A voice/vocal disorder may cause you to feel weak and tired, causing you to become unable to speak or sing with proper clarity and conviction. An unhealthy voice may sound raspy, hoarse, husky or even squeaky. In this situation, if not properly rectified, your voice can be prone to more serious conditions like sulcus vocalis, strained vocal cords, muscle tension dysphonia, vocal cord nodules, polyps, lesions, cysts, just to name a few…
In such cases, vocal surgery may seem to be a viable solution, although, it should not be the first option. Surgical intervention to the human voice has high risks that could lead to complications such as further vocal damage and even complete voice loss. With that said, there are also alternative forms of speech therapy that can be conducted non-invasively. Alternative voice therapy also adheres to the same goal as general speech therapy - to help you improve and build a strong healthy clear voice that meets and even exceeds your speaking/singing capabilities.
What is a voice disorder?
There are mainly two types of voice disorders with different causes and symptoms:
1) Behavioral voice disorders mainly arise from abuse or misuse of the vocal mechanism (vocal cords/voice box). Individuals with high vocal demands like singers, teachers and actors are very susceptible to straining their voice/vocal anatomy, thus causing damage to their vocal box which will negatively affect the sound of their voice.
2) Organic voice disorders arises from problems with vocal physiology (vocal cords/voice box physical incapability). Any kind of damage to the nerves or soft tissues related to the vocal box makes your voice sound abnormal, causing speech/singing difficulty which results in the sufferer not being able to use their voice(s) to their full potential…or (in some cases) not at all. Degenerative neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease are commonly accompanied by such voice disorders.
Treatment through voice therapy.
If you have a voice disorder, it is always a good idea to visit an ENT specialist to determine if there are any medical factors that need to be treated for said therapy to be successful. Alternative voice therapy ranges widely according to the speaker's voice diagnosis. While committing to alternative voice therapy instruction and treatments, your voice specialist will be able to teach you new techniques to increase your vocal power without straining your vocal anatomy.
