OB Chapter 20
This chapter should really be entitled Horror Stories for Singers!
There are all kinds of functional disorders that the voice can suffer from. Everything from hyper and hypo function to good old laryngitis and the dreaded nodules. The list of tragedy goes on and on.
There is also a whole obstacle course of things to avoid for a healthier voice like, not singing during menses for females, cautions about drugs alcohol, hydration, overuse, and allergies.
A voice can be rehabilitated if don properly and the p[patient is truly willing to put in the work and patience. Be safe, be reasonable, and most of all, don't sing stupid! Take proper care and don't do things that dry you out or cause overuse.
Key concepts: Damaged voices need patience and careful work to be rehabilitated. DON”T SING STUPID!
Key words: rehabilitation, Hypo function, Hyperfunction, Healthy voice.
Connection: This chapter scares me a bit. I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz when she enters the scary woods with the Scarecrow and the Tin Man, “Nodules and polyps and edemas, OH MY!!!!”
