My ‘Voice’ was the reason why I met Sonali Lohar ji.. It so happened that during the travels for one of my shows, my voice was giving me trouble. So , I went to her for treatment. she treated me and I went ahead and gave my performance without any problem. This was the beginning of me knowing Sonali madam and voice clinic, Thane. Later I learnt more about her work and understood her passion and concern for “VOICE” and problems associated with voice- particularly for professional voice users. As an actor and singer, we tend to abuse our voice and voice-box so much, that if timely care is not taken, it can turn out to be extremely dangerous for our profession. What I liked the most about Sonali ma’am is her approach and thought- that make your system of voicing so strong that it would never get damaged no matter what! And true to her words , she has very effective and wonderful exercises developed for actors and singers in her “Voice- therapy” and “Voice Gym” which are tried, tested and appreciated by all her professional clientel. My heartiest best wishes to Sonali ji for her commendable work in the field of VOICE.

I didn’t know there were doctors for “Voice” till one day when due to overwork my voice box gave away and my voice cracked. That was when my friend Viju Mane gave me the reference of Sonali Lohar madam. At the very first meeting itself, madam gave me 3/4 exercises…. along with that she gave me some very enlightening knowledge about Voice, which has proved useful to me till date. Though I was lazy enough to do the exercises ,is a different story. What I learnt is that, right from birth we use our voice-box more than our limbs and legs ,yet it is totally neglected and taken for granted. In Voice clinic, Thane I learnt a great deal about it and how to take care of it. And yes, I’ve yet to meet anyone who is more dedicated and sincere in this field than Sonal ji. So, who ever has a problem with their Voice or are looking for someone to fix it, should visit and meet Sonali madam ,atleast once.

The first cry when I was born was the realisation of my being and this realisation of my voice continued through my exchange of emotions throughout my life. I realised that my words are my constant companions in the journey of my life and the lifeline of my words is my voice, which I had lost and Sonali Lohar Madam helped me regain it. Thanks a ton for giving me my life back..at Voice Clinic, Thane you regain your ‘inner voice’ too!

I had the opportunity of meeting voice therapist Dr. Sonali Lohar through my friend and celebrated ENT Surgeon Dr. Ashesh Bhumkar, when I visited him for a suspected vocal strain. He instantly handed my case over to Dr. Sonali assuring me that I am in good hands.
From the couple of meetings I had with her I can safely say that she possesses a sound understanding of the complete vocal mechanism, an eye for detail, an intuitive mind and a flair for articulation / communication. This rare combination of virtues makes her an excellent voice therapist. Apart from that she is a prolific writer and public speaker for a variety of forums on a variety of subjects which give her a well-rounded perspective of life. Such people never look at any problem as one-dimensional or isolated and hence look out for solutions that are holistic, which augurs well for her patients. She has a bagful of vocal excersises which she skilfully improvises for different individuals according to their specific needs.
Voice therapy as a science is relatively new in India and Dr. Sonali Lohar with her passion & proaction for creating awareness about this science-of-the-voice among the voice-users (singers, actors, speakers…) is undoubtedly one of the torch-bearers in this field.

The Voice is the mouth piece of my soul. And in my business it also feeds me. Am an RJ, Voice artist & an actor. The criticality of the health of my voice was sensed when I almost lost it. That’s when I was introduced to Dr. Sonali by a friend. From the depth of know-how of the Science of Voice to the approach was not only professional but also packed with solid techniques that gave immediate & quality results. Its an area less known but a field that needs top preference. Sonali ma’am’s undying dedication to this science is commendable. Way to go Doc!

Hello. I think voice is the best and super powerful medium of expression the Almighty has endowed to mankind. It is not only a medium but an identity of all of us. Voice can create wonders by its vibrations. The whole universe is created by one and only OMKAAR. But do we really take care of this most powerful tool that we have been gifted? Do we nourish this beautiful medium to flourish our communication skills? I think very rarely we even think about this God’s gift. If one starts thinking about this and finds any sort of difficulty or PROBLEM… Pl take advice (actually it is much bigger than just an advice. . Haha ) of Sonali Lohar ji..A voice doctor. Yess, even I didn’t know that such kind of doctors exists before I met Sonali ji. We actors and voice over artists can’t survive without our voice and Dr. Sonali has got all the solutions n therapies n exercises to make our voice work better. She is a very important faculty in the professional dubbing n voicing course that I conduct. I wish all the success to her and Voice Clinic,Thane. God bless her.

Voice is a precious gift given to us and it needs to be used gently. Neglecting early symptoms of pain, hoarseness can lead to serious trouble. Speech Pathologists are treating such cases successfully. Mrs. Sonali Lohar’s contribution to this field is outstanding. She has treated singers, actors, politicians and many other people. My best wishes to her and blessings for success in promoting Voice Science.

In the hands of Sonali Lohar, a voice is “not just a voice, not just a tool of communication” … her expertise , takes voice to becoming a feature of one’s Health, one’s identity & one’s means of happiness in life. Sonali, by virtue of her passion , intellect and constant quest for knowledge, has the rare clinical ability to quickly” personalize” her analysis of the problem & more importantly, also personalize her management to perfectly fit that patient in that specific phase of the problem. Besides applying the knowledge published in the books, Sonali, due to her vast learned experience, is able to do much more. She has cultivated a scientific art of re-interpreting what the book says. In fact, such is her wisdom that she should write a book on voice management.

I recently had the pleasure and privilege of meeting Sonali regarding voice disorders of my patients who are professional voice users. They were classical and light music singers, lawyers and teachers. The complexities of use of voice in all range and associated life style disorders was very well noted by Sonali in each case. She diagnosed it nicely. Later Sonali provided them with excellent voice therapy, warming up the voice and other voice treatment for maintaining good voice. It is great working with her. I am happy that she is part of GHAISAS ENT HOSPITAL PUNE.

Little did I know about the ‘voice therapy’ until I met Sonali Lohar, an experienced Audiologist and Speech Therapist. With my passion for singing, I sought her help in improving my voice quality. During the sessions I came across Sonali as an affable, astute ,experienced and a complete Voice Specialist. It was really a pleasant, result-oriented and satisfying experience to attend her sessions. Here I came to know as to how attending to her ‘Vocal Gym’ can strengthen the vocal muscles to enhance the voice quality. She has developed a program which if followed religiously would provide you with a confident, impressive and quality voice by removing irritating problems. She has developed a comprehensive
voice training syllabus for her patients for revolutionizing their voices. Equipped with a great blessed Smile and humane understanding, She approaches her ‘patients’ with great sense of responsibility. Her missionary zeal and professional approach pay rich dividends to the patients instantly.

As a ShivSena leader and MLA, I was engaged in various activities which included giving speeches. As a result of which my voice got damaged to such an extent that it was almost inaudible. I went to a Mumbai Hospital, where I got an x-ray done and went again after eight days but my voice wasn’t better. I was worried as I had to travel all over Mumbai and cover major municipalities and Zilla Parishad of Maharashtra and give speeches. Help came in the form of Mr. Milind Narvekar, who referred Voice Clinic, Thane to me. The experience there was very good. There I met Sonali Lohar madam, who gave me excellent treatment and asked me to do various voice exercises…I was astounded that after 50 meetings and many speeches, my Voice was still intact and fine!!I am overwhelmed by Dr. Sonali’s study in this field. her knowledge and research in the field of Ear, Nose and Throat is indeed praise worthy. I would like to thank Sonali Lohar ji and all the staff at Voice Clinic for their timely help and great support.

Until I was operated on my vocal cords, I never was so aware about my voice. Despite me being in a profession where you need to speak, talk , interact with people at all time. Be it on phone, or in studio or in meetings. The surgery could not give me comfort and I met Dr. Sonali Lohar. Again not knowing, that there’s a field existing.. called, Voice Rehabilitation.. and there is something called Voice Therapy . I went through series of sessions. And each session was a journey to know about the faculty called voice therapy . Sonali ji, is a world class professional , and she knows her subject with immense passion and precision. I may not have proved to be the best student of her lessons offered, but I honestly learnt a lot as to how to take care of my voice, and therefore my bread and butter is now ensured. I owe a lot of gratitude to her treatment and patience towards making me speak in a better way on TV Shows…
Mrs. Sonali Lohar has been an asset for the city of Thane . She has done exemplary work as a Voice Therapist. Her ‘Voice Clinic’ is the only Voice Clinic in the entire district of Thane. As a Voice Clinician, she has been involved in conducting voice care workshops and lectures on voluntary basis for teachers and various other professionals thereby giving a major contribution in the healthcare sector. She has conscientiously worked with the Municipal Corporation teachers thereby also bringing about a significant difference in the field of education through her relentless work. A person with many feathers to her cap – l wish her great success and more milestones in the days to come.
