The Visceral Voice Podcast

What if the challenges you are experiencing in your voice are not just physical?In this conversation, I sit down with Mike Zhao to explore the deeper relationship between the brain, body, and voice. Mike brings a unique perspective, integrating biomechanics, clinical psychology, and neurobiology to understand how we move, respond, and express.We talk about how emotional experiences live in the body, how the nervous system shapes movement and voice, and why focusing on technique alone often leaves singers feeling stuck. This conversation opens the door to a more complete understanding of voice work, one that includes not just structure, but state, perception, and lived experience.If you have ever felt like you are doing everything “right” but something still is not clicking, this episode offers a different lens.Mike Zhao has been a biomechanics specialist since 2016 and has developed an interdisciplinary clinical model that integrates contemporary psychoanalysis with advanced movement rehabilitation through the common language of neurobiology and systems theory. He is a credentialed clinician of the Postural Restoration Institute and holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University.This episode is an invitation to expand how you think about the voice, not just as something you produce, but as something that reflects your entire system.Support the show

Respiratory training devices are becoming more common in voice and performance spaces. I do not use them in my personal or professional practice, which is why I was interested in learning more. What you see in this episode is essentially my first time working with a respiratory muscle training device in this context.In this episode, I sit down with Katelyn Swiader, M.S.Ed. CCC SLP, a speech language pathologist with a background that bridges clinical voice work and performance. Katelyn received her Master of Science in Education from Old Dominion University and her Bachelor of Music from George Mason University. She holds her Certificate of Clinical Competency through ASHA and is a member of SIG 3, focusing on voice and upper airway disorders.Katelyn has worked across pediatric and adult populations in schools, hospitals, outpatient settings, and private practice. She is also the founder of Sound Waves VC, where she brings together her work in speech pathology, voice, and communication to support individuals in reaching their goals as speakers and performers. Alongside her clinical work, she has performed professionally, taught voice, and continues to work with individuals on developing more compelling and effective communication.Together, we explore respiratory training devices, what they are designed to do, and how they are currently being used. This conversation offers perspective on their potential role within a broader approach to breathing and voice work.As you listen, consider your own context. The body is not one size fits all, and tools that influence airflow and pressure require awareness of how each individual system organizes and responds.This episode is intended to open inquiry rather than provide definitive answers. It is an opportunity to listen, reflect, and continue developing your own clinical or personal lens when working with the breath and voice.This conversation is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

In this episode of the Visceral Voice Podcast, Christine Schneider is joined by physical therapist, educator, and Applied Integration Academy co-founder Mike Cantrell for a wide-ranging conversation on dentistry, neurology, respiration, and whole-body organization.Together, they explore how straight teeth do not always equal a well-organized system, and how focusing on teeth alone without considering the cranium, spine, nervous system, and airway can lead to unintended consequences throughout the body.Mike shares his professional journey, beginning with his realization that orthopedic pain is often a symptom rather than a root cause. He explains how his work led him to understand the central role of neurology and respiration in movement and healing, and ultimately to recognize the unique and often underappreciated power dentists hold in influencing whole-body function.The conversation examines why modern faces and palates are becoming narrower, including the impact of dietary changes, reduced chewing demands, and early oral restrictions such as tethered oral tissues. Christine and Mike discuss how feeding, sucking, swallowing, and tongue function in infancy shape craniofacial development and set the stage for future airway and postural organization.They dive deeply into orthodontics, addressing why moving teeth is always possible, but why the timing and context matter. Mike explains how aligning teeth on a crooked cranium and asymmetrical body can disrupt neurology and proprioception, often contributing to symptoms such as headaches, migraines, dizziness, TMJ dysfunction, and unresolved musculoskeletal pain long after braces are removed.A major theme of the episode is the role of teeth as neuro proprioceptive organs. When teeth are straightened without addressing cranial and body patterns, they can falsely signal stability to the nervous system, preventing the body from adapting, rotating, and grounding efficiently. This has implications not only for movement and pain, but also for breathing, balance, and vocal function.Christine brings the conversation into the voice, highlighting how dental work, tongue position, and occlusion directly influence airway regulation, pressure management, and sound production. Mike explains how dentists, myofunctional therapists, and body based practitioners can profoundly affect vocal efficiency by influencing neurology above and below the vocal folds.The episode closes with a call to collaboration. Christine and Mike emphasize the need for practitioners across disciplines to communicate, build teams, and educate themselves beyond their silo. They underscore the importance of continuing to share this work through teaching, research, podcasts, and clinical care so that performers, voice professionals, and patients are supported by science informed, compassionate systems.Topics covered include • The role of dentistry in neurology and whole body regulation • Why orthopedic pain is often a symptom rather than a cause • Cranial compliance, patterning, and its relationship to teeth • How orthodontics can impact headaches, dizziness, and posture • Teeth as neuro proprioceptive organs • The relationship between occlusion, grounding, and movement • Tethered oral tissues and early development • Airway regulation, tongue function, and voice production • Interdisciplinary collaboration for long term health and resilienceIf this conversation resonated, consider sharing it with a colleague or leaving a review to help others find this work.To learn more about Christine’s courses, programs and events, visit www.thevisceralvoice.comAre you willing and able to become a Supporter of The Visceral Voice Podcast to help keep this podcast running?
