Voice of Your Life is dedicated to the healthy voice inside you.
I'm Joanna Cazden, a speech pathologist, singer, voice coach, and teacher. In my "day job" I help people with a variety of voice problems: nodules, polyps, paresis, vocal fatigue, and many more (find out how to work with me here). I created this site and wrote my book to help you take care of your voice—avoid some of the most common problems—and to find the right kind of help when something does go wrong.
Everyone - performing artist or not - deserves to understand the amazing instrument inside your throat: a small but powerful organ that unites breath and muscle; words and music; spirit, sound, and communication. The voice is precious yet robust; you can protect it with simple daily life habits. And it's getting easier all the time to find teachers, therapists and physicians who are as dedicated to voice as you are.
So please browse in
the Health/FAQ resources and Readings archive; take the quiz; and check out my book, to help support the site. Thanks for visiting! |

Meet Joanna
 I started out as a musician and drama major; toured as a singer-songwriter for about 15 years; then got a degree and license in speech (voice) rehabilitation. Now I live on the boundary between art and science: helping all kinds of people get their voices healthy, helping student artists stay out of trouble, and sharing ideas on voice work with other speech therapists and vocal arts teachers. Voice is an exciting field these days, a growing community of performing artists learning voice science, doctors & researchers genuinely curious about performing artists' needs, and young singers and actors who value and practice healthy self-care. Come along!
