Vocal Scarring in Professional Speakers

When people think about vocal performers, they usually think of singers and actors. Singers and actors use their voices athletically, with maximal use of range, volume, articulation, and emotion.

Conversely, professional speakers may not come to mind when thinking of vocal performers. An extensive literature search resulted in articles referencing vocal challenges in singers, actors, teachers... telemarketers! But none that described the vocal challenges of public speaking.
