In this episode of School of Speech, Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP, is joined by Zeth Collom, PhD, CCC-SLP, for an important conversation about vocal fatigue in teachers. Fifty to eighty percent of teachers experience a voice problem at some point in their careers, and vocal fatigue can affect instruction, confidence, and overall well-being.

Dr. Collom shares key insights from his doctoral research, including teachers’ own perspectives on vocal fatigue and the development of a teacher-specific assessment tool. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of the “tired voice” and learn practical ways to support educators who rely on their voices every day.

About the Guest: Zeth Collom is a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist and assistant professor of speech and hearing sciences at West Texas A&M University. He has worked clinically in various settings across the lifespan, and has presented at multiple regional, national, and international conferences on person-centered care for adults with communication disorders, voice rehabilitation, and professional issues. He is thankful for all teachers and mentors—past and present—who help him grow. Outside of work, he’s your typical musical theatre kid and loves being with his Tweetheart and Schmooie Boy.
