The Importance of Vocal Health for Singers and Performers
This podcast episode explores how the delicate vocal folds, or vocal cords, can be vulnerable to injury for singers and performers. Overusing the voice and speaking too loudly can lead to conditions like vocal nodules, which can alter the sound and range of a person's voice. Surgery is usually a last resort, and the best treatment is often vocal therapy and lifestyle changes. While vocal fold injuries can be career-ending, advanced surgical techniques have allowed many singers to make successful comebacks. However, there are cases like Julie Andrews where surgery went wrong, resulting in the loss of her singing voice.
