A Voice Teacher's Dilemma: Rehab vs Overreach - with Mike Ruckles

What actually happens in a top-tier vocal coach's studio? What is "crack sob" and why is it so common in Broadway belting? What's the deal with voice rehab?
In this episode of This Is A Voice, Gillyanne and Jeremy are joined once again by Mike Ruckles - Broadway vocal coach and Singing Voice Specialist - to explore the fine line between SLPs (SLTs in the UK), ENTs and voice teachers in voice rehabilitation.
From navigating professional boundaries in vocal rehab to decoding the latest Journal of Voice research on "register instability", we're chatting about the world of high-level voice care.
Whether you're a singing teacher, voice professional, or just obsessed with vocal health and performance, this one's a must-watch.
