A voice-specialist SLP shares the intake questions, handicap indexes and rating scale she uses on every singer, plus the cases that fooled her.

Anna Siciliano brings the clinic's intake process to the singing studio. You will learn the case-history questions she asks every new voice patient, how the Voice Handicap Index and Singing Voice Handicap Index reveal severity, and how to apply the GRBAS scale to rate grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia and strain before you ever diagnose. Then she plays real voices and reveals the scope findings, including subglottic stenosis missed by an ENT, a vocal fold hemorrhage she misjudged, overuse nodules in a working opera singer, and leukoplakia. Practical guidance on referral, teachers who overuse their voices, and building a treatment team around your singers.
