Who we help
Voice problems affect people from all walks of life. VocalCalm is designed to support a wide range of voice concerns.
Vocal Fatigue & Strain
Your voice feels tired, strained, or gives out during the day. Daily exercises can help restore comfort and build vocal resilience.
Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD)
Diagnosed with MTD or a functional voice disorder? VocalCalm provides the structured daily practice your therapist recommends.
Singers & Performers
Warm up properly, recover after performances, and maintain vocal health with exercises designed for demanding voice use.
Voice Therapy Support
Waiting for speech therapy, practising between sessions, or maintaining gains after discharge. VocalCalm bridges the gap.

Grounded in voice science
Every exercise in VocalCalm is drawn from peer-reviewed speech therapy research. These techniques have been validated across the full spectrum of functional voice disorders — not just MTD.
Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract (SOVT) Exercises
SOVT exercises like straw phonation and lip trills are among the most well-researched voice therapy techniques. Research by Dr. Ingo Titze and others has shown that SOVT exercises reduce vocal fold collision force, lower phonation threshold pressure, and improve vocal efficiency. They are recommended as a first-line intervention for functional voice disorders including MTD.
Vocal Function Exercises (VFE)
Developed by Dr. Joseph Stemple, VFEs are a systematic programme of warm-up, stretching, contracting, and power exercises. Multiple peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated that consistent VFE practice leads to significant improvements in voice quality, vocal range, and laryngeal airway resistance within 4 to 6 weeks.
Resonant Voice Therapy
Resonant voice therapy, developed by Dr. Katherine Verdolini Abbott, focuses on producing voice with minimal effort and maximum vocal fold vibration. Research has shown it is effective for reducing vocal hyperfunction and improving voice quality in patients with functional voice disorders and vocal nodules.
Laryngeal Massage and Relaxation
Circumlaryngeal massage and manual therapy techniques have been shown to reduce extrinsic laryngeal muscle tension and improve voice quality. Studies demonstrate immediate improvements in voice quality following manual therapy, with sustained benefits when combined with behavioural voice therapy.
Breathing and Support
Diaphragmatic breathing is a foundational component of voice therapy. Research consistently shows that improved breath support reduces compensatory laryngeal tension, leading to more efficient and sustainable voice production.
