Phonatory Resistance Strengthening - Scales Advanced - Doe Ray Me Fah Suh La Te Doe

Phorte Exercises that target advanced vocal range practice.
Individuals are reminded to maintain a "strong" voice throughout these treatment exercises. PhoRTE has a less intensive intervention schedule than LSVT. PhoRTE also differs in that it combines both loudness and pitch when producing phrases (i.e., loud and low pitch; loud and high pitch). Use of PhoRTE has been studied in adults with presbyphonia (aging voice) as a way to improve vocal outcomes (e.g., decrease phonatory effort) and increase voice-related quality of life (Ziegler, Verdolini Abbott, Johns, Klein, & Hapner, 2014).
