I hope your voice is find today and you've learned from that experience.

[@randomtoastlover]

Thank you! It's happened a few times now where I've warmed up for 20 minutes, sang for an hour or two throughout the day and woke up the next morning with incredibly tender and sore glands along my neck. It only happens the day after singing regardless of warming up, hydrating, and correct singing technique. Thanks for the tips, hoping they'll help!

[@healthyvoicetips]

I see two options here. You are either using your voice for too long for your current strength and endurance, or you are engaging muscles that are not needed for the vocal tasks so they get overworked and tender the next day. Watch your vocal effort and try to isolate control of the vocal structures from each other.

[@randomtoastlover]

[@LexFerrante]

I have never heard of laryngeal massage, I'll have to give it a try. :) I know how important hydration is, but didn't know water had to absorb into the digestive system to hydrate your vocal cords! Steam is always so soothing when I have a sore throat.

[@healthyvoicetips]

You have so many good points, Lex! Steaming is wonderful and you can use this method even when your voice and throat feel fine (as a prevention). There are many people who don't know that hydration in the form of drinking takes time and therefore, they just drink before or during singing, which is not really helpful at that moment. And give laryngeal massage a go and let me know how it felt.

You saved my life. My throat feels so much better. The first thing I did is pull out my facial steamer which helped tremendously, I started humming as well which helped sooth it a bit, you also said massage would help and it helped instantly I don’t know why I didn’t think of that sooner, I could feel my muscles were so tense. I did just get done working a 8hr shift and I was talking and cough all day.

[@healthyvoicetips]

I suggest that you give your voice as much break as possible outside of your work hours (if you cannot take sick leave). Also, speak to your doctor to deal with the cough because that can be affecting the health of the vocal folds and cause hoarseness, maybe some cough suppressants or something that eases the symptoms. Get well soon!

Hi Dini, yes the laryngeal massage is a great technique for releasing tension. However, I would not use it right before your speech because your neck may be red from touching it and manipulating the larynx, which may not look great on the stage. But a couple of hours before your speech is a great option!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Addison, I am sorry to hear about your vocal troubles. The first step is to have your voice properly evaluated, to have them checked, just in case. Once you know what you are dealing with, then you can take appropriate steps. In the meantime, while you are waiting for the assessment, lots of hydration (drinking fluids and steaming) and some SOVT exercises (gentle voicing).

[@huss2600]

You probably feel a choking feeling or you feel the ball in your throat rise up too high to where your notes sound strained, right? Well thats because your larynx (adams apple) is raised to high. You need to lower it. Im not entirely sure how to do this but i do know that relieving yourself of tongue, jaw and neck tension do improve your tone and prevent a strained sound.

No.. haven’t heard Of laryngeal massage either!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Laryngeal massage is a great tool too but it is not for everyone. Some people may be sensitive to touch on their necks.

Hello Katarina, thank you for your great tips! I need your help. I sing opera and jazz, i had swollen vocal chords and a problem where my voice at some point (passagio) sounds like a trilling engine .. so tensed and my throat goes immediately up.. its so weird. I did vocal therapy then after 6 months it came back again after 3 concerts. Thanks alot and sorry for the long comment!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Not a long comment at all. I hope you found solutions for your vocal issue.

[@HeatherGerhardt]

Going to try the laryngeal massage!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Great Heather! Let me know how your voice feels after you do the massage!

[@asabot123]

im a singer and the instant i heard singing i subscribed

[@healthyvoicetips]

I can feel your passion for singing!

[@sutapasamaddar1872]

Amazing video I'm a singer but whenever I sing high notes I dont know what happens at end it breaks....

[@healthyvoicetips]

Voice breaks are normal, especially as you ascend in range. You will get better at navigating them as you practice more.

[@hollies.5142]

Hi Katarina, Your videos are very helpful, thanks! I think that I strained my vocal cords from lecturing, rather than from singing. I haven't sung in a while, but now my throat hurts every time I talk. I have been resting it from lectures and trying to talk less for the past two days. What type of doctor should I contact about it? Also, how long does it usually take to relieve vocal strain? I don't have any hoarseness, just a very sore throat. It even hurts when not talking :(. I need to resume lecturing soon though. Hollie

[@healthyvoicetips]

Hi Hollie, I am sorry to hear that you strained your voice. It is very possible to strain voice from overuse like in your situation, for example when you have to speak to a large audience or present in big spaces or in a noisy environment. I even see more voice problems now when people talk more over Zoom. I would recommend that you see an ENT doctor, most ideally an ENT who works in a voice centre (therefore has a specific expertise in voice problems). I am not sure how long it will take for you to relieve vocal strain because it is very individual and it depends on the cause. For now, I would recommend resting your voice as much as you can, drinking enough fluids, steam your voice if possible, avoid vocal behaviours that may worsen it, such as throat clearing or coughing. You will find many more tips on how to care for your voice on this channel, so feel free to watch them. I wish you all the best.

[@hollies.5142]

@@healthyvoicetips Thanks so much! I really enjoyed your videos, and I have purchased a steamer. I am using boiling water until then, and I have made an appointment with a local voice center. Thanks for your videos, expertise, and quick response to my frantic message! I guess I don't use my good singing breathing techniques when lecturing....

[@WhiteShorts-jt9yq]

Thank you ma'am give this type of information ❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@healthyvoicetips]

It's my pleasure!

[@chiley3221]

Hi I’m 14, when I was younger I used to sing a lot but I screamed so much I feel like that was the part that permanently damaged my vocal cords I can’t sing like I used to I sing good sometimes but it depends on what my vocals r feelin that day. I’ve tried every technique I’ve also learned to sing from my diaphragm but I never noticed any changes I have gotten a lil better over time but I break down cause I can’t sing like everyone else I’ve practiced almost everyday nothin has changed at this point I’m feelin like goin to see a docter

[@healthyvoicetips]

Koda, go and see a doctor. That is the right decision!

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

I knew laryngeal massage cuz my mom is an elementary school teacher and had a surgery on her vocal chords. She starts the massage from behind ears till the clavicula lock

[@healthyvoicetips]

Laryngeal massage is very effective after vocal surgery, for re-setting the vocal instrument after heavy use (like school teachers have to do every day) or for releasing tension.

[@Limpsync]

Remember two guys that gargling deep is highly effective for humidifying the vocal cords. It works and helps also dissolve the mucus that’s immediately around them

[@healthyvoicetips]

I like gargling for many different reasons. One is releasing tension from the back of the tongue.

[@lilianacarvajalvillalba4040]

Your vids are great! Thank you! Could you help with this question....could I use a facial steamer to moisture my throat?

[@healthyvoicetips]

Yes, absolutely

[@lilianacarvajalvillalba4040]

Thank you for your reply. Do you have any suggestions on what to add into the steamers water, to benfit my throat?

[@clintbalzan8926]

Hi katarina, i suffer from intermittent voice hoarsness through the day. This mostly happens after being layed on head facing up. Are there any remedies? Thanks

[@healthyvoicetips]

I am not sure why this is happening. Have you talked to a doctor about it?

[@karanpreetkalra]

hello, it might be Acid reflux. Acid reflux often presents with symptoms similar to allergies- a dry cough, irritation in the throat, constant throat clearing etc., and it often goes undiagnosed. With LPR(laryngopharyngeal reflux, a form of acid reflux) , When you lay down after eating, acid goes up the esophagus and irritates the vocal cords. Might be worth looking into

[@hasnainmolu5189]

Hello Katarina. Very informative video. Can a strained or swollen vocal cord cause one to cough especially after talking or singing. When quiet the cough subsides.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Yes, coughing and tickling sensation right after speaking or singing may be a sign that your vocal folds are not happy with the way how you make them work.

[@taliabeth]

so a little over a month ago i got sick and lost my voice completely, as it was still healing and coming back, i went to a concert and screamed my head off. i’ve continued to talk and sing pretty much normally since then but don’t sound as good as usual and i feel so strained all the time singing, and even talking too much. i really hope this helps
