Hello Researchers,
I am keenly interested to know about the different voice therapy techniques, used by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) to enhance the efficient use of resonatory sub-system of elite professional voice users like singers.
Please suggest and refer me to the review pieces of literature or research studies available specific to singers.
Thank You!

Thank you for your suggestion Suresh Thontadarya Sir.
As LMRVT is a certified technique, I guess we would use steps from Dr. Stemple's RVT. Do you suggest any modifications to be made to this general RVT technique to make it more specific to singers?
Or would you suggest any other resonance enhancing therapy technique available in the literature, if any, specific to singers' vocal resonance?
in RVT , i guess you would be using, straw exercises/ semi occluded based exercises in some form...
then thats quite comprehensive.
probably use of glides/ tongue trills in exercises may help too.
Increasing breath support is also important,
i would only offer that an extension of pitch and intensity range be increased for singers doing RVT or LMVRT, depending on the requirements of the repertoire being sung, to maximize flexibility, facility, and expressive tools.
Resonance strategies for blending registers can be found in Donald Miller's work (https://www.singingvoicescience.com/about-dr-miller), Registers in Singing, Empirical and Systematic Studies in the Theory of the Singing Voice (https://pure.rug.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/31564196/D.G.Miller.pdf) for information on how various voice types function (soprano, mezzo, tenor, bass, etc.)
Thank you for sharing your insights sir, David Playfair . The resonance shifts described in Systematic Studies in the Theory of the Singing Voice are very percipient. However, in Indian classical singing, we do not abide by any voice classifications or types.
