The management of the COVID-19 pandemic has generated huge changes socially and worldwide. One of these, due to social distancing, has been the incorporation of telepractice to voice therapy in countries where the knowledge of it was very little or there was none. The purpose of this article is to reflect about the usage of telepractice in voice therapy by considering the benefits, barriers and opportunities that emerge from it. The paper also poses that the application of telepractice requires policies, a legislative framework and ethical aspects to ensure a successful voice therapy. Is the telepractice effective? Can it be implemented? What does its appliance require?
