Lessac-Madsen Resonant Voice Therapy PDF is a scientific approach for treating hoarseness. Katherine Verdolini initiated this program during the 2000s in honor of two mentors who contributed to resonant voice theory and motor learning. Therapists use perceptual measures to guide clients toward the target behavior of resonant voice, which involves vibratory sensations on the anterior […]

Sound vibrations can bring about physical, emotional and spiritual balance – an essential component of yoga, meditation and other wellness practices. ART provides patient-specific resonant frequency acoustic energy into sinonasal cavities using an adjustable headband equipped with 2 bone conduction transducers and connected to a smartphone app. A pilot study revealed its success at alleviating […]

Voice therapy teaches clients to produce sound volume through resonance, including performing techniques designed to encourage an abducted laryngeal posture that has been shown to reduce nodules, polyps, reflux symptoms while at the same time decreasing phonotraumatic injury (Verdolini 2000). Therapists guide patients through an introspection and observation process using tools like scan-gel-show-tell to find […]

Resonant voice therapy has proven itself an effective solution for treating various voice disorders. The approach involves training patients to feel vibrations at the front of their faces (i.e., anterior alveolar ridge and lips) during easy phonation as well as voiced and voiceless sounds. Teaching clients how to implement this technique into their everyday conversation […]

Speech language pathologists working with individuals affected by cleft lip and palate and resonance disorders must be cognizant of how these conditions may alter voice quality, working closely with otolaryngologists and craniofacial teams in order to maximize speech outcomes. Ideal therapy should seek to establish a balanced ratio between oral and nasal sound energy for […]
