Vocal Science™ - Way to go…! Voice to go! (Strained Vocal Cords, Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) or Spasmodic Dysphonia).

Strained Vocal Cords, Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) or Spasmodic Dysphonia for that matter... Is there a connection between them? Strained vocal cords - a serious voice problem that could lead to various, more serious voice disorders like Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) or even  Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD). What causes strained vocal cords in the first place? Overuse and misuse of one's voice; speaking very loudly, screaming, yelling and forcing the voice to its maximum capacity. Vocal Strain is also likely to present itself due to professional and occupational hazards, naturally affecting certain professionals - like teachers, fitness instructors, worship leaders at churches, lawyers, politicians etc. Also, it affects those who, for example, choose to participate in various chorus groups and big gatherings. In addition, radio and TV personnel, voice-over actors, as well as public speakers - due to the nature of their professions, are also greatly affected

From our side, a Holistic Approach to Rectifying all of the above and more! Now, with over 36 years of business, we thought that we had seen it all. As it appears to be, the above is actually not the case. In the previous years, we had never seen people who have no control whatsoever of their physical bodies; nor we had seen people who absolutely do not know English phonetics. We do see a majority of clients who are entering our establishment and who developed very bad habits over the years; especially while trying to conduct their physical body with obvious inability to “walk and chew the gum at the same time” in a manner of speaking. The fact is that the Vocal Science™ method and its very unique vocal technique requires the person to use certain body movements while walking and talking (or singing) at the same time.   Also, a lot of our clients, especially those with speaking voice problems, possess the wrong formation of the words to begin with. While pronouncing certain

Have Problems with the Singing Voice…? Considering Speech Therapy to rectify it?

Please think again!! Needless to say that, over three and a half decades of my voice and voice repair business, I have been getting a lot of calls where I was asked if I am a registered speech therapist and if I accept insurance which would cover  speech therapy and speech pathology . A majority of those inquirers had already been through numerous conventional ENT doctors and speech therapists. Nonetheless, according to them and throughout my observations, they had never achieved any tangible results which them, or me, for that matter, could account for.   After their quite-negative experience, they decided to look for something else - like an alternative form of speaking and/or singing voice therapy. However, while trying to embark on the above-mentioned matter, they still wanted to derive conventional benefits…?  It is peculiar, isn’t it, my reader? I usually tell them that “when something does not work, try something else. It might work better”. But pleas

The Causes and Consequences of Voice/Vocal Repair Matters:

Image
- My close observations and beliefs. - For at least a decade, about 90 percent of people have been coming through our doors to conquer not only a voice repair but, as experience shows, first and foremost, to acquire a new and improved lifestyle… Our Toronto prominent newspaper, The Toronto Star , once said - “ It is not for the faint of heart ”.  And I would add that it is also not for people who will be expecting change without change, so to speak. If those who are seeking help are not willing to open up and tell us their true story, then it would be very difficult to offer them the lifestyle modification -   and thus the successful results of their voice problems and issues. I’ve said it numerous times that the human voice is an expression of the state of one’s being and the identification of who that person really is…  The voice on its own is a “ tool” for communication and, needless to say, that if that very “tool” is broken, the communication also s

The Vocal Science™ Method: Non-Surgical Approach - Holistic Diagnostics.

Natural and Alternative Treatments and Rehabilitation for most Voice Problems, Vocal Issues and Voice Disorders. Over 36 years, the estimated amount of speech/singing students and voice repair clients who passed through our doors is now over 25,000 and counting... Lately, though, our business, which once was mostly known for its professional voice/vocal coaching, became 90 percent about Non-Surgical Voice Repair . Why is that; you, my reader, may ask? Because people nowadays became extremely stressed, thus totally out of balance; and moreover, effected by losing their employment, their trade, their purpose in life and, given all of the above, their relationships and marriages, to put it mildly. Due to all of these, those people (in general) acquire a dysfunctional thyroid - which, in holistic teaching, represents suppressed emotions….  Also,   some of them, due to anger they’ve adopted because of the unforeseen situations, developed a problem with their liver - wh
