Have you ever felt like there was something off about your voice? You may have felt like your voice had a raspy, hoarse-sounding quality. You may have experienced a lump-like feeling within your throat as you tried to speak and/or sing. In extreme cases, you may be suffering from problems like throat pain, lack of voice control (tone, projection, pitch), and even partial (or full) voice loss.
Any of the above-indicated problems may be the result of vocal damage.
How does vocal damage occur?
Vocal damage can be caused by a wide variety of reasons such as:
● Voice misuse or overuse (shouting, screaming, or using the improper vocal technique).
● Unhealthy habits (Drinking too much alcohol, smoking, etc)
● Over-consumption of certain foods (highly acidic foods or dairy products)
● Inadequate environment (breathing in dust, second-hand smoke, etc)
The Changes One Must Make in Order to Treat Vocal Damage
In order to rectify these issues, the person must be willing to change any and all of the above-mentioned destructive habits. This will help with regards to maintaining a healthier body and lifestyle, which will, in turn, provide a foundation for a healthy voice.
