Great video! What about fry? 🤔 My vocal coach told me it can be used to “relax” vocal chords, but I’m noticing that singers have different ideas about this
@chrisliepe5 жыл бұрын
Ya, fry can be good for your voice. I actually address this in one of my other videos, BUT when people are trying to rest their voice, some tend to 'live' in fry too much, and then it starts working against you because you're not giving your chords enough variety. monotone, or singular position speaking actually does more bad than good for a voice particularly seeking rest and restoration. Try fry through the straw as part of the exercises I share in this video! (I should have put that in :) )

So the reason that you're supposed to keep moving injured things like your ankle in order to help them heal is because muscles are their own heart essentially and if you don't pump the muscle then it doesn't get new blood flow so you're asking your muscles to heal without new blood flow which is basically atrophy

For me, vocal is rest is just talking normally, whilst avoiding strain and heavy use of my voice, and then slowly adding those things back in as I start feeling better. For me vocal rest is basically not singing or yelling for a few days, then slowly using my voice more and more until I feel confident going full-force. But not before doing some introspection as to why injury or stress occurred in the first place, and how to prevent it from happening again. Also, agreed water is king when resting as well as when singing. But green tea with honey is clinically proven to help symptoms of vocal stress/injury as well as many illnesses affecting the throat like laryngitis. Studies actually show that honey has potent antibiotic effects, and can actually be prescribed medically for mild illness like bacterial laryngitis. So green tea is super helpful, but in moderation of course.

I hurt my voice earlier in the year and wish I had seen this video at the time. I got very afraid of using my voice and potentially causing more damage, and so I would tense up in weird ways every time I would speak or prepare to speak, which obviously only caused more problems (and affected my breathing greatly too). It's important to remember that the vocal cords are made to create sound. While reducing vocal use can be very helpful, I think continuing to practice some amount of natural, dynamic, range-filled speaking like you talk about is essential from both a physical and psychological perspective.

Recently I moved to another state and allergies have done a number on me. Needless to say I damaged my voice for the first time (honestly) and had to visit an ENT for therapy and treatment. In a nut shell she recommended the opposite of the advice given in this video. What she recommended: absolutely no speaking for first day. Day 2, 5 minutes speaking am - pm. Day 3, 10 minute speaking am-pm. Day 4, 15 minutes am-pm...and so on. Absolutely no phone calls for 4 weeks. Week 5 low register humming. 10 seconds bursts. This therapy can last months. My point, I think this is a topic that should be handled by a medical professional. Not trying to be a dick. I enjoy your content.

Thanks so much for posting this. I hear you for what you're saying and not offended or anything like that. I completely agree with the assessment of an ENT and to listen to advice of Docs because they are giving you personal attention... especially if you've really injured your voice. THIS video is aimed at that "oops, pushed too hard over the weekend or am a little sick" person. BUT, I know that there are situations where people absolutely do need to go on full vocal rest. I've done it myself... but it's for more extreme circumstance than I'm assuming people are facing here. Most of the time, people over react and then their voice feels like it's being spun around from the tail to different extremes: NO TALKING OR USE AT ALL... OK FEELS BETTER... LETS GO SCREAM AND SING ALL NIGHT... OOPS... OVERDID IT AGAIN... ARG... NO TALKING FOR TWO WEEKS etc... But thank you for bringing the very valid and other side to this up as well. It probably deserves a video on its own!

@Chris Liepe Yeah! Lol. I was just thinking about how this video relates in some ways to resistance training/weight lifting. It only makes sense to at least use our typical speaking voice When we Do speak, even if we are resting our voice and trying to limit the total amount of blabbing that day. 'Cause (at least in my mind) those biological parts used in our normal speaking voice would be the most capable of superior endurance and resiliency. Before you even mentioned Whispering for example, I was already thinking how whispering might stress parts of your voice even further. Kinda like if you did an extremely intense leg workout and the next day you are super sore. You would NOT wanna just walk around on tiptoes whenever you inevitably MUST walk for some reason, 'cause that's only gonna increasingly over-stress a smaller group of muscles that are already fatigued. Obviously we would want to attempt to walk using our normal movement, with perhaps a little light stretching and such. ...I think that makes sense, lol 😎. 😜👍

Hi Chris- this is so helpful. My 15 year old daughter is a musician and in several bands. Weekly she has 8 hours of rehearsal and 1.5hrs of voice lessons and during the school year she does speech and debate. This past week add in 3x 1hr performance sets and a bit of sinus irritation from swimming in the lake. She says her voice doesn't hurt, but says her voice feels tired. I don't want her to do any permanent damage, so I'm taking her to the Dr today to make sure everything is OK. I appreciate this information and I sent her a link to this video to watch. I have a few questions though 1) do you think warm salt water gargle helps at all? 2) cold or warm water? I mean you would think cold might help the inflammation, but generally warm (not hot) liquids feel better if the throat is sore- or maybe it really doesn't matter 3) hard candy- I totally agree with your point about not using anesthetic type sprays/cough drops because you don't want to do more damage- but hard candy should create more saliva to help bathe the throat, do you think that's helpful? Thanks again!

I also tried to use it to warm up my voice, doing some classic exercises (octave slide, long scales, etc) but after a few minutes my vocal cords are so relaxed (and abs tired due to the resistance exerted by the straw) that the voice seems anesthetized and "veiled" (I struggle to get volume in my voice), and consequently I can no longer sing anything.

It's easy to overdo it with straw and lip roll exercises because they are kinda "standard vocal coach" ways to engage the voice. They are good!

I've always loved singing I've been a singer for about 7 years I've taught myself so many things but the voice has been my biggest problem no guitar or piano and I'm starting to get really frustrated that I'm screaming away purposely trying to hurt myself because my voice seems like it's shot anyways, I'm sitting here right now so depressed that I just did that I probably do a vocal damage I love all genres especially metal but I can't sing that I've hurt my voice too much, I think I'm going to give up and just stick to guitar and piano

i respect you alot chris but i do not quite understand or agree with the idea of not going full silent when resting. you seem to be implying that range dynamic speaking is necessary to not over stress one part of the voice, but yet, full silence stresses no parts of the voice. there are ways to use your voice after long periods of silence to warm it back up and not injur yourself. and i just simply dont believe healing damage or swelling by silence will suddenly be reversed as soon as you start using your voice again. a sprang ankle is less of a muscle issue and more of a tendant swelling. the vocal folds are very much more delicate and muscle in nature. for me i have chronic laryngitis that iv been struggling with for about 5 years. im an idiot who hasnt voice restee once at all. luckily my voice is actuslly not torn apart and i actually am well, BUT i have constant stress, pain, weakness anytime i speak regardless of my range dynamic. i really need to go full silent.

There are absolutely reasons to go full silent, but it must be done with the right approach and perspective. I should probably do a video on this as you're not the first to comment on my projected "black and white" view of full vocal rest. Thanks for the comment!

You'll have some reconditioning to do when you get back to it, and just make sure to take things slowly so you don't cause problems upon re-entry!

Thank you for this information, Chris! I strained my voice recently, so this is especially timely. Not being able to sing is like being in prison! It's awful. I think you'll find this very interesting. It's about the most severe injury I've ever heard of a singer sustaining and recovery from it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqmZZ6GJjZKDabs

@chrisliepe5 жыл бұрын
I actually feel weaker the days following my complete silence. I need to keep things moving and working. I also tend to tense up unnecessarily when I do utter a few mandatory words when I’m trying not to talk at all. It’s better just to decrease the vocal budget for that day, talk in moderation with range filled dynamic speaking. For me at least. :)
