What Is Voice Therapy?

Voice therapy is a type of speech-language therapy that helps you improve the sound, strength, and function of your voice. It involves training the muscles involved in voice production — including the vocal folds, breath support system, and resonance chambers.

People often seek voice therapy when they experience:

  • Hoarseness or raspiness

  • Chronic vocal fatigue or strain

  • Loss of vocal power or projection

  • Breathy or weak-sounding voice

  • Pitch changes

  • Voice tremor or vocal instability

  • Complete or partial voice loss

Who Benefits from Voice Therapy?

Voice therapy is helpful for adults with voice changes related to:

  • Vocal cord paralysis or paresis

  • Parkinson’s disease or other neurological conditions

  • Stroke or brain injury

  • Age-related vocal weakening (presbyphonia)

  • Vocal nodules or polyps (non-surgical cases)

  • Chronic laryngitis or inflammation

  • Overuse or misuse of the voice (e.g., teachers, singers, public speakers)

  • Post-surgical voice rehabilitation

  • Breathing disorders that impact voice

You don’t need to be a professional speaker to benefit — if your voice feels like it no longer reflects who you are, therapy can help restore it.

Frequently Asked Questions: Voice Therapy for Adults

What is voice therapy?

Voice therapy is a type of speech-language therapy focused on improving how your voice sounds and functions. It helps treat hoarseness, vocal strain, breathiness, pitch changes, and voice loss through targeted exercises, breathing techniques, and vocal behavior training.

Who should consider voice therapy?

You may benefit from voice therapy if you experience:

  • Chronic hoarseness or a raspy voice

  • Vocal fatigue or pain after speaking

  • A breathy, weak, or monotone voice

  • Difficulty being heard in groups or over the phone

  • Voice changes due to aging, surgery, or a neurological condition

  • Loss of vocal power or control

  • A voice that no longer reflects how you feel or who you are

Voice therapy is especially helpful for people with Parkinson’s, stroke, vocal cord paresis, presbyphonia (age-related vocal weakening), and chronic laryngitis.

What causes voice problems in adults?

Voice disorders in adults can result from:

  • Neurological conditions (Parkinson’s, ALS, stroke)

  • Vocal fold paralysis or paresis

  • Overuse or misuse of the voice (e.g., teachers, performers, public speakers)

  • Chronic inflammation or reflux (laryngopharyngeal reflux)

  • Surgery or intubation

  • Aging (voice muscles can weaken over time)

  • Functional issues like muscle tension dysphonia

Nina works with patients to determine the root cause and build a targeted treatment plan.

How does voice therapy work?

Voice therapy strengthens and re-coordinates the muscles used for speaking. Therapy may include:

  • Breath support training

  • Vocal strengthening exercises

  • Pitch, volume, and resonance work

  • Strategies to reduce tension and strain

  • Techniques to speak more clearly and comfortably

  • SPEAKOUT!-style voice therapy for Parkinson’s and related conditions

  • Vocal hygiene education to protect your voice long-term

Each plan is customized to the patient’s diagnosis and lifestyle.

What does a typical voice therapy session look like?

A voice therapy session with Nina typically includes:

  • A vocal warm-up and breathing exercises

  • Repetition of targeted sounds, words, or phrases

  • Real-world speaking practice (reading aloud, conversations)

  • Monitoring and feedback to improve clarity and efficiency

  • Guidance on how to care for your voice outside of therapy

Sessions take place in your home, creating a low-pressure environment where you can focus and relax.

Can voice therapy help with Parkinson’s?

Yes. Parkinson’s often causes soft, flat, or monotone speech that becomes hard to hear or understand. Nina uses techniques inspired by the SPEAKOUT! method to help patients:

  • Increase vocal volume

  • Improve speech clarity

  • Strengthen vocal control

  • Build confidence in daily conversations

How long does voice therapy take?

Improvement timelines vary based on your condition and consistency. Some patients see noticeable progress in just a few sessions; others require longer-term therapy to rebuild and maintain vocal function.

Nina will work with you to set clear, measurable goals and track your progress over time.

Is voice therapy just for people who speak professionally?

Not at all. While many professionals benefit from voice therapy, it’s for anyone who struggles with their voice in everyday life — whether that means talking on the phone, ordering at a restaurant, or chatting with family.

If your voice isn’t working the way it used to — or if it feels like work to speak — therapy may help.

Do you offer therapy after voice surgery?

Yes. Nina can support post-surgical voice recovery, in coordination with your ENT or laryngologist. Therapy focuses on safe vocal function, reducing strain, and gradually rebuilding strength and flexibility.
