The importance of the human voice cannot be overstated nowadays. There is an increasing number of professionals who depend on their voices to work. The high incidence of voice disorders faced by public education professionals indicated the need for vocal preventive actions. Two groups of educators were analysed in this study after participation in “Vocal Health Groups” coordinated by two speechlanguage pathologists.
