Methods to explore and modify adolescents' vocal self-perception in clinical intervention are presented. These methods include an attitudinal questionnaire, procedures for audiotaping and videotaping in vocal self-confrontation, and vocal self-assessment of magnitude change in voice production.

Use of a "behavioral contract" between therapist and student to reduce vocal abuse and excessive vocal use is suggested. (JDD)
