Vocal Health for Teachers
Teachers are the most overworked professional voice users in the country. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association both report that 10–15% of teachers have a voice disorder at any given time, and roughly 1 in 10 teachers will eventually have to modify their job or leave the profession because of a voice issue. Teachers are at higher risk of voice disorders than singers. Most teachers do not know this.
Advanced Vocal Technique for Teachers
Teachers have the most demanding vocal workload of any profession. Six hours of active classroom speaking, every weekday, for nine months a year, across thirty-year careers. No working performer puts that kind of cumulative load on their voice. According to NIDCD figures, teachers report voice problems at a rate roughly three times higher than the general workforce — and for many it ends careers.
