About the Speaker
Dr. Reena Gupta discovered her passion for singing in 7th grade, inspired by her elementary music teacher. She continued to pursue this passion through high school choir and theater, college a cappella, and medical school choir, where she found her calling in Laryngology. Dr. Gupta completed her Otolaryngology residency at NYU School of Medicine and a prestigious fellowship at the American Institute for Voice and Ear Research, becoming one of the few fellowship-trained Laryngologists in the country.
Today, Dr. Gupta is the founder of The Center for Vocal Health in Southern California, the first Laryngologist-led private voice center in the region. She is dedicated to providing the best vocal care for performers, including voice actors, audiobook narrators, pro speakers, and Grammy- and Academy Award-winning artists. Dr. Gupta combines state-of-the-art techniques with a deep understanding of the vocalist’s needs, offering unrushed consultations to uncover and address the root causes of voice issues. She empowers her patients by educating them about their conditions, reducing their need for medication, and helping them achieve vocal longevity.

What People Say
The Orange County School of the Arts has had the privilege of partnering with Dr. Reena Gupta for the past few years in order to provide every high school vocalist on our campus with a detailed vocal health workshop. Through this annual workshop, Gupta has helped educate our young artists about their instrument, various vocal injuries, and vocal injury prevention. She has even brought her equipment to scope instructors so our vocalists could watch vocal folds moving in real time! Her passion for educating the future generations of vocalists is contagious and her knowledge and experience working with vocalists is truly unparalleled. We are so honored to collaborate with her.
Reena is highly appreciated by many voice teachers. Her approach and skills as a presenter are one of the best I've seen! She has a way to capture the audience and organize the content so everyone gains new knowledge and understanding about the voice. I personally learned a lot from her and had the privilege to invite her to speak in multiple events! Highly recommended!
