How can the speech language pathologist expand their choices (‘bag of tricks’) for achieving balanced oral-nasal resonance and ultimately more efficient voice production? Each patient enters voice therapy with different voice use patterns and responds to voice therapy techniques in different ways. It is important to have a wide array of therapy tools to identify what works best for the patient and yields the desired voice result. This course will review the anatomy and physiology of voice production and source-filter theory to guide the SLP in expanding therapeutic choices for achieving balanced oral-nasal resonance. At the conclusion of this course the speech language pathologist will understand various methods for achieving balanced oral-nasal resonance during voice production and the physiologic principles that guide this process.

Chapters & learning objectives
1. The Anatomy and Physiology and its Impact on Resonance
This chapter will present an overview of the anatomy and physiology of voice production and review the source-filter theory specifically as they relate to altering resonance. Understanding of this information provides the basis for decision-making throughout the therapeutic process.
2. Resonant Therapy Tricks
Resonant therapy techniques aid in achieving the ‘biggest bang for your vocal buck’. This chapter will focus on expanding the speech language pathologists’ tools when doing resonant voice therapy to maximize vocal outcomes.
3. Troubleshooting for Resonance
The long-term goal of voice therapy is to provide the patient with tools to manage their voice and troubleshoot independently. First however, the clinician must identify breakdowns when working to achieve resonant voice production and troubleshoot with the patient to remediate this.
