• a description of what happens during a visit to the voice doctor
• a chapter on the origins of the most common type of vocal strain

Finding Your Voice blends the author's understanding of Western medicine and Eastern energy systems. With this book in hand, you can avoid misusing or abusing your voice — or make your way back to vocal health if you do.
