When a professional singer (or just any voice user) complains about vocal problems, the reason may be that they are suffering from either vocal cord strain or vocal disorder which is known as Muscle Tension Dysphonia.
What is Muscle Tension Dysphonia?
Muscle tension dysphonia is the technical term for stressful or strenuous overuse of the voice, resulting in vocal dysfunction. Over time, untreated MTD may lead to loss of vocal range and throat pain while performing.
What are the symptoms of MTD?
Symptoms of MTD can vary, however the following changes may be observed:
Evaluation of MTD
To determine if you are suffering from MTD, you need to visit a voice specialist for a proper evaluation. The voice specialist possess specialized and focused training that is necessary for the comprehensive evaluation of one’s voice condition.

The most common treatment for MTD is voice therapy. This alternative form of therapy is a specially designed program that will reduce hoarseness, raspiness and other nasty symptoms associated with such disorders. That can be accomplished via guided changes and not only in vocal behavior, but also by adapting a healthy lifestyle.
