Interesting video, although my vocal damage ship has sailed, vanished over the horizon, hit an iceberg and sunk with all souls lost but this is something I will try to incorporate to avoid further damage, thanks!

Dude THANK YOU, I'm a metal vocalist and do alot of growling and I was really wanting a way to check my voice in case my technique is ever off and I end up hurting myself, I did the test and turns out I'm fine. Just needed some more water and some rest.

yes, this is good as test and warmup. The problem now is that pop music style favors yelling and screaming and pushing which is absolutely the worst thing for the voice. Resting the voice even a few hours can be helpful. As a current opera star says, "sleep and silence" are her rules. Humming is good. My old voice teacher who was famous and amazing boiled it down to don't lean back (alignment), relax /drop your jaw (vowels), silent breath (no gasping), and SING. Every pitch combined with every vowel has a particular place in the head/chest cavities where it resonates properly. If you practice looking for those places, you will develop a good sound. Takes time, years to do it CORRECTLY.

Mark is great. Good luck for you.

I think my voice is definitely damaged. My voice is gravelly, airy and not as rich as before. If I sing louder it is very obvious. I just get a rattle or a squeak. Like something missing in the middle. I miss my voice. I kept on singing everyday even though I had pain. Something sharp in the centre of a raw sensation.

+arxsyn Most vocal damage will heal itself with rest. The best you can do is try to stop making any sound at all as long as possible. If you can make no sound for two weeks, it will most likely heal whatever your experiencing. Also drink tons of water. Next time try not to sing something if you have pain. Voices can take a lot , but pain means "stop".

arxsyn STOP SINGING. You were singing incorrectly, which is why you damaged your vocal cords. If you keep ignoring the pain and singing through it, your vocal cords will develop calluses and it will be very painful and pretty impossible to sing and even your talking will sound different. If you are missing a chunk of your range, you have already damaged your cords quite a bit. I would recommend seeing a specialist and NOT SINGING at all because it will only damage then further and you don’t want to damage them so far as to need surgery I assume, so just try your absolute best not to sing. Ik it sucks sooo much and it feels like your soul is missing and it’s hard to avoid the temptation but try.

hey I am glad I came upon this video! this was very helpful!

Great advice. Sometimes you have to up the water you drink as well. You could be by under-hydrated. Not de-hydrated, just under-hydrated.

Hey man, I went on vocal rest for 10 days after seeing this video, and today is the day I began speaking again, i found that it was quite difficult to speak and even more difficult to sing, obviously this is due to the voice being very out of practise, I'm just wondering if there was any specific method you used to warm up after being out of action for such a long time

Thank you so much, it helped me out after I freaked out that I have caused minor tears on my vocal cords. I know I have a few nodes so I freak out still that I could cause more. And that was even singing without damaging belting.

Thankyou so much this really helped! Earlier on in my concert this afternoon I got a really big fright because I lost my voice throughout a song I think it's because of the wind and my voice became dry but it made me really scared to imagine having vocal damage. This video just reassured me that I'm ok Thankyou so much I love this video and it's also a great warm up cheers !!

THANK YOU

I sing in a band, but my day job is a tree surgeon. After a day of shouting from the top of a tree my voice always tired when it comes to rehearsal. I was worried I had damage but I managed to do every note you did, even the high D and sustain it. I guess I just need to take it easy

Tbh guys just rest your voice for about 3 days and trust me the results you get will be crazy your voice will regain strength mine did

Thank you, this really helped. I’m kind of lost right now though as to what vocal coach to learn from. Do you have any recommendations?

I can relate to the beginning

For the past few weeks, my voice has become airy and sometimes it’s hard to use chest, there I days where I could use it just fine but sometimes it would sound harsh or rough. whisper/falsetto singing is a bit easier. Sometimes head voice is easy. But I have no control over it. I used to be able to whistle up to C6 or D6. But It’s completely gone. When I try to, the highest I could go is about E5, and G5 if really try which isnt a whistle anymore.

I warm up and sing everyday but I do like to take Sunday off. But when my throat feels sore I find if I do what you and Mark say it feels so much better it actually feels good. I also take an ibuprofen and gargle with warm baking soda water. I also rub vicks on my throat when I massage and then put a cloth around my neck to keep it warm.

Hi, I am 40 male and I use to sing karaoke 5 or 6 nights a week years ago and my voice was great! About 6 months ago I joined a little garage band and wow my voice has really changed for the worse. I run out of breath fairly easy I can’t hit the higher notes like I use too and i sound pitchy a lot of the times. I’ve always had a really good ear so singing has always been fun. But now I’ve lost all my confidence when I get behind a mic and it makes me sad.

I’m really worried. I’m 15, I go to singing lessons once every week. Sometimes, I will try to sing broadway songs for fun. Broadway is what I’m being taught how to sing. When I sing the songs, my voice and throat is perfectly fine, however after a couple songs in maybe around 5-6 in a row, I’ll stop singing and my throat will start to have a slight pain. Maybe a 2/10. It happened just recently tonight and I’ve been searching everywhere to see if I have vocal damage. Every time this happens, my talking voice is fine, and I could continue to sing if I wanted to. My singing teacher has not said to me that I have vocal damage, and has not brought it up at all. I even did this “test” and I could hold the note fine. I’m still really worried about the pain in my throat afterwards though! Does this mean anything?

Hey David, I was able to hold the notes just fine, however, when I actually sing with mouth opened and start getting near my passagio area f4 f#4, my voice does this weird thing. It's not a crack because I'm sure I'm not straining but it just does a screeching sound. Anyways, could itve that unjust need to be noiseless for 8-10 days?

i honestly overpractice a lot because, like you i get so excited about improving and such. But i really have to set a time limit on myself and not shoot for 2 hrs of singing from the getgo xD

I noted some white nodules on my throat, I can hardly hold my breath when I sing,my voice is kinda rough too😭 this is so heartbreaking. Wanna see a doctor today and God help me to go for ten days without singing. I'm not sure if I'll be able to.

I made it up to D and I'm not even an aspiring singer lol my normal talking voice is actually quite low so I didn't think I'd get very far, I got higher than that last note.

Hi I just came across your video... I live in Africa... So I just recovered from a cold and apparently during this period I was practicing and I was able to extend my range to an A5... Well obviously really happy that I could sing any song I wanted I was really singing and all and about two days ago I tried singing and boom... Nothing, couldn't sing my highs only my lows... I don't know what to do and there's no specialists around here I can go to... Do I just wait and stop singing for awhile... Like rest.. Please help me I need my voice back... I'm nothing without it... 😥😥 Thanks... What do I do... I also noticed I switched into falsetto at around and E5... I'm a guy.

If i feel like some sort of vocal fry even on the high hums does it means i have nodules? I'm a bit worried

Hey David! where could i get those vocal exercises?

I overused my voice after that I got my tonsils removed. I still have vocal problems to this day, i spoke to specialist idk what to do. I sing every other day when I drink a bunch of tea, once I'm done in about a couple days later I'll sing, after my jaw feels sore and my voice horse and I could barely pronounce any words... I've grown accustomed I wish I could sing again. any advice?

I was shouting (trying to produce high note), and after a while my pitch meter start to show 2 pitches. And I was a little bit uncomfortable to sing. I can hum as you told here but the note is not stable but no cracks. I was worried about vocal cord hemorrhage or just damaged my voice. How can I know if I damaged my voice.

I sing everyday. I have singing lessons every Thursday - Saturdays and I recently have been having trouble, I can't hit notes that I normally could. My throat feels swollen and it sorta hurts. I have a sinus problem so I am normally clearing my throat very often and harshly at times, so idk.

Thank you for this video. I've recently had trouble with my voice, I've been playing lots of shows recently and the day after my show i was noticing trouble in my vocal passagio, and it really scared me. vocal rest it is!

The first two low hums were difficult and my voice cracked. I could tho do the other ones ( most of them) not the last 2-3 slides. (Im a girl and i've started practicing just for a month with 4 hours a day). My voice felt hoarse and raspy on thursday so i gave it a rest. Now its sunday evening and even tho its better its not 100% healed. So imma take this week off aswell and then restart on Dec 15 (because i have two weeks of exams coming up so i dont have time)

How were you able to resolve your problem?

Ok, so I'm not sure if this will work for everyone but I accidentally over sang this last week and wouldn't sing for three days, on my third day my mom made me chicken noodle soup to try and help my throat AND YALL MY VOICE WAS BACK. I had dress rehersal the next day and only suffered a little bit of pain afterwards and so I had more soup again and I'm all good now.

Sir sometimes I experience little bit pain in throat muscles....what about it??

How were you humming to make voice deeper?

I can do the high note bot the low note, i have a soreness on the left side of my throat so I'm thinking its my lymphatic system.

When doing the vocal exercise, there is a vibration(vibrato) at the lower throat.

My voice doesn't break or anything, but I joined choir about 2 months ago and my range has been expanding. Sometimes, after long periods of practice, my throat seems tired and somewhat sore. This is normal right? My vocal chords are fine? I cannot stop singing, its my entire life.

How to get back our lost voices if anchors over use their voices by shouting??how to treat a vocal damage completely?

Alright, dumb question, but I sing all the time (every day, actually). Is it normal for my voice to feel sore and worn (like, to the point where it becomes harder and harder to put any wind behind higher notes) after a long practice or set or a good day's worth of singing, or is that a sign of something worse? I've been singing for about a year (self-taught, not bad at carrying a tune but no professional), and USUALLY my voice will feel 100% again the next day (or the day after that, if I REALLY sang too much). I also chug green tea like nobody's business, if that means anything.

Are polyps treatable with vocal excersizes?

hummmm. well im having some problems with something similar. im 60 and even though ive sang in the shower all my life, i just developed an interest in doing it more. ive been doing vocalizing and over the last 4 months, my progress in range has improved but now im experiencing something in where when i get to a certain note, for some reason my notes between chest and head are being pushed back down. like muscles from my throat are trying to keep me from going higher and actually push and fight me. some days are better than others. i can get above it and get into head ok but its bugging me! if i hit a note and try to go even little bit sharp, oh what i strain it is. i cant sing soft at all. make noise but i get way off pitch until i get louder. my progress also has gone backwards. my muscles just above the larynx feels fatigued a lot.does this sound like polyps or more like strain? ive had a lot of hoarseness for years. im getting discouraged. at 60, i really dont want surgery.

I've been resting my voice as i can for about a month now, it got better i atleast can talk somewhat now, but its still not comfortable, and my singing is the same, still weak and scratchy and it takes effort to make sound.

Hi David, my name is Jared and I've been singing since 4th grade, i'm a freshman In high school right now and my voice isn't how it was 4th,5th,6th or 7th grade year when i noticed it, i also make music and go to the studio and to me its been a waist because every time i record i don't like it, so it takes HOURS just to record one song. I stopped singing the summer of 2014 and when i went back to it i couldn't hit notes like before, i didn't even know what i was doing, just singing, and it sounded very bad (if you ask me) and of course a million things ran throughout my head like is this permanent, did i ever know how to sing in the first place, or am i just trying to hard. But when I'll sing for people they'll say "your good. " or "nice!" and i'm sure my moms not waisting her money on me for no reason. I need help because I'm going to a studio in Georgia soon and its VERY important that i don't crack or sound bad. Here's a list of things I've already tried *Tea/honey *Vocal warm ups( not daily ) *Constant singing *Research That's about it! I just thought maybe its puberty or just change but i also think how long is this process. I'm the only singer in my family so i just need another singers advice. Thank You David, I hope i didn't confuse you 😊

Something isn't right with my vocal cords. I just know it. I've been practicing and learning to sing with a singing teacher for 2 years now. My range is still EXTREMELY short, which frustrates me to all hell, I have trouble keeping a steady tone, I can't for no apparent reason learn how to scream, shout and use grit in my voice (neither the healthy nor the unhealthy way) and I feel like I'm ready to call it quits. But I'll definitely consult a doctor first and see if there IS something wrong with my vocal cords or not, and whether or not it can be fixed somehow. But I doubt it. I also feel like I have to support my voice way too heavily, like... pushing 60kg's of weights heavy just to get a loud and somewhat clear tone. No wonder I'm getting headaches when I try to scream, because I need to push even MORE from my diaphram to the point where it feels literally impossible to get that much support going. Man I hate my body. Like god damn... The worst thing about my situation are two things: The more I practice, the harder it gets. I have no idea why. In the beginning I had a somewhat decent range, but now I have to literally PUSH just to get to the notes I used to be able to get to with ease. And the other things is, that thanks to Covid-19, I'll have to wait an undefined amount of time before I can get my vocal cords checked...

takbirproductions I'm not sure. Usually the answer is either more practice or more vocal rest. You might wanna try both. If neither works you should see a ENT specialist.

i was in an argument and ended up screaming so loud that at one point my voice stoped making noise mid scream, also i had a cold at the time on top of that. I suffered from laryngitis for about 5 days or so after that. Now its been maybe almost 2 weeks since the incident and when i sing the higher notes my voice gets hoarse and its hard to sing on key. dont know if i should seek professional help or just rest my voice more, any advice?

Figureeight streaming and yelling is extremely hard and can cause your vocal cords to swell and muscle tension dyphonia. whomever is making you upset, you may want to come up with a stress free way of dealing with them. I'm leaning the hard way. It takes a while for the swelling to go down. Yes see a doctor.

My oorhinolaryngoloist told my that my vocal chords don't close up properly during fonation, do you have any advice?

Do you happen to know what to do if you can't be completely silent for 10 days? I work in retail and whether it is coworkers or customers I have to talk. It's only part time so it's not as bad as it could be but I'm wondering if I can still heal my voice somehow. Thanks!

dont forget to be realistic - you'll have to put in a bit of work whichever system you decide on for becoming a singer I've been studying how to play singing and discovered an awesome website at TurbosingingSecret.com (google it if you're interested)

its my problem now im hurt.

What do you mean by zipping up?

What if I feel like a pressure in my vocal cords

I made it until the end. However, I feel like what I need is breathing excercises and rest I guess.

If it crackles. What is that a sign of?

@@syndrome9000 I found general overuse, not the greatest vowel placement, not switching voices properly and pushing too hard over my flip between head voice and falcetto (the biggest reason) to be the main culprits. Take a break for a little bit, drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest (super cliche) and when your coming back pay attention to where the placement, what notes, vowels and how hard you're pushing in the places that cause the crackle and find better ways and placements to sing those notes that cause the crackle. Also something that helped me a ton, try to record yourself and really make sure you can hear yourself and see the difference between pushing super hard to make a note happen then back off as much as you can without losing quality. When I listened back to recordings, I found I didn't need to push nearly as hard as I was and added bonus gave me extra breath. I hope any of that helps

@@LeadersOfAFreeMind thanks i will try

my voice like goes quitter and louder it also hurts for me to do that

I had been going through a 4 month time where I would practice everyday for maybe 2 hours ish. And, I felt that my upper range, starting at like G6 had this hideous hissing tone to it. So, that noise starting slowly happening down my range to C 5. I hope I just have vessel swelling and not nodules or anything like that. Practicing is fun but I can get carried away with it.

Meredith Madill Yep, that was sort of what happened to me. Just too much practice. It's the right idea, but sometimes our cords need a couple days off even of just no talking.

What happens with the voice when we whisper ? I love Dr,'s Dan and Mark !

+Patricia Knox if you can't speak other than only a whisper, you're definitely better off not using your voice at all. I'm sure every pro would agree!

How do I know if I have this, I was in my singing class yesterday and when I got to a certain note it really hurt and now my throat still is quiet painful and it hurts when I talk and sing. I tried holding the notes for 10-15 seconds and could only get just to 10 and couldn't get past a F, above middle C. I used to be able to but, now I'm worried that I won't be able to sing again. Do you know long before I can talk properly again? Thanks

Try not to make ANY noise for a few days. You'll be fine. Just can take a little time to heal in certain cases.

I have a polyp in my vocal chord is there any suggestion from you because the doctor told me to go for a surgery

@ass640

From what I've heard, Polyps are different from nodules, much easier to repair and you should definitely go for surgery... Nodes are a far more complex problem, polyps (again just from what I've read) develop from a short term vocal abuse issue. So yeh, definitely listen to your doctor, I guarantee you if you had nodules your doctor would have told you to go on a vocal rest for a couple weeks or so. Although, after the surgery you have, the doctor will probably tell you to go silent for a little while just to let everything heal up nicely, then you can return to speech therapy then vocal technique exercises. Remember its all about preventing these problems in the future.

I'm going through a crisis ATM lol all of a sudden a couple of days ago what seems to be either my trachea or my thyroid began to swell and I feel like there is a lump in my throat. I went to see a doctor and he told me I had an ear infection which was the issue for it. However, I know that is not all there is to it. So I'm planning on going to an ENT soon.. then last night I was trying to clear my throats cuz it felt like there was drainage in my throats and when I did all of a sudden this sharp pain like a stabbing feeling in my throats happened all night and even now but it's not nearly as bad now and has pretty much gone away. I'm just freaking out idk if I have something serious going on or not. I'm gonna try this no talking for 10 days and see if it helps.

Sounds very similar to what I've been going through. The swelling in my throat has subsided but it's been 5 months and I still can't speak for extended periods without fatiguing, have lost range, and have been experiencing headaches. How were you able to resolve the issue?

@@krishool I'm not 100% sure what the issue is with my situation yet but the swelling in my throat appears to be a goiter according to the images I've found online.. Which would have to do with my thyroid. I have an appointment with a new doctor in the coming week or so that should bring further closure to the ordeal. Over the past year though, I've been recovering my range by practicing connecting and transitioning from all three head, mix, and chest. I have also been practicing riffs and runs to strengthen my vocal chords. This has greatly helped me sing for longer periods of time without experiencing the symptoms you are having as often. In my opinion this would be two very simple vocal therapy exercises. The headaches and fatigue you are having definitely sounds like what I am experiencing which I believe is caused by a weak thyroid. For days that I'm going to practice or sing I try and avoid anything that causes adrenaline even video games. I also avoid mold contaminated areas such as basements etc. When I do this I don't have any restrictions on my voice, no fatigue, and the lump in my throat is gone.

@@krishool If you don't think its revolving your thyroid I would say the best thing to do is to see a ENT and have them check it out. Since its not such a serious thing that you are having any serious pain I'd try what I suggested earlier and practice connecting and transitioning into all three voices as well as falsetto. I make this my daily routine just for maybe 5-10 minutes every day. I do them really slow and every day I try and add a higher note here and there.
