Puberphonia

Puberphonia treatment by Dr M Kumaresan 
I find it fascinating in redirecting the phonation from the larynx to the pharynx! It’s definitely a unique approach, and it aligns with the anatomical differences in our respiratory and phonatory systems. The way humans have that vertical and horizontal orientation definitely plays a role in how we produce sound. I think our approach could open up some exciting possibilities for voice treatment and even broader phonation research.
