German singing teacher Alfred Wolfsohn developed the basis of voice therapy in the 1920s and 1930s. When he died in 1962, Roy Hart, a South African actor and student of Wolfsohn, continued his work. The technique is most widely practiced in the UK and France.

Practitioners claim that the speed, tone, rhythm, and pitch of the voice provide vital clues to a person's mental, physical, and emotional health. Piano notes are used to help you expand the vocal and emotional range of your sounds. Emphasis is placed on exploring cries and screams as well as sighs and whispers: this is said to have a profound psychological effect and increase vocal expression. Voice therapy can help people deal with emotional barriers and vocal problems, such as stammering. Treatment may be 4-12 individual hour long sessions, or group workshops over a week or weekend. Most doctors see voice therapy as an acceptable way to help self-expression, relaxation, and vocal flexibility.
