Chronic Sore Throat After Singing Posted: 05-07-07 14:54pm
Hi Everyone,
I need some serious help. Since
elementary school my throat has hurt after
singing. I have spent thousands on voice
lessons from the top teachers and
everytime I vocalize my throat hurts for a
few days later. I am getting allergy
shots once a week since I have allergies
to almost everything on the list from my
ent. I sometimes take zyrtec, which
really dries out my throat. I have a
really hard time getting a sufficient
breath in and filling my diaphragm. Does
anyone know of groups that meet in Los
Angeles to work on this problem or know of
a speech therapist who works on helping
people with their vocal chord dysfunction?
Also, does anyone know of any alternative
treatments for postnasal drip and
allergies instead of zyrtec? I am getting
nosebleeds from it. I appreciate all your
help.

Maybe your body is telling you something.
Do you think that you were born to be a
singer or are you pushing yourself to
sing?

born to sing Posted: 02-12-08 16:00pm
I do believe in my heart that I was born
to sing. I love singing and it is my
passion. I do feel it may be emotionally
related. Do you know anyone who does
energy healing? Thanks, Kelly

Sure ... have you ever heard of Russill
Paul? He's an Indian teacher of music and
healing through music. You might want to
check out his work. I attended a workshop
he taught about mantra and healing. It
was wonderful! He might be able to guide
you or direct you to someone who can
help.
Also what exercises are you doing to
increase the volume of the diaghram?

Sure. Would you like me to outline some
exercises that can strengthen your
diaphragm? They are based on the rhythm
of your heart ... and quite easy to learn.
