  OBJECTIVE
  To describe the interfering factors in the vocal rehabilitation of five individuals with Parkinson disease and to present the modifications in the oral communication.
  
  
  METHODS
  Interviews and pre and post vocal treatment assessments were carried out using the Lee Silverman Voice treatment method (LVSTO).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Articulation improvement was observed, as well as improvements in the vocal loudness and quality, generating satisfaction among the patients and family.
