Nancy Bos, voice and performance expert, and founder and CEO of StudioBos Media, helps women understand the ten to fifteen year holistic impact of menopause on their voices, and how to strengthen their figurative and literal voices during the menopausal transition.
While building a career as an expert voice teacher, with over 25,000 hours with clients, Nancy experienced bewildering physical issues during her late 30s and 40s, which she eventually realized was perimenopause. And as a professional singer, voice teacher, and vocologist, she also realized that many women who sing are impacted by voice changes during menopause that stop them from singing.
Once Nancy understood her fear for her own voice, she made every effort to learn more about what might happen to her voice. When she found there were no resources available, she and two other women, Joanne Bozeman and Cate Frazier-Neely, made the bold move of becoming researchers on the topic and eventually writing the book Singing Through Change: Women’s Voices in Midlife, Menopause, and Beyond. Nancy continues her research on how to optimize the journey through menopause and is passionate about helping other women do the same.
Nancy is also the author of several of other best-selling books, including: The Teen Girl’s Singing Guide, and Singing 101: Vocal Basics and Fundamental Singing Skills
Nancy is a frequent speaker at international conferences and association meetings, including speaking at the International Conference of Voice Teachers in Vienna, and being a featured presenter for five conferences held by the National Association of Teachers of Singing. She has appeared on KUNM (NPR), KOB-TV, The KevinMD podcast, The Intelligent Vocalist podcast, and many others. Her highly impactful 2022 TEDx talk is The Power of Owning Your Narrative, and Nancy enjoys hosting the Empower Your Voice podcast.
