Abstract
Introduction Singers experiencing voice problems, whether temporary or chronic in nature, can face significant professional repercussions as well as related financial issues and psychological distress.1 Vocal professionals, especially voice teachers, play a crucial role in the teaching of healthy vocal behaviors in singers from an early age or early on in their careers. [...]current and future research needs are described to better understand risk factors and preventative measures. Ongoing Research on Vocat Pathologies The voice care team at the University of Miami is conducting a longitudinal study evaluating vocal health in undergraduate vocal performance students in classical, contemporary commercial music (CCM), and musical theater. General otolaryngologists may only have access to standard laryngoscopic equipment. Because of this, it would be important to ask about the equipment being used during the medical evaluation.
