A Voice Apart

More and more people are inquiring about the difficulty of using their voice, as per normal. There are different factors taking place to prevent people from communicating efficiently and with no difficulty, using their speaking voice . When the voice, sometimes due to a lot of very loud and excessive talking, drops down to its very low position, it begins to sound hoarse and raspy and very low in volume. The person who experiences the above described symptoms is trying to push and pull that voice to the surface and, of course, the more they try, the less results they get. Sometime ago, my voice repair client from Boston who used to play in the Blue Grass band, (before her vocal injury) told me: “Diana, I pushed and pushed my voice, trying to bring it to a normal volume and get rid of the hoarseness, and last August, I knew that I have pushed it for the last time”. By pushing and pulling her voice, not only did she lose her volume almost completely, she a

The world had just heard about the well-known artist,   Sam Smith   who, unfortunately, had to interrupt his Australian tour and reschedule his Japan and UK tours. It must be very disheartening when the singer, especially at his heights, has to interrupt his performances and publicly admit that there is something wrong with his vocal anatomy.  The question is: Could the singer prevent such an occurrence? From where I sit, the answer is yes, he could. The Vocal Science ™ technique , which I developed, suggests to use less of the vocal anatomy and more of the subsidiary anatomy which actually produces more efficiency in the human voice with less, (or not at all), strain on the vocal cords and vocal box in general. The vocal cords could handle only so much pressure of the sound. Therefore, the main objective is to remove the pressure, and thus the pain and strain from the vocal cords, larynx and throat, and then to appoint the facial set of muscles to play

The Non-Surgicalvoice repair course is a very serious endeavor for both the voice sufferer and the voice repair specialist. Needless to say, the voice repair clients come usually upset, frustrated and in a majority of cases, somewhat depressed.   Quite a few of them literally lost they’re speaking and singing careers, or just simply their jobs.   So they do have a very good reason to be upset, and yes, depressed. However, obviously those emotions are not helping the cause. So I have to be a very good psychologist, and in some cases, even a psychiatrist to be able to attend to the vocally troubled person. Obviously, the concept of my methodology is the same for everybody. However, the way I am solving their voice and vocal issues is almost every time different. I compare it with a headache. You can get rid of the headache applying different means, i.e., medical drugs, herbal remedies, deep tissue manipulation massage, or what have you.

“I’m not a reborn Christian, I am a reborn human,” said Karen Gundling, my recent voice repair client from Ottawa, Ontario.  Like many of my other clients, Karen lived with her voice disorder for almost two decades.  She had seen many medical professionals, alternative doctors, and nevertheless, speech therapists. To all of them, she had been complaining about the pain in her throat, her neck and her shoulder, evidently associated with that.  Practically all of them told her that it is “all in her head”.  Only one of the specialists was able to diagnose her with muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) , but like everybody else, he was not able to administrate any kind of treatment which would help Karen to get rid of her nagging pain while speaking.  Needless to say, she was devastated and practically was ready to give up on life.  She is a very vibrant and boisterous person who loves to talk a lot. Some of the so-called medical professionals ordered her to keep silent fo
