Vocal Health #7: Phlegm - Where It
Comes From & How to Get Rid Of It
Duration: 3:20
 
Sorry to ask this, but ...
 
What's the color of your phlegm? And, how much of it is clogging your throat now?
 
Indeed, phlegm can be a major problem for voice actors, and knowing how to cope with an over-abundance of it is important to your health (and voice acting income).
 
International voice talent and coach Bettye Zoller details what you should know about phlegm in this podcast - including what's healthy and what's not. For starters, did you know that:
  • phlegm originates in your lungs, not in your nasal passages?
  • various colors indicate types of sickness?
  • you should never try to eliminate phlegm by taking a cough suppressant?
Cough it up! Listen and learn.

This is number 7 in Zoller's Vocal Health podcast series, available only at VoiceOverXtra. You'll also want to review earlier podcasts:
