Question 1

Accepted Answer

Voice: Is it shaky when you talk ever? Do your hands shake when eating or using your hands? This could be essential tremor....Also could be spasmodic dysphonia. Recommend seeing an ENT or neurologist. Low down on list though common would be anxiety disorder....All depends on pattern and symptoms as well as exam.

Question 3

Rest, hot liquids: Voice rest is usually the best remedy for overly strained vocal chords. Hot liquids also relax and soothe the tissues.  I have also found a homeopathic spray, otc called singer's saving grace to be helpful.  Good luck.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Be careful: As soon as possible, you will need to see an ENT doctor who has a strong interest in voice.   Ent needs to visualize your vocal cords to determine if there are any nodules or lesions that may be affecting the quality of your voice.  It is possible you could make your singing and talking voice worse if you don't seek a medical opinion 1st. If it is simple laryngitis, there are ways to get you ready.

Question 6

is my singing voice going to be okay? do i have a vocal nodule or just need more rest? i love to sing and lately i have really been using my singing voice more frequently. last week i was singing rolling in the deep by adele and all the sudden, on the lou

Accepted Answer

Sudden : Sudden losses of the voice may be due to a hematoma (a collection of blood) in or on the vocal cord.  Small blood vessels can rupture from vocal abuse like yelling, singing, coughing, etc.  Treatment is controversial.  Some feel that small hematomas can be treated with voice rest.  Others feels that they lead to scarring of the cord or growths called polyps and they should be managed surgically.  Other causes of voice loss and hoarseness include muscle tension dysphonia (the muscles around the larynx are over stimulated and the muscles are tense) and vocal nodules (callus-like growths on the cords).  If your voice does not improve, then you should be seen by an otolaryngologist (ent).

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Lozenges : Stay well hydrated, and try some sort throat lozenges. Try to breathe through your nose, and talk as little as possible. Hopefully you will be better in time for your singing event. Hope this helps!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Gifts: We all have gifts. If you want to sing, do it, have fun and share what gifts you have with others.

Question 9

about 2 weeks ago i couldn't stop coughing and getting fevers. now my singing voice has changed and everything i sing my voice cracks. how do i fix it?

Accepted Answer

Rest your voice: You probably have some inflammation of your vocal cords. I would rec. Resting your voice for at least two weeks-- no singing. If you sound hoarse when talking, then rest it with speaking also. Whispering actually makes it worse, so just write or text. If you still hear cracking after two weeks, see your doctor for an exam of your vocal cords.

Question 10

doc. when i was of fifteen years my voice is suddenly chage nd become hard.before fifteen my voice is high nd high range nd i can not able to sing now?

Accepted Answer

Male adolescence: Before a boy reaches puberty, his larynx is pretty small and his vocal cords are kind of small and thin. ... But as he goes through puberty, the larynx gets bigger and the vocal cords lengthen and thicken, so his voice gets deeper.
