Welcome to SLP Nerdcast. We're here today to talk about something that we have really not talked that much about on the podcast. We have maybe one previous episode, one or two previous episodes where we have touched on voice and voice therapy, voice rehab. Uh but today we have the pleasure of welcoming a content expert who is going to push us even further into the voice rehab world. Welcome, Melissa Grazia Chisholm.
I'm so happy to be here. Thank you so much for inviting me. Um, as you know, voice is my passion. My company is the voice rehab. How fitting. Um, so I love all things voice and airway. And we now say upper airway in the ENT voice world. So I'm really excited to share a couple of um tips and tricks for our listeners today.
Thank you so much for sharing your time with us today, Melissa. We're very excited to get started and talk about this topic. Like Kate said, we really haven't had a lot of content on about voice and voice rehab. You're here today, you're gonna talk with us about Diagnosis to therapy, elevating your voice rehab skills. But before we get started, can you tell us and our listeners just a little bit about yourself and your interest in the area of voice and voice therapy?
Sure. So the journey started with my own voice. I've been studying my own voice since I was about 13 years old. Um, I'm a singer first. So learning how to manipulate my own voice has definitely helped in the voice world, but by no means do you have to be a professional singer in order to be an amazing voice therapist. Um, I study My own voice at Berkeley College of Music in Boston, then went on to Adelphi University, where I really got to wear both hats in the voice world of singing, but then take speech pathology classes in undergrad. And I had a professor there that was really into opera, and he would kind of sign off and sneak me into all of those pre-reads. It was awesome. And I was like, this is it.
This is what I'm gonna do. And I went on to Nova Southeastern University down here in South Florida, where I have stayed and really built my career, but it hasn't always just been voice. I really am a medical SLP. I have worked in acute care, I have worked in the rehab setting, home health. Health. private practice and my job before this in corporate health care was being the manager of Cleveland Clinic, which is a hospital. Also, an ENT clinic where I really got to dive deep into the world of voice, where I would assist the laryngologist with all of the vocal cord procedures. I was her endoscopist for all the vocal cord injections and biopsies.
