Vocal Health #4: Watch the Way
You Speak - And Do No Harm
Duration: 3:54
 Are you unknowingly harming your vocal folds in normal conversation? The way you speak - not only behind the mic, but everywhere and in any situation - certainly affects your vocal health. There are many ways in which we abuse our voice, warns voice talent and coach Bettye Zoller.
In Part 4 of her VoiceOverXtra podcast series on vocal health, Zoller reviews dozens of potentially harmful practices. Indeed, continued "vocal hyperfunction" can adversely affect your vocal folds, and thus, your voice-over career. One result could be the formation of nodes, which must be removed.
As in earlier podcasts in this series, Zoller offers solutions. So take notes. And take heed!
