"I was diagnosed years ago with a partially-paralyzed vocal cord and I’ve struggled with it for years and I have to train and do therapy every day and keep it in shape.
I came to Ron Anderson about a year and a half ago and my voice was shot. I hadn't toured in three years and I felt like my career was finished. I had been to many different voice teachers and the experience with Ron was quite different. I found Ron Anderson, and out of all the vocal coaches I’ve worked with over the years, it was night and day. He was very detailed as far as where to breathe from and what it should feel like, where the valves should be. Now, here I am a year and a half later, and I completed my first tour in four years. We did four months and it was a really great time out on the road.
Ron saved my career basically. He's a great teacher, He really is. He is there with every note as he's going through the scale with you. He is just awesome."
The last three years "2010, 2011 and 2012 I’ve been out touring with Cinderella and each year it’s gotten stronger and stronger -this technique that Ron taught me has really gotten my voice in a place where I think it’s better than it’s ever been since this problem. And in some ways, maybe some areas of my voice are a little stronger than they were before I had the problem because I’ve learned a lot of things over the years with voice training and how to support your voice right."
While Keifer admits that the Kiss bassist gave his band good advice, he was rebuffed when he tried to get Cinderella a record deal, it wasn’t until Jon Bon Jovi wandered into the Empire Rock Club around the time Slippery When Wet was blowing up and told Mercury Records about this new band he’d discovered. Keifer and his crew were signed to a six-month developmental deal before they recorded their debut. Despite the four or five years of commercial success, the band enjoyed thanks to 1988’s Long Cold Winter and 1990’s Heartbreak Station, the combination of grunge’s ascension and a vocal chord paralysis diagnosis for Keifer did a number on the band.
All through this, the vocalist soldiered on and sang to the best of his ability while seeking out different types of treatment, but it wasn’t until 2009 that his work with vocal coach Ron Anderson helped him manage the situation.
“What I had was partial paralysis of a vocal cord, so there is not a medicine or a surgery that can fix that. I was told in the early ’90s that I would never sing again and my only prayer of singing again would be to train it,” “It’s taken me decades-it’s like two steps forward and three back. The surgeries I’ve had are not to deal with the root problem but to repair injuries that I’ve had because I have a weakness. It’s like running on a sprained leg.”
I finally found a doctor who did like a simple neurological test on me. Then he looked with the scope and he said - cause I felt like I was starting to go crazy as this is over a couple of years - and I was finally diagnosed with this paresis and he said, “The good news is you’re not crazy. There is something wrong with your voice. But the bad news is you’re probably never going to sing again
I feel my voice is stronger than ever. As I said, I’ve had ups and downs over the years and I’ve had some real lows. The lowest and the darkest time, I hit a bottom where we had to cancel a tour in 2008 because it just got worse and one doctor thought I had a second paresis and he didn’t really confirm it. “You know it really hurts. Do you know if you have a paresis and if you have a paresis, there’s nothing we can do? Just go train your voice. There’s no point in putting you through that.” My voice was the worst between 2006 and 2008; it just really took a nosedive. I thought it was over at that point. I had done a few tours before that, that I’d got away with it. Maybe not quite as easy as it used to be but we did a bunch of tours after I had retrained it the first time but this felt like it was over."
