abstract = {Effective oral communication skills are essential to ensure optimal teaching while preserving the teacher's vocal health. Training these skills in representative settings is expected to promote their generalization. Since the implementation of such training in actual school situations is challenging, virtual reality (VR) may represent a solution.This study evaluated the effects of VR simulations on trainee teachers’ oral communication skills. Based on our Theoretical Framework for Teachers’ Vocal Behavior, we developed and empirically assessed a voice-related prevention program including noisy communicative situations in a virtual classroom. In a randomized controlled trial, the participants were assigned to one of two conditions: (1) individual voice training including simulations in the virtual classroom and a group information session (experimental group},
