But you have things to say, so what can you do?! The Larynx Lounge is here for you. When dust, deep conversations, and occasional screams of rapture have done a number on your vocal cords, we have what you need. An assortment of electrolarynx machines are available for use in our comfy, shady lounge. Bring your friends and have a monotone robot voice singalong. We also offer smart device technology called The Whisper App. Whisper a soliloquy into our devices with the app, and it’s repeated out loud for all to hear. We offer refreshing iced tea, chai and kombucha, (bring your own cup!), snacks, cough drops, throat sprays, plenty o’ popsicles, chill music and good vibes. Losing your voice is fun.
