VOICE RECOVERY
Voice Recovery at The Singing Loft is a structured program designed to restore healthy vocal function and rebuild strength after strain, fatigue, injury, or surgery. The sessions focus on re-establishing efficient breath coordination, reducing muscular tension, and stabilising clear tone production.
Working alongside our certified allied health speech assistants, you will engage in carefully sequenced therapeutic exercises that retrain vocal efficiency at a sustainable pace. The program prioritises safe progression—supporting improved vocal stamina, consistency, and ease in both speaking and singing.
With close supervision and evidence-informed techniques, you will rebuild confidence in your voice while developing long-term strategies for vocal care, resilience, and ongoing health.
ASSESSMENT
Every Voice Recovery journey begins with a detailed assessment to identify underlying causes and compensatory behaviors.
Focus areas include:
Case history review (vocal load, medical background, lifestyle factors)
Perceptual voice evaluation (quality, breathiness, strain, stability)
Breathing pattern and airflow assessment
Postural alignment and muscular tension screening
Functional pitch range and stamina evaluation
Identification of inefficient phonation patterns
Baseline documentation for progress tracking
This comprehensive assessment provides the clarity needed to design a targeted rehabilitation plan that addresses the specific causes, compensatory patterns, and functional needs of the voice.
CONDITIONING
This phase centres on re-establishing optimal breath–phonation coordination, reducing laryngeal tension, and restoring balanced, efficient vocal function.
Focus areas include:
Breath–phonation coordination retraining
Reduction of laryngeal hyperfunction and excess tension
Gentle onset and balanced vocal fold closure
Semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercises
Resonant voice therapy techniques
Jaw, tongue, neck, and shoulder tension release
Postural correction and muscular rebalancing
Gradual rebuilding of vocal stamina and endurance
Building on a targeted rehabilitation plan, this phase aims to restore efficient vocal function.
STRENGTHENING
After foundational coordination improves, scale exercises are introduced to support stable, everyday voice use and long-term resilience.
Focus areas include:
Conversational speech retraining
Professional voice-use strategies (teachers, speakers, performers)
Controlled volume and duration expansion
Stamina building
Vocal hygiene education
Hydration and lifestyle guidance
Preventative warm-up and cool-down routines
Relapse prevention strategies
Regular reviews
The goal is not only recovery, but the development of a resilient, reliable voice for sustainable long-term use.
