Abstract enVocal training is a type of education that develops good habits in using one’s voice for effective and correct use while speaking and singing. From a medical perspective, the discovery and development of new technologies have contributed to our understanding of the makeup of the human voice. By means of these tools, a host of new frontiers have been opened in the knowledge and therapy of voice. One of these treatment methods is vocal training (voice therapy). It is very important that people who experience vocal problems need to see an ear, nose and throat specialist first, and, if need be, to apply for a vocal education with the advice of the specialist. Problems experienced should not be ignored or else serious and invasive operations may be required, and irreversible negative results may arise. Some of the discomforts that may be experienced due to the incorrect use of voice by people who apply it for professional performances are: vocal cord nodules, vocal cord cysts, vocal cord polyps, etc. To avoid such discomforts from the beginning, one should learn the correct use of the voice; hence, it would be appropriate to receive vocal training. In case desired results are not achieved by vocal training, it is very important to try alternative medical strategies for people’s vocal health. People who receive proper vocal education would protect themselves from the potential vocal problems discussed in this article, and they would be able to perform at the highest level in professions for which the voice is intensely used. This study presents the reasons that vocal training is necessary from both the artistic and medical perspectives.
