Habilitate
Build the foundation before problems occur. Conditioning the throat, vocal folds and breathing mechanism to carry heavy daily load without strain.
Shri VAS Voice Gym — Chennai
Your voice is a muscle.
Train it like one.
India’s first gym built for the voice. Assessment, conditioning and recovery, run by a laryngologist rather than a coach.
- First in India
- Dedicated voice gym
- 7 programmes
- Screening to elite
- 2 locations
- Mylapore & Anna Nagar
An athlete doesn’t wait for an injury to start training. Neither should a voice.
Most people meet a voice specialist only after something has gone wrong — a nodule, a paralysis, a voice that has quietly stopped working. By then the options are narrower and the recovery is longer.
A voice gym inverts that. We measure how your voice actually behaves under load, then build it up before it breaks down. Same principle as physiotherapy, applied to the larynx.

Who runs it
Dr. Raghavi Vishnu Prasanna

- DNB (ENT) Gold Medal
- MRCS (ENT), RCS Edinburgh
- European Board Fellowship in Phoniatrics

Conditioning
Guided sessions on breathing, resonance and muscle release.

Questions
How is this different from voice therapy?
Therapy fixes a problem. A gym also prevents one, and pushes a healthy voice further. Both are available here, and the screen decides which you need.
Do I need a referral?
No. Book a vocal assessment directly.
What is a Phoniatrician?
A medical specialist in voice, speech, language and swallowing disorders. India’s first is the one running this clinic.
Do you treat airway and swallowing too?
Yes. The same centre handles upper airway obstruction, vocal cord dysfunction and dysphagia.
