UA Professor Uses Clinical, Music Training to Evaluate Professional Voices
By Christine Palma
An afternoon with Dr. Chris Gaskill’s metal endoscope could save the career of a singer, an actor and even an educator. At UA’s Speech and Hearing Center, Gaskill combines his clinical speech training with a unique background in music to test and treat UA’s most talented voices.
Gaskill is an assistant professor of communicative disorders who has been at UA since fall 2006. He has a doctorate in speech pathology as well as a master’s degree in choral conducting.

He also gave a voice recital and sang with the local opera chorus while in school.
