June 24, 2014 #19 Vocal Health for Sport Coaches
Russell Hoye talks to Katie Buckley, (lecturer and phd candidate at La Trobe University and a vocal health consultant) about voice and vocal health for coaches.

Given coaches rely so heavily on effective vocal communication, healthy voice is essential. However, if voice is not performing at its best, a coach may not be either.
