HAPPY WORLD VOICE DAY 2023!!!

 HAPPY WORLD VOICE DAY 2023!!

Happy WORLD VOICE DAY!! 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, occupational 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. “…We celebrate the HUMAN VOICE as a unique ASSET TO MANKIND.” (WVD website).
.
.
I truly BELIEVE in the importance of PRIORITIZING YOUR VOICE & LOVE to share this message with others. It’s near & dear to my heart & I’m really passionate about it… but you likely knew that already. ;)  I’m EXCITED to present to you a video collab ALLLLL about this MISSION from me & some absolutely incredible voice friends of mine. THANK YOU everyone who participated!! BIG SHOUT OUTS to @voice_physio @fayaway19 @vocalstrawsaustralia @kristie_voice @waltfritzpt @kaylanicolei @voicestraw @soundwavesvoice @sarahkervinvoice @vocalhealthskb @scharns @la_mikhail_ @voicefituk @sonnenbergvoice @tamruzi @the_voice_rehab @voicebrainbody @sharnee_lee_scott @ravisathyajith @stephanielewisyoga @mvdonaker @stephanie.watts.phd @innahusainmd

World Voice Day 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…to create realistic vocal schedules…to ensure adequate sleep…to reconnect with airflow…to learn healthy ways to project…to maintain optimal posture to support healthy voice use...& to release any muscle tension that might be negatively impacting the voice. The list goes on. FOCUS ON YOUR VOICE, give it attention, baby those vocal folds!
.
.

Your voice provides an authentic vehicle for you to deliver your very important message(s) out to the world; it carries out your MISSION. It exudes your ENERGY, your passion, your gifts & talents, & 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 (& always). CARE for your VOICE today (& always). USE your voice today (& always) to speak your incredibly important message out to this world…& INSPIRE others to do the same.

WORLD VOICE DAY Video for Dysphonia International...

.

Additionally, my voice SLP friend Sara and I created a quick video for Dysphonia International (formerly the National Spasmodic Dysphonia Association), which is the worldwide organization that our local Valley of Sun support group falls under. I am so grateful to be involved with this amazing organization and collaborate with everyone who is a part of it.
