An essential resource for all types of voice users providing practical tools that can help keep the voice healthy and reliable.

Licensed speech therapist, singer, and voice teacher Joanna Cazden suggests habits of both lifestyle and attitude that help readers prioritize vocal health, avoid common injuries, and enjoy a reliable and comfortable voice. Using simple language and combining modern medicine with home remedies and anecdotes, this is an indispensable, whole-person guide to vocal self-care.

This second edition is updated with current research and addresses new material, including:
- The effects of COVID-19 and other viruses
- Prevention of fatigue during video calls
- Vocalizing through a mask
- The latest psychology of making new habits stick

The book starts with the basics—where your voice box is, how it works, and why it can seem mysterious—and then dives into daily care, such as what to eat and drink and vocal rest. The next sections provide simple tips for getting past short-term hoarseness and straightforward advice about getting help for persistent problems, including when to see a doctor and how to choose between speech therapists and voice coaches. Alternative medicine and herbal remedies are included as well as a handy guide to lozenges and throat sprays. The book covers common challenges, like how to protect the voice during phone calls, travel, business events, and performers' meet-and-greet obligations.
