Is there potential for using beatboxing in supporting laryngectomees?: findings from a public engagement project

This paper outlines key findings from the UCL public engagement project Beatboxing after laryngectomy. The project was a collaboration between Dr Evangelos Himonides from the UCL Institute of Education and Shout at Cancer, the only charity, globally, that implements singing and acting techniques in the voice rehabilitation for laryngectomies. Clinicians, patients with laryngectomies and young people from East London were brought together to explore the role of beatboxing in voice rehabilitation and raise awareness of the difficulties facing those without voice boxes.
