Voice Therapy;
When Should I or my loved one get a
Voice Evaluation?
Voice therapy involves teaching good vocal hygiene, eliminating vocal abuses, and direct voice treatment to alter pitch, loudness, or breath support for good voicing. Stress reduction techniques and relaxation exercises are often taught, as well.
The purpose of voice therapy is to help you attain the best possible voice and the most relief from those symptoms that are bothering you. Voice therapy programs generally are made up of an educational component and a technical skills training component. The educational component includes an overview of normal, healthy voice production and vocal hygiene habits. The majority of the time spent in therapy sessions focuses upon the technical skills training component. This training consists of exercises to help coordinate breathing, producing sound and achieving the pitch, loudness and quality of the sound you desire in a way that is healthy for the vocal folds. The specific type of technical skills training will depend upon your specific voice disorder –– the symptoms you are experiencing and the underlying cause.
