Voice therapy provided by a speech-language pathologist (SLP) can help individuals who have voice disorders or voice problems such as hoarseness, voice weakness, or voice fatigue. The following are some common strategies used in voice therapy:

• Breathing exercises: Proper breathing techniques can help improve vocal quality and reduce voice strain.

• Vocal warm-up exercises: These exercises help to prepare the voice for speaking and singing and can improve vocal range, control and flexibility.

• Voice projection: SLPs will teach individuals how to project their voice effectively and efficiently.

• Voice modulation: Speech-language pathologists will work with individuals on how to adjust the pitch, volume and rhythm of their voice to improve overall vocal quality.

• Laryngeal massage and stretching: Gentle massage and stretching of the neck and throat can help improve voice production.

• Vocal rest: SLPs may advise individuals to take breaks from speaking and engage in voice-rest to reduce vocal strain.

• Habits and lifestyle changes: SLPs may provide advice on changes to lifestyle and habits to improve overall vocal health.

Voice therapy is usually done in individual sessions and may involve exercises to be practiced at home. The number of sessions and the frequency of therapy will depend on the individual's specific needs and progress.
