Vocology, originally coined by voice scientist Ingo R. Titze [Titze, I. R. (2008). The human instrument. Sci.Am. 298 (1):94-101. PM 18225701] , has been defined as the science and practice of voice habilitation [Carroll, LM. (2000). Application of singing techniques for the treatment of dysphonia. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 33(5):1003-16.

"Preparation of the speech-language pathologist specializing in voice: an educational survey.", J Voice. 15(2):237-50.
