To find out what they are, Please Read On... Due to this digital and very chemically polluted world, we are receiving more and more inquiries about various vocal disorders which people experience on a day by day basis.  Our fruits and vegetables are chemically altered and our chickens (for example) are double-sized, due to be fed and raised with hormones and antibiotics.  All of the above weakens our immune systems and makes us susceptible to all kinds of diseases; and unfortunately, cancer is one of them. Almost on an everyday basis, we are hearing about peoples’ thyroids being removed (usually due to cancer); and then, as a result of that, one (or even both) vocal cords  become paralyzed ! Also, people who have their regular diets consisting of a lot of fat, mucus and acids, could get a problem with the excess of gastric acid in their bodies, which could produce what’s called acid reflux; and which, in turn, may burn ones’ vocal cords and (on top of it) restrict the pers

More and more, I am getting requests to have a video chat ( Skype , FaceTime , WeChat and what have you) with my prospective clients who, on top of it, asking for some tips on how to fix their speaking and singing voices…? ?? + ?? Nevertheless, some of them have pretty serious voice/vocal disorders . One of them very recently told me about his excessive acid reflux , which (almost on the root) ruined his singing voice. --- This is a direct quote from his e-mail: “2 years ago my voice would crack on low notes, and now today I have some good days, but still not 100%   I went last month and had my throat looked at.   He said he seen scared tissue, and 2 pin drop nodules at top and bottom of my vocal cords.   Also he said I had a lot of mucus on my cords.” “I am reaching out for any tips you can help out with on full recovery, retraining the vocal cords to be stable on all notes.” --- So this person (and any other people for that matter) truly believes that

Vocally speaking - Part 2: Will you go to a car body shop to fix your car engine or any mechanical parts, for that matter?

It just happened to me…. I got hit by a Dear! I have to say that it was a very strange experience, to say the list! I have not seen it coming… What I saw, was a deer’s face in my windshield! It came out of the blue, so to speak. It was just after 10 pm and I was driving at a speed of only 56 km! Thank God that I got a speeding ticket 2 days earlier, lol, Otherwise I possibly would be going much faster and thus, the impact of my collision with the deer could have been much more serious. So my car (which I managed to drive home somehow) ended up being damaged for over $11.000!   To my surprise, the body shop, where the car was towed, said that they will take care of everything, mechanics included. Now, 2 weeks later, they called me and told me that they were unable to fix the engine! Go figure! So they had to ship my car to a Volkswagen dealership after all! Now, at least it makes sense! The body shop is the shop meant to fix the body of the car and the dealership is responsibl
