TL;DR
The study concluded that SOVTEs are an effective intervention for improving vocal health and may serve as a valuable strategy for the prevention and management of occupational voice problems among teachers.
Abstract
Teachers are professional voice users who are highly susceptible to voice problems due to prolonged vocal demands. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Semi Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises (SOVTEs) on the vocal characteristics of lower primary school teachers. A total of 35 female teachers aged 30-50 years with a minimum of five years of teaching experience participated in the study. The results revealed significant improvements in acoustic voice parameters following an eight week SOVTE program, indicating enhanced vocal function. The study concluded that SOVTEs are an effective intervention for improving vocal health and may serve as a valuable strategy for the prevention and management of occupational voice problems among teachers.
PURPOSE
The present study aimed at evaluating the impact of a voice amplification system plus vocal hygiene on aerodynamic, acoustic, and self-reported outcomes in elementary school teachers with and without voice problems.
METHOD
A total of 217 elementary school teachers were initially recruited: 108 normal-voiced p...

BACKGROUND
Although in-person and face-to-face voice therapies have been used for years in professional voice users with voice fatigue, limited research examining the outcomes of group voice therapy via telepractice is available.

Semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTE) are vocal exercises involving partial occlusion in the front part of the vocal tract, often through phonation into a narrow tube. Although SOVTE are widely used in voice therapy and pedagogy, the physiological mechanisms underlying their therapeutic benefits remain unclear. I...

Healthy individuals carry a risk of developing voice disorders from vocal abuse, prompting the development of preventive measures. We hypothesized that resonant voice exercises, typically prescribed for individuals with vocal problems, might positively affect phonatory performance in those without existing voice disord...
