voice therapy

voice therapy based on Estill Voice Model The study will provide primarily direct intervention, i.e. working directly on the voice with voice exercises based on the Estill model of voice. This will be structured and hierarchical. Participants will work through the content one-to-one with the voice specialist SLT at their level and pace, to suit their specific vocal needs, again reflecting current clinical practice. Participants may need fewer or more than four sessions to gain the required skills. Should patients need more than six session of voice therapy to recover their voice fully, final assessment for the study purposes will be taken at session 6, and voice therapy will continue as required.
