We explore her journey from struggling with traditional anatomy materials to creating her own, how she uses anatomy in teaching, and why she believes learning about the voice should be joyful and memorable. Eimear also shares insights into her creative process, her successful Kickstarter campaign, and what might be next for Vocology Ireland.
