Call your voice mail and leave yourself a message. Then play it back and critically analyze the sound of your voice.

Were you shocked to hear a higher pitched or raspier voice than you were expecting, or perhaps a nasal quality or monotonous tone?

Unfortunately the voice that you heard is how others hear you every day. Your vocal tone can be a learned behavior or may be due to vocal conditions such as vocal nodules which are benign calluses on the vocal folds or even a vocal fold paresis or weakness following an upper respiratory infection.

During the initial assessment, sophisticated voice software will be used to record your voice while trial strategies are used to customize your vocal training program.

If you have been diagnosed with vocal nodules or polyps, therapy will involve determining what may have caused them and teaching you how to use your voice properly.

Therapy for most vocal conditions, requires three to four sessions and daily practice.
