HAPPY WORLD VOICE DAY—Part Two!! Check out Part One on the VOXFIT® Instagram or Facebook pages. It's a great video and post that features several voice professionals and provides vocal wellness tips to speech pathologists and voice teachers who are now required to provide teletherapy services. But again--HAPPY WORLD VOICE DAY (Part 2)! If it was up to me, World Voice Day would be celebrated EVERYDAY (as it should be!). So CHEERS to another day of recognizing April 16th & its purpose in honoring & celebrating the VOICE. Sending VoiceLove & HEALTHY, positive VoiceVibes to all voice professionals, voice users, voice patients, & all those interested in or passionate about VOICE!

EVERY year, World Voice Day is a specific day when laryngologists, ENTs, voice-specialized speech pathologists, voice scientists, voice teachers, & all other voice professionals worldwide join together to educate the public on vocal health & voice care…AND (most importantly) to recognize & celebrate the VOICE & all its beauty. “In times of crisis, such as the current one, the HUMAN VOICE can, above all, UNITE and COMFORT people…We celebrate the HUMAN VOICE as a unique ASSET TO MANKIND.” (World Voice Day website). 

.

This is especially a great time for occupational voice users to HONOR their VOICES as the beautiful (& essential) INSTRUMENTS that they are…to prioritize vocal health…to find space for vocal warm-ups (and cool-downs)…to create realistic vocal schedules…to ensure adequate sleep…to reconnect with airflow…to learn healthy ways to project the voice (without strain)…to prioritize hydration...to maintain optimal posture to support healthy voice use...and to release any muscle tension that might be negatively impacting the voice. The list goes on. FOCUS ON YOUR VOICE. It provides a very authentic-to-you vehicle for you to deliver a very important message out to the world; it carries out your MISSION. It exudes your ENERGY, your gifts and talents, and your special “YOU-ness”; there is NO ONE that can accomplish this like YOU can.

.

Your voice must be free, healthy, reliable, & READY when you need it. LISTEN to your voice today (and always). Is your VOICE embodying your genuine authentic self & helping you accomplish your important mission in this world? CARE for your VOICE today (& always). How could you improve your vocal health &/or voice use habits? USE your voice today (& always) to speak, sing, inspire, teach, instruct, serve, motivate, guide, heal, encourage, and lead. Use your voice to share your incredibly important message with this world…& INSPIRE others to do the same. The world needs YOU…the world needs YOUR VOICE.
