Vocal Health

Welcome to What’s Up Docs?, the podcast where doctors and identical twins Chris and Xand van Tulleken tune in to the ideas shaping our health and wellbeing. In this episode, they turn their attention to the voice. Where does it come from, why do we all sound so different, and how much can we really change it? They also explore what we should be doing to take care of our voices. To help them strike the right note, they’re joined by voice specialist and speech and language therapist, Lydia Hart.

(The voice section starts about 4 minutes into the episode)
