- Are you faced with throat soreness or hoarseness?

- Are you aware that you may be suffering from voice fatigue, vocal abuse or vocal stress?

- Are you finding at times that it is difficult getting through your speech, song, sermon, script or lesson, but don't know how to protect your voice the healthy way?

"Voices Out of the Box" should be read by everyone and I admire JP for writing this book which should be in every person's collection of books. It's simple, it's healthy and informative, yet basic information.

Know Your Voice & Signs Of Vocal Abuse


Know Your Voice & Signs Of Vocal Abuse

Head Register/tone/voice: When your voice produces a light, flute-like tone, conducive to soft and high singing.

Chest Register/tone/voice: When your voice produce a deep,singing from the chest producing a low/pitch singing.

Mixed registration/tone/voice: vocal adjustments having qualities of both light and heavy register. The ability to sing soprano and alto.

Vocal hoarseness occurs for a variety of reasons. Here are two common reasons:
Coughing/Throat clearing - When you cough or clear your throat, you are slamming your vocal cords together very hard. Doing this enough times will create swollen cords and the vocal sound will be different. There is a method for coughing and throat clearing that isn't hard on the cords that is especially effective for people who clear their throats or cough out of habit. You can find these methods in "Voice Out Of The Box" Book in preserving your voice the healthy way.

Grunting (as in weight lifting)-If you lift weights on a regular basis, you may be abusing your vocal cords. Weight-lifters slam their vocal cords together for the resistance needed to lift heavy weights and then grunt at the same time. This activity, repeated over time, may damage the vocal cords because the slamming together of the cords can cause a callous to build up, thus changing the mass of the vocal cords. This may result in a change in pitch and/or create vocal hoarseness.
