Vocal Restoration Programs After Acute Vocal Exertion
The proposed research will investigate the most effective strategy to reduce vocal exertion
reported by speakers in noisy environments. Repeated vocal exertion can lead to voice
problems and therefore identifying effective strategies can lead to better prevention of
acquired voice disorders. This study will compare the effects of vocal rest and controlled
phonation both before and after vocal exertion. The investigators hypothesize that vocal rest
and controlled phonation will mitigate the negative effects of vocal exertion.
