This Journal of Singing article “Vehicular Vocalizing to Start Your Day (JOS, 2019)” was co-authored by speech-language pathologist Mara Kapsner-Smith. It presents a four-tiered system to provide a guideline for singers to prepare their speaking voice at the beginning of the day. The goal is to condition healthy voice production and reduce the potential for voice fatigue. The exercises outlined could be used as daily maintenance before speaking or for anyone experiencing heavy vocal demands.
