This is an INCREDIBLY important question!?

Question

Is there any way that your vocal chords can be repaired after?
I started singing at the age of two and became quite good. However during my life here in Oregon, and constant screaming matches with my now ex, I have noticed that my voice has become increasingly harsher and damaged. I want to reverse this. Is there anyway that you know that you can do certain excersises for the vocal chords or anything? I want my beautiful voice back! People say its still beautiful but as a singer, a person knows when somehting is wrong and something is deffinately wrong!

Answer 1

as a young man i underwent some vocal exercises that helped me develop my voice. dont know how to explain them to you but found some sites that might help you.
one thing for sure is to give up drinking/eating cold (as in refrigerator cold) drinks/food etc.and try to keep the throat warm with a scarf or something when you go to sleep.

Here are some tips:

1. Drink lots of cool water, maybe this can relieve your throat and you can relax your voice too.
2. Before singing, always warm up my making some siren sounds and stretch. It may all seem like a physical fitness warm-up, but it's also for singing too.
3. Okay, when you are angry, try not to scream, instead yell, LOL, but not too loud. If you are really upset, high voice levels will really wreck your throat, so use expressions and faces, and not your voice.
4. Use some free time to take walks or sit outside and breathe deeply. Your throat needs to cool down after all that hypertension and your blood being calmed down can especially make it a lot easier to sing.
5. Never sing too much or way out loud; start little by little. After 20 minutes of singing, stop singing, and then you can resume after an hour. This way, your voice will not be wretched out and tired.

Answer 3

Oooooh, bad enough screaming, but angry screaming...torture.

You may have the beginning of hairline tears and what amounts to fraying of the chord-only a good ear, eye, nose, and throat specialist can tell you for sure. Check with the local theatres or opera companies and ask them to recommend a good doctor in the area to properly diagnose you.

Of course, it could just be that you have not performed for so long that you just need to reacquaint yourself with your instrument and how to use it. If I go for a period of months without doing a production, it takes me a few weeks to get back in sync with my voice. I had a hard time finding this stuff in Oregon, but it can be ordered. Look in the health food stores for a preparation called Satori Vocal Rescue--I love this stuff. All natural, non-anaesthetic, great stuff!

Answer 4

try waking up your voice in the morning while in the shower listening to the radio everyday or so. if you don't use your voice for a period of time it may become cracky. I sing for my church and when I don't sing except on (lets say) Sunday I have to wake my voice up so I won't get embarrassed.

Answer 5

get yourself to an ear nose and throat doctor. They can check your vocal cords in depth to see if there's any damage or not and he/she can recommend you a treatment. They have especial instrumenst to go down and check your voice box ;D
