What if singers stopped thinking of themselves simply as artists... and started thinking of themselves as vocal athletes?
That simple mindset shift has the power to transform not only how singers perform, but how they care for their bodies, protect their voices, and build sustainable careers.
In this inspiring episode of A Voice and Beyond, internationally renowned laryngologist and voice surgeon Dr. Reena Gupta joins me to discuss the future of vocal health and why every singer deserves access to world-class education, preventative care, and a collaborative support team.
As the founder of the Center for Vocal Health and co-founder of The Svara Project, Dr. Gupta has dedicated her career to helping singers, actors, voice actors and professional voice users develop healthy, resilient voices that last a lifetime. Through the Svara Project, she is working to remove barriers to vocal health education, injury prevention, artist advocacy and mental health support so that every voice has the opportunity to thrive.
