THE POWER OF A CERTIFIED VOCOLOGIST
OVERVIEW
WHY VOCOLOGY?
The voice is an instrument—and like any instrument, it works best when it is understood, cared for, and used efficiently.
Marjorie’s graduate certificate in Vocology gives her specialized knowledge in voice science and evidence-based approaches to help singers develop healthy, efficient vocal techniques. She works with singers to build vocal strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance while helping reduce the risk of vocal injury.
Her training also allows her to develop individualized vocal-care strategies that support long-term vocal health and sustainable performance.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
"For years, I knew something wasn’t quite right with my voice,
but I couldn't really pinpoint what was off.
During my first lesson, Marjorie heard something in my voice that prompted her to recommend an ENT evaluation, which eventually led me to voice therapy. That process uncovered issues I had been struggling with for years and helped me unlock a freedom in my singing I hadn’t experienced before. I’m incredibly grateful for Marjorie’s expertise as both a voice teacher and vocologist and for recognizing that I needed more than just another singing technique.”

VOCOLOGY
A vocologist is someone who studies the voice—how it functions, how to improve it, and how to keep it healthy. Marjorie is a certified vocologist who has studied evidence-based vocal science focused on helping the voice work efficiently and effectively.
Marjorie applies these scientific principles to both singing and speaking, a process known as vocal habilitation. Vocal habilitation includes:
- Maintaining vocal health
- Building and enhancing vocal skills
- Promoting best practices for performers
At the heart of vocal habilitation is one central theme: taking care of the voice. Marjorie emphasizes good vocal hygiene
—daily habits that help keep the vocal folds strong, flexible, and healthy, so you can consistently perform at your best. Marjorie earned a graduate-level certificate in Vocology from Lamar University with a 4.0 GPA. Her coursework included:
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Speech & Voice Science
- Acoustics
- Instrumental Analysis
- Voice Pedagogy
She is currently the only private voice teacher in the state of Alabama who is a Certified Vocologist. As part of her services, Marjorie may accompany students (and a parent) to ENT doctors or allergists. This allows her to share specific vocal concerns directly with medical professionals, providing accurate context and easing the burden on families. If she can’t attend, Marjorie prepares a detailed report and, with written consent, can consult directly with the physician before or after the appointment.
Marjorie also collaborates with Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) who specialize in voice therapy. Many vocal issues—especially those caused by misuse, fatigue, or injury—can significantly improve with targeted therapy and consistent at-home exercises.
