On The Voice

by Mackenzie Bykowski and Jenna Battipaglia

On The Voice is a podcast for professional voice users navigating vocal injury and recovery. One of us is a voice teacher. One of us is a speech-language pathologist. We’ve both lived through injury, rehabilitation, and reinvention. Each episode brings you raw stories from performers who’ve been there, insight from the doctors and clinicians who treat it, and tools from voice professionals that are changing the way we perceive it. Whether you’re in the thick of recovery, supporting a student, or simply curious about the real life behind the curtain — you’re not alone!
