Professional voice users:
Those who use their voices extensively e.g. school teachers, presenters and singers are more susceptible to vocal issues.
Many people who rely on their voice for their professions, (for example singers or teachers) attend for one or two sessions to learn vocal exercises, optimal technique & warm-up routines to prevent vocal difficulties, maintain stamina, and achieve the best possible performance from their voices.
Most people understand how essential physical warm-ups are, but are not aware of the benefits of a vocal warm-up routine and ‘resets’ for ‘vocal athletes’ (anyone who uses their voice for long periods of time).
Learning vocal warm-ups, improving vocal technique and following ‘vocal hygiene tips’ such as managing reflux and drinking enough water can reduce vocal fatigue and a range of vocal symptoms.
The use of a personal voice amplifier may also be advised in some cases.
