Description

Singers and other vocal performers can require complex care. As our guests explain, these “vocal athletes” may need a team of interdisciplinary providers on the sidelines.


Speech-language pathologist and researcher Aaron Johnson (NYU Langone Health) and singing coach Tyley Ross (New York University Tisch School of the Arts) join the podcast to have a conversation on voice care.


They discuss habilitation and rehabilitation of the voice. As Johnson puts it, “We oftentimes are not just bringing [clients] back to where they were … because what they were doing, sometimes, is what led them to being in our clinic in the first place.”


They describe where their work overlaps and diverges, specific techniques they use, how patients respond to their work, and the insights this work has provided into their own voices.
