Abstract
This research examines two "nontraditional" voice-training techniques, Estill Voice and Fitzmaurice Voicework, and their respective uses in voice therapy conducted by American-Speech-Language-Hearing-certified pathologists. The purposes for this study were-- to discover why speech-language pathologists pursue additional certifications in the nontraditional methodologies of Fitzmaurice Voicework and Estill Voice; to determine how these two techniques compare to each other; and, finally, to find out how these techniques are implemented during voice therapy though ethnographic interviews. The researcher interviewed six ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists from around the country. This research highlights alternative methodologies that aid traditional voice therapy techniques in the effort to improve voice therapy.
