Same I sing quietly because my family is not the singing type so I sing to myself throughout the day and whenever I do try singing loud I have to push from my stomach to continue the notes and if I start singing for an hour my voice will start to hurt and crack So this video is so helpful, I do not have a vocal coach, I don't have a voice doctor, I'm just a girl learning to sing on her own! 💖

Not gonna lie, ever since I started studying operatic singing I incorporated some little things that actually helped me to get rid of the hoarse and tiredness I felt after singing a lot or working long hours as a hotel receptionist. 1 - Diafragma breathing 2- Body stretching (legs included) after waking up and at work too. 3- Massaging my face and neck a couple times a day. 3- Practising full vocal workouts, because the cool down is just as important as the warm up. 3- Always bring some water 4- Drink a nice cup of warm (not very hot) tea with honey before bed. 5- I live in a cold weather place so covering my neck helps a lot. 6- I learned not to be afraid of the high notes but rather to find the best technique according to my voice with professional help.

Momma cheryl please this is a question, what if we don't have a voice doctor 😭

[@gabrielrodriguez8019]

From personal experience. Once I got a flu which then worsened into sinusitis and when I tried singing, I would lose my breath, my vocal range dropped by half and I sorta lost my intonation. During this time I told myself I couldn’t sing I was like this for around a month. Not singing for a month sucked but when I got better it felt amazing to sing once again. Avoid singing when you have any flu like sicknesses

[@user-tl8bt9rb5b]

I remember, once time, I wanted to improve my whistle register. But I was forcing my voice a lot because I didn't know how to do it. The next day, I got a sore throat with a horrible feeling of irritation. I was so shocked lol. What did you do to get better? Did you just stop singing or did you see a doctor?

[@jinyoungmysteria193]

@@user-tl8bt9rb5b I have had similar experiences when overusing and overdoing my whistle register in the past. What I've done is just simply stop singing, talk in a higher pitch (talking low and quiet, does more harm to your vocal cords, but also do not overtalk or talk too loud), drink hot tea, and get a lot of sleep (sleeping helps!). I was also in choir at the time, so I let my choir teacher know about my voice being hoarse and sore. My choir teacher recommended me to not participate in class, as to preserve my singing voice. So I sat at the side for a while until my voice and throat felt better.

@@jinyoungmysteria193 Thank for your advice. Theses times I feel my voice is damage by oversinging to high, I try to learn how to belt but I forgot that singing above F5 when you don't support anymore can be dangerous. So this time I just stopped singing above D5. I hope my voice will get better. Cause I feel like a permanent tension in my throat even when I don't sing.

[@sarahkeane8634]

Got this notification and was scared to watch 😳 I can relate to the vocal fatigue/hoarseness after singing for maybe an hour or two. I know it’s probably because I don’t warm up my voice before singing. I just get so excited to sing that I’ll just get right into it. Should note I’m not a professional singer, but still it’s a bad habit of mine.

[@CherylPorterVocalCoach]

Hello sweetheart!!Professional singer or not, it is vitally important to always warm up before singing. And also, as I said in this video, it's also important to do vocal workouts. Treat your voice like the jewel that it is. And never give up!! Love🧡❤

I have all 8 signs. And kept on singing and singing. Went to see a voice doctor a few weeks ago. Have nodes and water on my vocal cords (I'm a smoker). Never did a warm up or vocal exercise. Now I try to do yours, but I think I have a long way to go to get things better. I'm almost 47, can't picture a life without singing and music. I feel sad that I killed my voice in all those years.

[@thekidsofinsanity7367]

I honestly wish I could've had a vocal coach like you. Or any vocal coach. I trained my voice by singing to my favorites until I could hit their notes. 15 years later, Now I know I've lost the best of my voice and I don't know how/ what I did. I wish I could get it back. You're amazing and your students are so lucky.

[@WiLdTiger-kz3xb]

Thank you soooo much for your content. Talk about damage 😢. During an ACDF of C6-C7 11-09-21, my right laryngeal nerve was damaged, leaving me with a paralyzed right vocal fold. I have been devastated. After my talking voice wasn't even working right, I went to see an ENT who put a camera up through my nose, then down towards my vocal folds. He asked me to say eeee. He pulled the camera out and said, "Your right vocal fold is paralyzed." I said,"Paralyzed? What do you mean paralyzed, I'm a singer!!!" His response was," You'll NEVER sing again." My heart sunk as he quickly was leaving the room he told me you need to go back to LLUH, and they will give you injections that might help you talk. I've been seeing a laryngeal surgeon, and I've been having voice therapy. In order to talk, I compensated by squeezing my throat, and now I can't relax it. I was given a small amount of botox in my false vocal folds. I also had filler injected into my paralyzed vocal fold. This has changed my life drastically. I still can't sing, and it's hard to be heard when i talk. I have been seeing the training you do with these young people is so wonderful. I'm glad you included this video to give advice on what to do when one's voice has been compromised. I don't know what the surgeon who had performed the ACDF never told me this could happen. I was asked how important my voice was on a questionnaire 1 - 10. I wrote 10+++ I am a singer. I'm 71 now. When I was a little girl, I'd see Capitol Records in Hollywood, California, when we went to visit my grandmother. I would see that building and dream of the day I would be old enough to go there and make a record. I wanted to be like Doris Day. Music and singing have changed a lot since then. Not being able to sing has been like ... I can't describe how bad it feels. When your viewers watch this and your other videos, I hope they know how valuable you are. You are amazing. ❤

[@moniquevandeplas5210]

I really love this woman. I have been using her free exercises and have been told by a lady who owns a karaoke business who sees me at different venues of her "every time I see you you get better" I honestly believe a big part of this is because of doing Cheryl Porter excersises. I literally keep trying to do them for 30 days straight but the furthest I have got so far is 4 days straight then two days off and another 3 days on a day off and 2 days on. I want to purchase her course but I am waiting till I can do the free excersises for 30 days straight (and also until I have some disposable income). Here is the thing every time I do her free warms up for even 2 days straight I am discovering something different I can do that I was afraid of before. Plus, I thought I had this terrible singing voice as it's hard for me to sing in key but she has taught me not to be afraid of my voice. Also I understand so much more like agility and vibrato terms because of her articulate ways of explaining it. The biggest thing I love about her is watching how excited she is for all her students. Okay I have totally digressed off point. I am really happy she made this video. I am actually finding a lot of times at karaoke it's not the singing that is killing my voice but the need to speak so loud in a pub so others can hear me while there are dishes banging, music playing, sound system issues (sometimes), singers singing, and just general commotion....so glad she talked about protect your voice if you are singer or speaker. Also I am very happy she talks about hormonal imbalances because sometimes my throat does burn or my voice gets raspy and I think "oh no" but I realized that that always happens on my period (sorry for anyone reading this and is like tmi!) and I also realized it was happening before I intended karaoke. I even have a hard time breathing during this time. Here is something related to me now but not the video perse. I found since I cut corn ingredients out (as I figured out I have an allergy to corn) and I am talking corn syrup, cornstarch, maltodextrin, etc as well as rice and some other things I don't struggle as much with the raspy or burning or breathing during my time. Just I am really glad she addressed these different issues.

This video is gold! Good technique is key. Developing bad singing habits can "damage" the voice. I say "damage" because it's not the voice which is damaged, it's the technique. But sometimes it really is damage from overuse. Every point is right on target! I've learned that whenever I sense the voice is done, I stop. Just like working out, train to failure and rest. Over training will lose gains over time.

More than 1 of these happened to me. This a really valuable video! I wish I have seen this video before. I would have avoided very bad singing habits. If you feel that your voice changed a lot and is worse, as Cheryl says, it is not normal, even if a doctor tells you that is ok. Go for a second opinion. You are not supposed to experience so drastic changes, to feel your voice tired frequently or to loose range. A lot of the times, serious vocal damage can be avoided just with correcting your singing technique like in my case, but sometimes you may get health problems so always be careful.

I’m a singer, I sang incorrectly for years and I’ve been working on proper technique and Dynamics for about a year now. The day before yesterday my throat has this weird feeling where it’s feels weird to swallow. I feel like though I’ve made plenty progress from the way I sang in my past; I feel like I’m hearing and feeling some of these issues here and there. I don’t have a voice doctor as of now because I can’t afford one. I also have allergies so it’s frustrating but I sing every day and since I’ve been on this journey of learning proper techniques and dynamics, I don’t usually feel pain or experience horse ness so these past couple days have been weird for me. Hopefully I’m just fighting a little bug or something. Anyway, Thank you Ms.Porter because your videos have taught me so much and they challenge me in ways that I need and I’m very grateful! 💚 Singing is my first language so I can’t even imagine life without being able to use my voice as the instrument that it is. Singing properly is really important to me. Thank you for your time and efforts in making quality and original exercises; and content in general! 💗💚

My voice is damaged because I probably don’t do vocal warmups that much anymore! I love singing though and your videos always help❤!

[@jameseyas5109]

Thank you Coach Cheryl For your Advice I knew that my voice was damaged. No wonder I can't sing well. Because instead of starting low, I started at my whistle register. Love from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@annerumburg2056]

I so appreciate your energy and positivity in your beautiful videos. Thank you for these informative and empowering videos!

Thank you 😊 We love you too 😘

I know my voice is damaged. If i may put the guilt on someone I'd put it on my family & my music teacher back in school. And the fact that we don't have an vocal coaches where i live. Though, i finally found the courage to see a doctor about my voice. Having my next appointment in two weeks where we will discuss what we should do next. Hope i don't need surgery.

What are your thoughts on faster vibrato being a 100% sign of faulty technique? I never wanted to assume faster vibrato is always a sign of a technique problem because there are plenty of singers, like myself, who just...have a naturally faster vibrato! Same with wider vibrato, it's just natural for some! Granted, I can tell when my vibrato is pushed and the pitch suffers, so I worked on a good few things and my vibrato is significantly more stable and I can play with its speed more than I was able to before, but it's still naturally on the faster end, and always will be! We can't all be Gaga or Tori Kelly, the world would be boring, right?! And the constant cracking SENT ME 🤣

[@Frostbiteartedits]

I have a problem with getting louder. I can only sing quiet and I’ve started to see a little change of not being able to hit high notes. Can you address that in one of your videos please?❤

Thank you Cheryl for this wonderful lesson.

Dear Cheryl, you saved my life when I was 18 years old. You were in Italy at the time and your videos was for italian speakers and I'M SO GLAD ABOUT IT, because I couldn't understand anything otherwise since my english was not so good (even now it's not perfect, but at least I can understand what I'm watching!). And thanks to you I realized that my teacher was teaching me nothing good... 3 years of lessons and still I couldn't sing in a decent way, never learn how to breath properly and my vocal extension was just one and a half octaves. Now I'm studying with a different teacher (since 2018) and after few months I reached goal never reached before! Now, after 4 years I can sing properly. Of course I'm not perfect but at least I can sing! And for the record, now my vocal extension is three octaves (plus four notes)... and this wouldn't be possibile without you. So thanks from the bottom of my heart!

Hi Miss Cheryl. I never have pain when I sing. It pains everyone around me including the cat but I never have pain when I sing

[@CherylPorterVocalCoach]

Hilarious!!!!!🤣 But keep singing anyway sweetheart!!🧡❤

[@wrathfulpanic3128]

I've been coughing a lot. Am I at risk of damaging my voice

[@CherylPorterVocalCoach]

Oh honey I am so sorry! It depends…does your throat hurt? Make sure to contact a doctor, if you feel pain!

[@wrathfulpanic3128]

@CherylPorterVocalCoach gladly doesn't but definitely can't sing much currently and I'll definitely go to my doctor

[@queenofjags]

Thanks coach , started watching your shorts and I love them .

[@KimberlyDurrMusic]

🌓HeyyyCheryllll love, how are you beautiful? Loveee this video, I was so happy to know I’m doing everything right. I was so happy especially having to deal with severe chronic pain, severe chronic nerve damage, severe chronic muscle spasms and severe chronic copper tunnel and other stuff, but my body spasms while singing so I’m learning to get around that and the medication is a fight as well, but I know how I have to take care of my body and I am very intentional with the choices I make. I hope everyone that watches this video truly listens to your phenomenal wisdom because it will save they vocal cords. Love ya and appreciate sugar. And also I’m so super proud of you, keep up the great work.🙏🏾🤎🥰😘🙌🏾
