What Happened to Miley Cyrus' Voice? What is Reinke's Edema?

[@artmanjohn2]

Another singer from an older generation, Julie Andrews, who was known for her beautiful voice, had surgery in 1997 to have a cyst removed from her vocal chords and lost her singing voice permanently as a result of the surgery! I can't imagine what it was like for her. I've read it was devastating for her and made her extremely depressed.

[@wendygvozdich3187]

From what I’ve read there really isn’t a cure for Reinke’s Edema. I’ve had surgery, and she (my physician) said I had an old hemorrhage in one vocal fold, and another about to burst omen the other side. She diagnosed me with suffering from Reinke’s Edema. I lost my voice for 2 months about 20 years ago, but they never gave me an explanation. Looking back I believe that is when that old hemorrhage occurred. Any way, my local cover band singing days are over-unfortunately.

I agree, excellent explanation and video overall.

[@hannahbanana2413]

@@Krae75 smoking, vocal misuse, and poor vocal hygiene (i.e. not staying hydrated, consuming lots of alcohol, smoking, etc) are often the causes of Reinke’s edema! Reinke’s edema is most commonly associated with smoking, so it is highly likely that smoking has brought on this diagnosis for her.

It's so important to rest your vocal chords. I love singing, and recently, I sang every day for over a week. My style improved and I hit a note I'd struggled to reach. But I could also feel it in my vocal chords. It wasn't pain exactly, more like mild irritation. And I actually had to stop listening to music for a while, because whenever I listen to music, I feel like I have to sing along, because if I don't, I feel like I'll combust. I feel awful that Miley didn't have days off. She sounds amazing, but at what cost? I hope her voice doesn't get any more serious damage.

The way contemporary music is produced is an additional factor that contributes to people overstraining their voice. Bad technique can be ‚fixed‘ in post production to some extend and so companies have reduced or entirely stopped spending money on training and coaching their talent to actually learn good technique in the first place. Also a lot of music is so heavily compressed and ‚loud‘ that it gives listeners and especially people interested in singing a completely wrong impression of how singing works. If you Listen to vocalists today, especially young aspiring singers or talent show candidates, you can actually hear how hard they push their voices and how much strain they put on their vocal cords because many of them never had any sort of professional vocal coaching and they also picked up a lot of really unhealthy and bad habits from listening to music on the radio or on Spotify. When I started taking professional lessons twenty years ago I had to unlearn a whole lot of very bad habits I picked up from listening to music on TV and radio. music that even at the time was already often overproduced and over compressed and sung by people who also didn’t really have great technique to begin with. Things have only gotten worse over the last twenty years and so aspiring vocalists today tend to pick up even worse habits than I did.

Something i've gathered from a lot of pub singers & amateur bands etc is that they fall for the illusion that louder = better when it's not always true, that's what the microphone is for, it's the sound engineer's job to get the mix right. I've seen loads of inexperienced singers that have no musical ear for how their band sounds as a whole so gradually through the night they start getting louder and louder until it just sounds awful. This goes for any musician standing on a stage. A good musician listens to the whole band, bad musicians only listen to themselves.

"i didn't get recovery days there that was not important for someone that was making so much capital for such a big corporation". As an industry, the music business has an extremely poor track record of ensuring the well-being of its people (just look at how many artist end up dead or wrecked for life). It is e.g. well documented that taking people out of their environment and hauling them on tour around the world is severely stressful for their physical, mental and social health. Then you add in shenigans like Michael Jackson accidentally getting half his head burned off and you have a profession that looks more like a death trap than something people make a living of. I mean, most industries have managed to establish effective safeguards against the specific dangers of that industry except the music (and film) industry where such consideration seem to either not exist or, at best, seem pretty ineffective. There is College Humor's 'Construction Workers React to "Wrecking Ball"' which is meant humourous but it seems to contain an awful amount of truth each time I hear stories like that from the music industry.

Love her current voice! Never was a honest fan of her music (hence popmusic), but I have to admit that her late covers and small gigs are a joy to listen to.

[@jmaldo92]

Agreed

[@nose-bleed]

Same

[@BladesAndDiamonds]

She said just recently that a big reason for her voice is because of the fire they had in Malibu because of smoke inhalation or something like that.

Kudos to you for giving a clear and detailed explanation of Miley´s voice and concerns. I am 71 and never paid much attention to her, thought she was “too much” and wild. However, her song Flowers made me look at her in a different way and reading about her gave me a new understanding her career. She is devoted to her career and is now healthier than she has ever been. Consequently she is even looking prettier. As far as her voice, I Love It! Hopefully she is kind to herself and has learned to say HELL NO when being pushed around to make money from her voice.

I think she has matured since 2013... she isn't 21 year old party girl anymore, she's 31 year old divorced woman... and yes heartbreak from her divorce changed her and you can see it through those songs Flowers and Slide Away... she has stated in a couple songs that she isn't young or 17 anymore so she could be done with her "wild" era. When she was teen star in Hanna Montana she couldn't really do any of that wild stuff because she was underage back then and famous... so she musta had a late puberty in early 20s. I didn't really like her in the beginning but her last few ballads are really good. She definitely imitates Madonna like many other young popstars.

This is my favorite video you’ve made yet.

[@richardjohnson8991]

As someone who has some minor vocal damage from improperly learning to scream (I have since learned the right way) the idea of vocal surgery is terrifying. I personally can't recommend it as so many people have problems afterwards or not even being able to sing anymore at all. Personally I would always suggest learning to work around it unless surgery is necessary for health reasons. I'm happier with my voice now than I have ever been, damage and all

[@milyp1359]

I watched an interview where Miley said the voice change was because a traumatic experience when her house burned out and she lost all her childhood pictures and persona stuff

[@phonphotsriphrachan6252]

Every story has its scars and that's how I love her.

[@kimberlymarrone]

Totally agree 😁

[@joespivey9104]

It's called puberty and maturity thank you I'll be here all week

[@dianaringo]

Miley has grown so much as an artist, Plastic Hearts is an amazing album 💗 Wasn't a fan before, but now definitely am. Her voice is very impressive, and I truly hope that her voice doesn't get damaged anymore.

[@netmusicdotcom]

Nicely done video, Beth. Wow, very thorough on the topic! Important info for singers.

[@falcon6415]

She has an amazing voice period what ever year it was she sings with passion and her stage presence is phenomenal she a God gifted talent enough said !

[@LeKarrizzma]

I absolutely ADORE her voice now. Amazing. It can fit with everything!

[@genemachine5751]

Great analysis! How about a vocal analysis of Metallica's lead singer James Hetfield? His singing voice/vocals has evolved in different phases over the past 40 years. YEAH 🎙⚡

[@aspenenglish4976]

She sounds like she could be the Marlboro man. Get the horse! Stop smoking Miley.

[@pj1995____]

Yee-yeaaah

[@Mythos131]

That was an excellent explanation of how Miley's voice ended up where it is. I was floored when I first heard how deep (and awesome) Mileys' voice became. Now I see there is much more to it.

[@JorgeEmilio98]

Your conclusion was so beautiful! Congrats on the great content.

[@BethRoars]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jenbueno]

I'm a speech pathologist and want to say this video has really high quality. Congrats Beth, your research and explanation are fantastic.

[@BethRoars]

Thank you!

[@High_Heels_Lady]

My throat gets soar just hearing of her issues 😅 very cool video 👍

[@ania7zet]

Oh, hi, I'm new here. Wrote down a quote "You are already living". Loved. Stayed.

[@Quizzy0000]

i like her voice now alot more then before and she should sing rock imo. amazing video on how and why her voice went where it is now. i hope she can keep her voice where it is now.

[@fancythebold]

The voice and human body are extremely resilient...and can always heal if you apply the right tools.

[@anag99]

I guess Disney doesn’t include vocal training to children when they sign them up with contracts 😱

[@Nemamka]

I clicked because I was curious and I did learn a lot, but I also stayed here because the video turned so wholesome in the end, aww!

[@ticktock2383]

Heavy smoking plus hard living equals the voice of a 70 yr old.

[@daisies667]

I'm a 21 yo girl and my voice sounds like Miley's voice I don't smoke or have a crazy life

[@joleneloveland2942]

She sounds like bad adenoids to me.

[@MetaITurtle]

Yeah this is exactly what happened to James's voice too

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

She's looking old too. Not 70-years-old yet but she needs to chill out on her lifestyle because she is looking and sounding rough. The work she's going to be having done before 40 in order to look young is going to turn her into a freak (Joan Rivers freak) way too young.

[@vivianssuarez8597]

Even if her voice sounds different she’s still rich and famous no matter what we all say or think about her .. People need to stop hating on her .. You go Miley .. keep up what your doing .. love your music 🎶

[@joeoverton6700]

awesome video. thanks for being nice about her change. I agree with you. she is making the most of her new voice and i have to say i love what shes doing
