How NOT to care for your voice

World Voice Day Reminder - How 𝗡𝗢𝗧 to care for your voice:

🚫 Don't crowd source voice care (doesn’t matter how good the raw organic honey and lemon tea tastes, or how many people tell you just to be silent -- it won’t help your vocal folds recover from whispery, scratchy, hoarse sound).

📣 Don’t guzzle water right before an event or long day of talking. Hydration needs to be steady and especially consistent 24-48 hours before event, airplane travel, or heavy voice use.

🫥 Don’t wait until your voice is already fading and effortful. Train it early, prevent issues and protect it long term.

🫁 Don’t do breathing exercises in isolation to improve your sound. Breathing (even saying ‘ssshhh’) does not equal specific, effective voice exercises.

🔔 Bonus: don’t work with me if you want a ‘quick fix’ bandaid approach or generic surface-level support.

‘Waiting it out’ is not a voice care strategy if your voice is strained, scratchy, feeling ‘off’ or under-powered.

When you keep waiting: 2 days becomes 2 weeks becomes a career impact.

You are then at a higher risk for long term issues, negative impact on work and relationships and it’s a sign to ask for help!
