hills Cop sound track album. At this time he was subsequently enjoying success as a songwriter with his compositions recorded by artists such as Phyllis Hyman and Sheena Easton.
What followed in 1987 was Junior’s biggest European hit, ‘Another Step’, a duet with Kim Wilde, which reached number 6 in the U.K charts. A string of performances including a tour with Wilde as opening act for Michael Jackson took place.
Towards the end of 1987 Junior completed ‘Sophisticated Street’, his fourth and last album for Polygram. Recorded in Minneapolis with producer Monte Moir and in L.A. with Stewart Levine, the track ‘Yes If You Want Me’ emerged as the album’s biggest hit single, providing Junior with yet another top 20 U.S. R&B entry in the Spring of 1988.
Taking time off to re-evaluate his direction, Junior felt he needed to enhance his creative control and went on to work with his choice of producers namely; Alan Glass, Blacksmith, Simon Law (ex Soul II Soul), Robbie Taylor and Greg Smith. From this collaboration of writers/producers came the album ‘Stand Strong’, released on MCA. This heralded as Junior’s most focused work since his debut album. Mixing an exciting variety of music, the album included such outstanding tracks as the sublime’ Morning Will Come’ and the nasty groove of ‘Step Off’.
Although critically acclaimed by all who heard it, Junior felt the album should have achieved more. “Both I and the record company (MCA) felt that the songs on ‘Stand Strong’ were just too good to be ignored and so I wanted to do something to reintroduce them to a new audience. Finally we rested on the idea of re-working the tracks and producing a new album, which would include 6 new tracks so as to give something more to those people who bought ‘Stand Strong’.

Rebecca Moseley-Morgan, an award-winning alumna of the Royal College of Music (RCM), and has enjoyed an extensive professional singing career. She has performed with renowned companies such as Glyndebourne, Welsh National Opera (WNO), and Opera 80, among others. As a soloist, Rebecca has graced stages across the United Kingdom and Europe, earning recognition for her artistry and versatility.
Recently, Rebecca was awarded her PhD in voice science and vocal pedagogy by University College London. Her doctoral thesis, entitled “A Longitudinal Study of Vocal Functionality and Longevity in the Mature Female Singer,” represents a significant advancement in a field that has historically seen little research. Her work addresses important questions, such as why the singing voice changes with age, what strategies can mitigate age-related vocal changes, and whether vocal functionality can be improved in mature singers.
Rebecca’s research is highly relevant, especially in light of the growing interest in the health and wellbeing benefits associated with singing. Her findings offer encouragement to older singers, demonstrating that it is possible to maintain, and even enhance, vocal functionality from mid-life through to old age. This research fills a critical gap in knowledge and provides practical guidance for singers experiencing age-related vocal changes.
As both a singer and a voice scientist, Rebecca has consistently placed music at the centre of her research. Her primary aim has been to develop pedagogical methods grounded in scientific understanding, equipping singers with the technical skills necessary to meet the demands of their repertoire. Rebecca’s work also supports choral conductors, providing them with knowledge to help singers optimise vocal efficiency and reduce unnecessary effort.
Rebecca has shared her research at numerous prestigious conferences, including the Pan European Voice Conference (2017, 2019, 2022, and 2024), the International Congress of Voice Teachers (ICVT) in Vienna, the Voice Geeks Conference in the UK, Harmony Intensive in India, and other events in Poland, Finland, and Sweden.
Rebecca currently serves as Chair of Research and President-elect for the British Voice Association. She maintains a busy independent voice studio in Oxford, delivers workshops throughout the UK, and supervises PhD candidates at the Voice Study Centre, University of Essex. Additionally, she is authoring a book on vocal pedagogy, focusing on voices from midlife to maturity.
Rebecca’s overarching goal is to share her science-informed vocal techniques with singers of all ages, empowering them to enjoy singing throughout their lives.
