PART I: Voice Techniques to Manage Symptoms of Spasmodic Dysphonia and Related Voice Conditions

PART I: Many individuals are experiencing increased levels of stress and anxiety during these challenging times. Some may have had botulinum toxin injections cancelled or pushed out to an indefinite date, or cannot risk traveling to their voice center to receive an injection. Many have shifting work duties that include significantly increased phone and virtual meeting demands. All of these factors can worsen spasmodic dysphonia symptoms and can have a significant impact on one's quality of life. This two-part webinar, led by Speech Language Pathologist/Voice Therapist, Christie DeLuca, will walk you through specific voice techniques to help cope with and manage these voice symptoms. We'll cover voice therapy techniques to decrease strain, tension, throat discomfort and severity of breaks when speaking, to increase speech fluency, and to increase ease and clarity of speech. We will discuss helpful "tricks" and tools for speaking on the phone, speaking in virtual meetings, and projecting your voice.without effort.
