Dr. Robert Sataloff has devoted his professional career to the care and treatment of the voice. He was a professional singer and singing teacher before he began his medical career. Dr. Sataloffs dedication to the voice stems from his personal love and active involvement in singing and vocal pedagogy. His medical and scientific interests in the voice developed during his residency as his musical colleagues solicited his medical advice. Much to his surprise, he learned that there was not much written about the care of the voice, especially aspects of the singers voice. So he pursued a fellowship in otology knowing how important the ear is to the voice. While completing that fellowship his interest in voice surged to a point that he chose to pursue the study of voice with such a force that he has become the most prolific writer of voice books for laryngologists, speech-language pathologists and voice teachers. In 1977, he began attending the meetings of the Voice Foundation in New York City. His enthusiasm grew until he focused his primary interest in the development of new approaches for medical surgical and behavioral management of voice disorders. With the support and influence of people such as Drs. Wilbur J. Gould, Friederic Brodnitz, Hans von Leden, and Paul Moore, among others, he combined his love for the voice and his medical practice into a premier center for the care of professional singers and other vocal performers from all over the world. His clinical practice and pursuit of knowledge led him to publish his first paper on professional singers in 1981 entitled, Professional Singers: The Science and Art of Clinical Care and the first chapter on modern voice care in an otolaryngology textbook in 1986. He eventually became Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Voice Foundation in 1989 where he has since championed the need for interdisciplinary voice care through the annual Symposium on Care of the Professional Voice sponsored by the Voice Foundation and the monthly publication of the Journal of Voice of which he is currently Editor-in-Chief.
Gifted as a surgeon and skilled in the art of expression, whether it be through his singing or his lecturing, Dr. Sataloff has taken the humble beginnings of the Voice Foundation and has made its influence felt around the world by physicians, speech-language pathologists, singing teachers, and vocal performers of all types from reggae to opera and from rap poets to the highest profile public speakers. In addition, Dr. Sataloff has trained many of the most influential laryngologists who specialize in the care of the professional voice. A cursory review of any program from the Voice Foundations Symposium on Care of the Professional Voice attests to his influence in all aspects of voice care.
