At my singing lesson tonight, my voice teacher determined that I may have the beginning stages of damage to my vocal chords. This would make sense since I had been pushing my voice in the past week, but I'm glad he was able to catch it early in the first few days of possible damage.
His advice was to just be cautious and not push my voice, that whatever possible damage that may have been done to my voice (if there is any at all) would simply heal itself if I was just careful not to push myself. He told me to warm up my voice in the morning before I even speak, something I already do.
For some reason, I'm really not satisfied with that answer. I take pride in my voice and don't want it damaged, so is there anything else I can do, possible vocal exercises, drinking tea, anything else? Going on complete vocal rest is out of the question since I have a very big audition in a few weeks and need the practice. Although I will try and be cautious, is there anything more I can do?
