Frequently Asked Questions

Is whispering bad for the voice?

Singing lessons, cure stuttering, DVD voice training course.
Saying that whispering is bad for the voice is a myth that is sometimes taught. In whispering, the vocal cords are not used. Air is controlled by the lips and the shape of the mouth. No strain is placed on the voice. Clearing the throat, however, causes the vocal cords to rub against each other, and can cause damage which could lead to inflammation.

My friends tell me to whisper when I lose my voice. Is whispering helpful?

Frequently Asked Questions
This is an example of well-intended "dangerous" advice. Do not whisper to compensate for losing your voice. Whispering, like throat clearing, is damaging to the vocal cords and results in trauma and injury to the vocal cords. If you need advice about your voice, contact the appropriate licensed, certified, trained professionals (an ENT or licensed speech pathologist). Voice rest is recommended to protect the vocal cords from further immediate trauma and damage. See similar questions...

Is smoking and drinking bad for the voice?

Singing lessons, cure stuttering, DVD voice training course.
Smoking is bad for the body and terrible for the voice. Smokers are very highly at risk for various types of cancer, among which throat cancer is one of the most significant. Drinking in moderation will not harm the voice, but remember that anything done to excess can and will harm the body. And anything that harms the body, will ultimately have a negative effect on the voice as well. See similar questions...

Is vibrato bad for the voice?

Singing lessons, cure stuttering, DVD voice training course.
Occasionally there are people who want to make a point that vibrato is bad for the voice. They say that vibrato causes the muscles of the vocal cords to grow slack and “wear out” with age and much use. Of course, this is true of materials such as rubber, steel and plastic, but in the case of living muscle, exactly the opposite happens. The more you exercise a muscle, the stronger it becomes.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HORSE WHISPERING FOR ME?

Maui Horse Whisperer Experience
The benefits of being with horses begin immediately upon entering in the vicinity of the animal. Clinical studies have shown over and over that just being around horses significantly reduces stress levels in humans. When we bring our attention to the horse, we are brought wholly into the present moment. This is where the horse lives, and we must greet them here to have successful interaction. This is also a way of experiencing mindfulness, the practice of awareness in everyday life. See similar questions...

I've heard that "belting" is bad for your voice. Is this true?

Sing With Scarlett
Belting, as I've defined it above, is very bad for the human voice. If you are forcing your vocal cords to vibrate with their full length at a pitch higher than where the voice naturally wants to "break" into a head register, you are forcing the entire length of your vocal cords to slam into each other at a very high rate of speed across a large column of air.
