How do Professional Singers and Speakers benefit from the Voice Center?
Professional singers and speakers often seek medical intervention to enhance voice quality and performance. They can get baseline pictures of the vocal cords taken. In other words, a documentation of where you are now. This can be useful for later comparison. The Voice Center provides a team approach to evaluation and treatment of professional voice users. They have the opportunity to receive speech therapy and singing therapy from Dana Gribble, MS who is a speech-language pathologist as well as a classically-trained singer. The Voice Center team prides itself in helping singers out of what they believe to be dire circumstances. The perception among singers is that a voice disorder or vocal cord lesions are career-enders. Very often this is not true, and the problem is treatable. A visit to the Voice Center helps the professional voice user understand that the voice box is not only an ‘instrument’ but also a system of muscles which can be rehabilitated.
