The aim of this invention is to provide a voice therapy and vocal training device which aids in carrying out many features together (all-in-one) such as performing voice trainings, humidification of vocal folds, and being used as an inhalation and a spray device. The voice therapy and vocal training device of the invention prevents water from going down the user's throat during inhalation thanks to its special design. Also disclosed is an oral mask which is able to be used with the voice therapy and vocal training device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A voice therapy and vocal training device which simultaneously humidifies vocal folds and enables training of the vocal folds, comprising: a water bottle; a multi-pass cap fitting a mouth of the water bottle; at least one phonation inlet connected to the multi-pass cap to allow blowing practices, wherein a length of the phonation inlet is in a predetermined proportion to that of a vocal tract of a user, a plurality of lines indicating cut-levels for different users on the phonation inlet, wherein when the multi-pass cap is fitted onto the mouth, the phonation inlet passes through the mouth and extends into liquid contained in the water bottle without contacting with a bottom of the water bottle; and at least one inhalation outlet connected to the multi-pass cap to allow exhalation practices and direct humid air being drawn from the water bottle to the vocal folds. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, wherein the phonation inlet and the inhalation outlet are made of silicone, glass, plastic or silicone based durable materials. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, wherein the phonation inlet and the inhalation outlet are made of styrene-butadiene block copolymer, random copolymer, polypropylene, polysulphone, polycarbonate, rigid PVC, rigid PET, rigid silicone materials, or at least one material that is chosen from a group that is formed from the mixtures thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, wherein the phonation inlet and the inhalation outlet which are detachable to the water bottle are made of PET, plastic or glass. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, wherein a neck of the water bottle is made of PET, plastic or glass. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, further comprising at least one bubbling end, which is provided at the phonation inlet's end that is inserted in the liquid and which has a protrusive structure for creating bubbles after the user blows air. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 6, wherein the bubbling end has an oblique cut. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, further comprising at least one bubbling hole provided at the phonation inlet's end. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, wherein measuring lines are located on an outer surface of the phonation inlet as water level marks which allow the user to determine an amount of the liquid to be poured into the water bottle. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, further comprising a neck strap hole having a circular shape that can be attached to a rope. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, wherein the inhalation outlet enables inhalation of herbal products, essences, and medical products that are added into the liquid together with humidified air. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, wherein a tube which increases back pressure is provided inside the phonation inlet by means of being engaged to the phonation inlet's end which is inserted into the liquid. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, further comprising note-shaped holders to seal off the phonation inlet and the inhalation outlet. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 1, further comprising an oral mask connecting with the phonation inlet, wherein the oral mask further includes an egg-shaped body having a resonance cavity, a hyperbolic outlet located at one end of the egg-shaped body for connection with the phonation inlet, and a mouthpiece located at the other end of the egg-shaped body for perioral fixation. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The voice therapy and vocal training device according to claim 14, wherein the resonance cavity is provided with spiral indentations on an inner wall of the egg-shaped body.
