A Voice Apart

We have many people inquiring about various voice disorders; but the most nasty of them I would qualify would be a Spasmodic Dysphonia Disorder– especially for sufferers whose speech (sometimes for man years) had been severely compromised due to that. The above-described voice disorder sufferers have been experiencing uncontrolled spasms in their voice, which sometimes also travels to their vocal anatomy from their chest or even their stomach! I could, perhaps, compare it to some form of epilepsy; and in this case, I personally gave it the name - “vocal epilepsy”. The sufferers of spasmodic dysphonia also often have difficulties in swallowing their saliva, not to mention some foods for that matter. It can be considered a disorder of a neurological nature, but also (and I am quite sure of), it is often emotionally induced. Due to this fact, it manifests in the various organs of one’s physical body; whereas, unfortunately, the human voice is not excluded. ‘Is this disorder curable’ yo...

I have more and more inquiries from people who used to sing for some time in the past; and suddenly, (or at least so they thought), lost their singing range and some of them even lost their singing voice altogether . Needless to say, they had their speaking voice compromised as well. Now they are older and in their 40s, 50s (and counting), they still cannot get a grip on the notion that their love and joy of singing (and proper, coherent speaking) might never be present again...? Nevertheless, quite a few years later after the occurrence, they are still upset and even depressed about it. Of course, they had been through numerous visits to ENT doctors, speech therapists, pathologists and numerous vocal coaches. Unfortunately, in the majority of cases, it did not add up to any tangible, needless to say, expected results. With that said, since they had lost their love and joy to be able to speak or especially to sing effortlessly and painlessly, their lives have never been the ...

We are practicing alternative internal medicine while advocating the assurance of the best speaking/singing voice & nevertheless, non-surgical voice repair. You      Got     This!! Firstly , you, my reader, may wonder why we call Vocal Science the forensic science?  We do so because we are paying a great attention to the minutest details while working on the human voice (speaking or singing - damaged or not).  With our specially-designed speech and singing exercises, we build a, so to speak, “hurricane-proof” foundation for the future “house” to “stand on” and to be “built upon”…   Evidently, broken or not, and first of all the speaking voice (before the singing voice, if required to be worked on) has to be put in balance along with the person’s physical body, mind, and nevertheless the motor skills. To achieve the desired result while building the proper voice application (ultimate voice/vocal technique), especially with respect to ...

Steven Tyler and Aerosmith just announced that, due to his vocal cord damage being permanent (as determined by Doctors), he and Aersomith will now retire from touring and all subsidiary performances.  In September 2023, the well-known rock band (originally formed in the '70s) - "Aerosmith" announced that they were postponing their "Peace Out" Farewell Tour due to Steven Tyler damaging his Larynx. Below please see our take on it at that time:  Not too long ago, we found out that Steven Tyler of Aerosmith had sustained a serious and extensive vocal injury, thus, being forced to  postpone Aerosmith's 50th Anniversary/Farewell Tour.  He had been diagnosed by doctors with a fractured larynx and damaged vocal cords.  In fact, the damaged vocal cords can be quite treatable (especially from where we sit), but a broken larynx can be a more complicated  issue...  Meanwhile, Steven himself and his band, are hoping to resume the above-mentioned tour in the very ne...

Our recent international client Cedric H. (from Paris, France), 38 years old, had suffered from Sulcus Vocalis for 3 years, as nobody was able to rectify it.  That definitely affected his business, as he lost confidence in presentations and never knew when his voice was going to cease.  Here is his testimonial after he had undergone a 40-hour course and natural herbal treatment (conducted by Widely-Renowned Master Voice/Vocal Coach and Non-Surgical Voice Repair Specialist Ms. Diana Yampolsky), which had been delivered to him over 10 consecutive days: “My name is Cedric and I come from France.   I was diagnosed with Sulcus Vocalis about 3 years ago.   Slowly but surely, my voice started to fade off and I called Diana in September because my voice went totally off.  She found space in her busy schedule and I made my way to Canada.  Due to Diana's instruction and treatment, I went from pretty much 20% of a voice to around 90% of a voice, which makes...
