Vocal Injury … The pain could be inevitable, but the suffering should be optional.

“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 for six months!! Needless to say, I had quite a few cases like Karen’s in the past. 

In brings out the memory of my former client, George L., a real estate agent from Los Angeles, California, who went through the similar ordeal.  Nobody could tell him also what was wrong with him and every treatment George took around the world would make his sufferings with his voice worse than before. 

And he needed to speak for a living! 

Twenty minutes into my first session, George had tears in his eyes and said to me, “I’m honored to be in the same room with such a specialist like you”.

Four days later, George left very happy with his voice completely recovered. The fact is, that from the medical doctors’ and the alternative practitioners’ point of view, “there is nothing wrong” with such patients like my two clients described above. 

Why, you my reader, may ask …

Because the problem, one more time again, is mechanical. 

None of the doctors know how to fix the mechanics of voice, i.e. recover it from the neck and chest muscles; structure it and place it in the sinus (facial) cavities; and how to create the support of the sound from the lower and upper abdominal muscles; and how to integrate and synchronize those muscles to work simultaneously with each other. 

The description of the Vocal Science Method is such that it requires the synchronicity and synergy between mental, physical, emotional and vocal components. 

If that doesn’t happen, the voice repair will never be accomplished. 

If that wholesome mechanism which allows the voice to work in its fullest capacity possible –   with no pain or strain on the vocal anatomy – is not established, the voice, speaking or singing, will never have a healthy sound and always will be prone to some kind of injury. 

With that mechanism in place, the speaker or singer will also be able to comply with standards of professional speaking or singing, and nevertheless, preserve their recovered voices for their lifetime.
