An essential resource for all types of voice users providing practical tools that can help keep the voice healthy and reliable.
Licensed speech therapist, singer, and voice teacher Joanna Cazden suggests habits of both lifestyle and attitude that help readers prioritize vocal health, avoid common injuries, and enjoy a reliable, comfortable, and self-expressive voice. Using simple language that combines modern medicine with practical advice and problem-solving anecdotes, this is an indispensable, whole-person guide to vocal self-care. This 2nd edition is updated with current research and adds new material, including:
- The effects of Covid-19 and other viruses - Avoiding fatigue during video calls - Mental health and spirituality in vocal wellness - The latest psychology for making new habits stick
The book starts with the basics - where your voice box is and how it works - and then dives into daily care, such as vocal rest, food and drink, and warming up. The next sections provide simple tips for recovery from short-term hoarseness and clear advice about getting help for persistent problems, such as when to see a doctor and the differences between a speech therapist and a voice coach. The best use of lozenges and throat sprays are explained alongside guidance on complimentary and alternative medicine and laryngeal massage. The final sections of the book address vocal challenges such as travel, business conventions, extreme artistic effects, and meet-and-greet events.
