Thank you for stopping by and watching this video. How is your voice feeling now after doing this easy vocal exercise to release throat tightness?

[@DivaMaman]

This is a wonderful exercise! Thank you! I was aware that a high laryngeal position was problematic in singing, but I didn't think to apply it to my speaking voice. I've worked to bring my speaking voice "off my vocal folds/fry," but applying a laryngeal lowering exercise prior to hours of teaching will be a blessing. Thanks again!

[@healthyvoicetips]

@@DivaMaman I am glad you found the exercise beneficial!

[@ancientpaths7]

wow, so practical at the same time very informative! Thank you, Katarina. You are such a great teacher/therapist!

[@gonnfishy2987]

I can appreciate what your exercise and sad voice is aimed at doing ... I encountered difficulty. Background in radio broadcasting and singing; I have used taking a deep breath to reset the position my larynx and relax throat. When I do the sad voice, I can't feel the larynx move lower (under my fingers) and although it helps me phonate with a different diameter vocal tract, it doesn't _really_ feel relaxing ... to move the larynx down requires *effort* and tension. Any insights please?

[@user-mw4sy1kg1l]

Honestly my muscle tension dysphonia is a everyday struggle while speaking. Thank you for being so nice and providing us with helpful information. Hope all that good comes back to you!

Thank you - I believe my throat tension is due to anxiety.. this seems to help me be mindful and move my body through what's happening..

[@healthyvoicetips]

Yes, anxiety can cause throat tightness.

[@qso3566]

That can definitely be an issue. The problem is finding a way to eliminate anxiety ... it's incredibly difficult.

I have the same issue. Anxiety causes the tension. I keep practising my public speaking and I think it helps the anxiety a little. @@qso3566

[@antonilin586]

I’ve been having the same issue and I know its from anxiety. The only thing that helps me but it only lasts for about couple hours is psilocybe mushrooms in medium-low dosage but I know that its not eliminating the cause. But those are the only few hours when ai get me voice back and I enjoy listening to my voice

[@heatherengelsman6527]

Hey all! I'm happy to report I have been taking a half dose of Ashwagandha daily and haven't had anxiety in months! I do not recommend buying just any Ashwagandha as I have had friends and family do that and they have had side effects.

[@parveengupta9029]

This is the only exercise that help me to speak some words. Sad voice is excellent exercise. Thanks mam. Can u suggest any other exercise that help to speak with less muscle spasm of neck and jaw.

[@healthyvoicetips]

I have a lot of videos with different types of exercises. Sometimes, it is trial and error to find the ones that work for you.

[@hw2050]

Hi Katarina. I have a quick question. I’ve had speech and language therapy for a painful voice, and my problem was that I was producing my voice from a place too low in my throat and putting strain on my lower throat muscles. My voice wasn’t resonating, so I learned to produce my voice higher up by speaking into my face where I could feel it resonate in my lips and mouth. I tried your exercise and it feels ok but I’m concerned it will put pressure on my lower throat again. Can you explain the difference?

[@healthyvoicetips]

This is a very good question. I agree that forward resonance is what we want to encourage. In the sad voice exercise, you lower the larynx but you can still feel the vibrations in your face. These are two independent structures. You can produce "forward sounds" with the larynx high, low or anywhere in between. However, if this exercise does not feel right for you, stick to your old exercises. Nobody said that you have to do them all.

[@crossjay]

Sometimes, especially when I'm stressed out, I start sounding like Fozzie Bear or Kermit the frog - it's like my voice is swallowed up in my throat before it even comes out of my mouth. I don't know if it's exactly the problem described in this video, but I'm certainly going to try this technique. Thank you!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Your problem does not sound like a high laryngeal position, more like tongue tension or loss of resonance. But you can always try this exercise and see for yourself.

[@hamstersniffer]

Great video. BTW, did 'sad Panda' pop into anyone else's mind when Katarina first demonstrated the sad voice?? It's a South Park character.

[@TheNorbert2010]

I am 60, amateur Trombone player since 7 years and never had a problem with tone. Since 1/2 year the tone stops, vibrates, sounds bad, however, i did not change anything. Do you think, that the problem can come from troat and would your method help to overcome it?

[@healthyvoicetips]

Are you talking about tone when you play trombone? I don't think I can help in this area.

[@sooriyakumaar5571]

While doing each throat voice exercise how many times and minutes should take to do.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Whatever feels good for you. There is no one answer for this.

[@catherinakubresli1547]

Dearest Katarina, Thank you for your tip, but I have a question. If the larynx is sitting too high, does it mean that you can basically feel that the larynx is almost going to come out of your throat and that your nose is affected, as if something is pressing under the nasal cavity? When I do ng-sirens, I do feel that my tongue is sitting higher and, of course, when I ascend/descend in pitch, I do feel that my larynx is moving upwards/downwards, but it does not feel as if the larynx is basically going to come out of my mouth. Does this observation make any sense, Katarina? So sorry for the long comment. Lots of love to you.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Very interesting question. Thank you. The answer is no. If your larynx is too high, most people don't even know about it. Because too high is a relative term. People who experience vocal tension usually have overworked and contracted muscles above the larynx which pulls the larynx more up but it does not come up to anywhere near the nasal cavity. Anatomically that is not possible. When I say too high, it means too high compared to a mid position which would be most relaxed position after we swallow. I hope this makes sense.

[@catherinakubresli1547]

@@healthyvoicetips But is the larynx still supposed to be moving when ascending/descending in pitch? Is that movement different from having a too high larynx? Again, thank you for your wise words!

I think this raised larynx problem is the CRUX of my problem - I’ve been suffering from MTD for almost five years now - and the longer I struggle with this, the more stressed I am about it and I think the worse my tension gets 😨 And since I’ve to use my voice a lot in my work, I find that I’ve to literally hold onto my throat and press the larynx down while I’m talking / singing to try and sound more normal. Will my larynx ever come back to a relaxed normal position on its own? What can I do to make this happen ( non surgically I mean ) I’ve been doing your straw and SOVT exercises for quite a while now but I’m not sure if my voice is getting any better

[@healthyvoicetips]

A raised larynx is very typical for people with excessive tension. There are more things you can do to release tension from your voice. Have you tried manual releases like massage or myofascial releases?

[@sawandutta]

@@healthyvoicetips thank you for your reply. I’ve been doing some laryngeal massages ( stroking downward along the throat, moving larynx side to side, in circular motion, moving hyoid bone wise to side, massaging in circular motion somewhere near the hyoid, massaging along neck, downward with a vibrator. Not sure how long I’m supposed to do these for, for them to be effective? I do them for about 1 min per exercise once a day, not very regularly.

Hi Katarina, My voice becomes weak and husky almost an hour after every meal. My voice again seems to become clear when my stomach is empty. Also it becomes clear after a long rest or sleep. I also have tiring of voice with usage. I am a singer and literally I can't perform well beacuse of this. Usually people with acid reflux have problems in the morning while wake up. But my voice is very clear in the morning and starts deteriorating after breakfast. Could you please explain what is going on with my voice? Will any exercise suit for this condition? I think like I have a little bit over anxiety as well. Thank you so much...

[@healthyvoicetips]

Anxiety can definitely affect the quality of your voice but I don't think it is the only factor. Unfortunately, I cannot diagnose or help in any way over the internet. I suggest that you have your voice properly evaluated by a laryngologist who understands singing voices.

[@josephmccaffery6431]

I have significant back to front arytenoid constriction. My SLP said my throat is like a tourniquet. What are the best exercises for this condition?

[@healthyvoicetips]

There is no one specific exercise for this. It does not matter if the constriction happens one way or the other, paying attention to muscle effort and isolating the movements of position of different vocal structures is important. This sound complicated but start with a sound that you can already make with some freedom and go from there. I suggest that you work with a voice therapist who can guide you through the process.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Sorry to hear that your voice is giving you a hard time. Not sure about the reason of your vocal issue - do you have a cold or flu? Or something else. In any case, hydrate well, get a lot of rest, try some gentle vocal exercises (SOVT) and if your vocal issue lasts for more than 2 weeks without the presence of acute infection such as common cold or flu, go and see a voice specialist (ENT) for a proper voice assessment.

Do you have patients who experience what feels like the vocal chords/muscles surrounding the vocal chords start to spasm randomly? Even when not speaking and/or when relaxing. What can cause spontaneous spasms?

No, don't continue. The sad sound is the gentlest sound you can make so if you are having a reaction like this, you are probably engaging too many muscles or you are using too much effort. There are many other exercises for releasing vocal tension. Find one that feels good for your voice and body.

I would disagree about making videos shorter or even focusing on time codes. Today people wants to get the results in a fast and easiest way.
