Dr. Aaron Johnson is my colleague at the NYU Voice Center; he is a PhD speech-language pathologist and a voice scientist. He studies the relationship of exercise physiology to the voice, and the mechanics and athletics of the human voice. We discuss how to get back in shape vocally after a long time off, at this unique time in our history. As vocal performers start to return to training, rehearsals, and performance after so much time off, it can be difficult to know where to start and how to begin. We discuss the interplay of anatomy and function in a busy performing voice, and how to think about mobilizing and taking care of both of those, in our re-entry into live performance.
