resonant voice therapy
Also written as: RVT
A voice treatment approach that emphasizes forward resonance and easy phonation to reduce vocal trauma and improve voice quality.
Full Definition
Resonant voice therapy is an evidence-based treatment method that focuses on achieving forward placement of voice resonance while minimizing laryngeal tension and vocal cord collision forces. The technique emphasizes oral vibratory sensations, particularly in the alveolar ridge and lip areas, while maintaining easy, efficient phonation. This approach is particularly effective for treating vocal hyperfunction disorders and reducing the risk of vocal fold lesions.
Usage
Usage note: May be abbreviated as RVT. Requires specialized training in the technique for effective implementation.
