Answer 1

It is very interesting because today I had choir and we saw this video about vocal helalth fron the the Kansas Vocal Health Center. And it showed videos of the movements of the vocal cords in healthy vocal cords, and videos of other people that had nodes,callusses on the vocal cords, and larengitus, cancer,etc. It was so wierd and slightly gross.

But to answer your question i would say just to lay low on the singing or talking, vocal rest, because the body is telling you something if your vocal cords will not move the way they usally do, wierd phraseing, sorry. And get lots of water and fruits and veggies, or see a doctor if it doesn't go away in a week or two.

I hope you get well soon! :)

Answer 2

You should gargle salt water. Take some heavy duty cough drops. Drink ice cold water. Try not to talk alot. Your a 1st soprano? That's different. I would be like a -9 soprano, or faseto, or whatever they call low voices. I have an ugly man voice!! Lucky you. Rest your voice ok.

Answer 3

Gargle salt water, and most importantly rest your voice until it comes back!

Answer 4

Mix juice from a whole lemon with 2 teaspoons of honey...heat in microwave...drink this mixture, and regularly. Some chili peppers help, too. Most things with capsacin (spicy stuff) help your throat.

Answer 5

get some hot water and put salt in it. gargle a few times and it should clear up. (the water will be hot)

Answer 6

Maybe you could work on your rendition of " ( Silent ) Night " while you're waiting for your voice to come back.
