“there is a growing body of evidence supporting singing as an adjunct therapeutic modality to address voice and speech deficits. Singing has been demonstrated to promote louder voice production than habitual speech production …Moreover, singing may help patients learn to develop and train their respiratory function…Intonation changes, phonation range changes, and improved speech intelligibility have also been demonstrated in the literature …Additional study of larger sample sizes, appropriate dosage, and the use of randomized control trials would strengthen support for singing as a treatment modality”
