Increase Your Ability For Maintaining A Healthier VOICE

- 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.

Yelling/Screaming/Hollering Is Not a Form of Proper Singing

When a singer truly feels and experiences what the music is all about, the words will automatically ring out.--Cabelle

For some odd reason or another in this generation and probably past generations I must include, someone or somebody has this perception that if you scream, holler or yell, you are a better singer. WRONG! Belting is different, it's a style of singing that uses an adjustment producing heavy tones through the vocal range. Yelling, Screaming and Hollering, slams the vocal cords together, too often and over time this will result in frequent series of hoarseness and vocal abuse. Over time it will could result in permanent damage which is not irreversible.
For more information on proper and healthier singing check out "Voices Out Of The Box" by author J.P. Olson.

  1. I'm sure you meant reversible, last word, second to the last paragraph.

    Slamming the vocal cords together has a name, glottal shock. Good to know these terms, helps with checking references, etc. Keep up the good work!
