Comments on: Why I Can’t Talk But I Can Sing http://www.thevoiceclub.com/why-i-cant-talk-but-i-can-sing Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:27:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: voiceclubcoach http://www.thevoiceclub.com/why-i-cant-talk-but-i-can-sing#comment-29 voiceclubcoach Tue, 06 Apr 2010 19:11:35 +0000 http://www.thevoiceclub.com/?p=940#comment-29 If she's losing her voice, there's a reason. She may be manipulating her cords for singing differently to sing than she does for speech which could explain why she can sing and not speak, but if she's losing her voice more than rarely that's cause for concern. Ask her if she's open to seeing a good ENT and getting a medical opinion and let me know what happens. If she’s losing her voice, there’s a reason.

Hard to weed out the good from the bad, but it gives me better questions to ask and always results in my being much more proactive about my health. I need to get the habit down even more - when your sick it's hard to get motivated to do research! I’m becoming a big proponent of internet research as a prerequisite to all of my doctors appts.

I have to say, I have not had "serious" vocal problems, but since I started regular vocal coaching (SLS) I lose my voice less. I used to get "hoarse" from overusing my voice a LOT (I work in radio, which sometimes includes very noisy festivals and events), plus I sing every weekend in church. Now I can't remember the last time I completely lost my voice, praise God! By the way, I was debating going HMO instead of PPO with our health insurance in 2010, since the medical bills have been piling up with PPO. But after reading your story, I know what I want to do. Having the choice to go get the best medical help is, in every sense, priceless, no matter what medical needs you face. Kim, I’m so glad you finally got an answer and some real medical help.
