In recognition of World Voice Day on April 21, 2023, laryngologists and speech-language pathologists at the USF Health Voice Center hosted a unique and engaging event dedicated to helping performers maintain and enhance their voice health.

“World Voice Day is an opportunity to celebrate the voice, the instrument and how we use that in the world,” said Stephanie Watts, PhD, a clinical speech pathologist with the USF Health Voice Center.

The attendees benefited from a range of valuable experiences at the event, including:

  • Free Vocal Cord Screenings: Participants received an assessment of their vocal cords, conducted by USF Health’s expert laryngologists and speech-language pathologists. This allowed attendees to gain insights into their vocal health and receive personalized recommendations.
  • Vocal Seminar: Our USF Health experts led an informative seminar that discussed various aspects of voice health, including proper vocal techniques, vocal hygiene and the prevention and treatment of some common voice disorders.
  • Laryngeal Karaoke: The session provided a fun and interactive activity that showcased the importance of healthy vocal practices while engaging in a spirited, entertaining environment.

“I am so proud of my team for putting this day together . . . when you bring the right people and the right team together, magical things happen,” said Yael Bensoussan, MD, a USF Health Laryngologist and the director of USF Health Voice Center. “I’m really excited that this will become a yearly event for World Voice Day to support our community.”
