Vocal Health in Professional Voice equips readers with the knowledge, training, and practical tips they need to care for their voices, boost performance, and avoid developing preventable voice disorders. The opening chapter discusses normal voice and the physical process of human oral communication. Readers learn about the three individual components of normal voice production-breathing, phonation, and resonance-speech development, the neurophysiological aspects of speech, voicing emotions, and more. Additional chapters explore voice as a professional tool, signs of voice disorders, types of occupational voice disorders, and how to prevent them. Basic vocal hygiene standards, the importance of relaxation, and vocal technique are addressed. The text offers a practical guide to active voice, featuring an approachable and sustainable daily plan of vocal exercises, oral aerobics to promote greater levels of strength and flexibility to articulatory structures, isolated exercises for the tongue, lips, and soft palate, tips for warming up and cooling down, and more. The final chapter connects the material with real-world professions, including teaching, performing, providing speech therapy, broadcasting, telemarketing, coaching, leading a religious organization, and serving as a politician. A brief and informative guide, Vocal Health in Professional Voice is an ideal resource for any student planning to entering a vocation in which they will use their voice frequently or in various capacities.
