Voice Disorders

Catalog description

This course focuses on the anatomic, physiologic, and perceptual aspects of voice production and the voice changes triggered by risk factors or changes to the larynx. Students refine their voice models, enhance discrimination of voice characteristics, and learn setup procedures to encourage easy phonation. They learn to use a hypothesis-driven context to link vocal characteristics to underlying physiology. Students identify risk factors and learn to promote efficient phonation within a multicultural context, including transgender voice production.
