I completely lost voice when I had covid 3 months ago. Not even a whisper could come out. To this day, I have a husky voice and i cant sing. I'm usually a soprano and I'm so desperate to get my singing voice back asap.
@@healthyvoicetips no, I haven't. My voice has come back a bit after 5.5 months but I'm still hoarse and husky and not clear wuth the lyrics. I can't reach my high c or higher notes like I usually can. It's been almost 6 months. I will look into seeing the specialists. I hope I didn't ruin my vocal cords. Thank you so much for your reply 🙏
Sounds like a polyp. Cant be treated but would suggest extended periods of vocal rest, tons of water, Try an IV with Glutathione. Might bring down the swelling. But mainly, go get scoped so they can see what's going on.
Thank you for making this video. About five years ago, I was assaulted; strangled to the point of unconsciousness. And every since when I yell, I loose my voice either partly or entirely for a day or two. And then am left horse or scratchy sounding for as long as two weeks. I find it hard to make specific sounds. ie when I try to meow like a kitten no sound, nothing at all. other times I can meow but can't cry like a puppy. Not that I try to meow or make puppy sounds but I don't know how else to describe the tones. I had lost my voice (again from yelling) prior to my injury on several occasiions. And was able to easily clear it up by drizzing honey down my throat going as long as I could without swallowing. Couple times of this today and I'd be better tomorrow. Now... It's helps but doesn't get the job done. I've tried various natural remedies and even resorted to trying modern drugs - the red spray in the bottle. Everything helps some, but I felt as though I needed to go deeper, so I hit the search button on youtube "how to heal horse voice" and found this video. Already, I've learned a few things that I can do to help get back and hopefully maintain a healthy voice.

Yes, many drugs have known negative side effects on our voices but doctors usually don't talk about it because most people don't need to use their voices professionally (while sick). And professional voice users need to ask about side effects and consult specialist to protect their voices. Thanks for watching and your comment. I really appreciate it.

Rest is important. Especially when you cough. Coughing brings vocal folds together in a very forceful way and prolonged coughing can damage them. So take a break from talking and if you can, suppress your cough.
I had a very smooth voice. But now, it hurts whenever I talk and it's all breathy and weak. I feel like somthing is clicking in my throat. I'm going to talk to my doctor, because it didn't go away for almost two months. Singing has always played a huge role in my life. I don't remember a day, when I didn't sing. I was in a school choir and I had a great techique. I had no clue, that somday It'll be taken away from me. I wanted to improve, so I got myself a teacher. At first it was nice. But after a couple weeks, I started to feel my voice slowly getting weaker. It took more and more effort to sing, how she wanted me to. I feel like I was always too quiet for her. And now here I am, without the only thing, that's ever made me feel worthy.
Chewing raw ginger, Nin Jiom herb infused honey, Slippery Elm Throat Coat Tea, ginger tea, Fisherman Friends original and Recola Original - I do McCartney professionally and it is tough.
@@healthyvoicetips awh, thank you!! i didnt lose my actual voice, only my singing voice (i havent been consistent with singing lately) but yeah, thank you x3
I want to thank DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam for curing my throat nodules within 21days after I finish using his herbal remedies, I'm so Happy I came across with you .... 💕
It is very common for teachers to have voice problems. As you are having troubles talking, I would suggest that you visit a specialist so that he or she can look at your vocal folds and assess their structure and function. Then, you can get appropriate advice on how to manage your voice problems.
Ive had a hoarseness for almost 2 years. I had severe covid and they had to intubate me for a few days. When it was pulled out, it wasnt very gently. I'm on a worship team, and what I used to sing I cant anymore. I no longer can find my range. 😢 Ive seen an ENT, who recommended shots or speech therapy. I chose therapy. Ive done that for about a year total. Im very discouraged and frustrated. Thank you
I am very sorry to hear that you are dealing with voice issues. Yes, intubation can really affect the function of the vocal folds. If you are not progressing in your healing, I suggest that you visit the ENT again a inquire about other options. I am not sure what your vocal folds look like or how they function but that would be good to know when deciding about the next steps. I wish you all the best.
I sip lemon water. I take the two cough meds in Mucinex---guaifenisin (sp?) and dextromethorphan, and also Benedryl. I breathe my Vicks vaporub scent, and most other drinks I DON'T do. I don't think this is nodes, but I just have a fit with what seems to be phlegm coating my vocal cords or occluding my bronchus. I try warm ups, but sometimes that takes all I've got... And I 'lean' on the microphone. But I have special music tomorrow and the song has a number of held notes---a couple of measures. Honey maybe, but I am diabetic, still... And I pray to be a blessing!
I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with voice troubles, especially when you need it the most. I was wondering if you saw a laryngologist for a voice assessment. They may be able to suggest solutions for you.
I am really worried about my singing voice. I have been a singer for many years and over the summer I had a series of bookings close together . After one of them I felt I had over used my voice. Now, two months later I feel I cannot reach the notes I usually can. When I sing for a short time, even if just warming up my neck and through feel dry and tired. :(
Hi Whispering Jim, I am really sorry to hear that you have been worried about your voice. My recommendation is to see a voice specialist, one that can do laryngeal videostroboscopy. It is an examination that will show you and the doctor what exactly is going on with your vocal folds. This is recommended to anyone who has vocal issues lasting more than two weeks. So you definitely fall into this category. If you know what exactly is happening, you can deal with the problem and lessen your worries. If you have any other questions, let me know.
I have a competition today. I got a throat infection a few days back. I still have a thick voice due to the infection. I worked really hard for the competition I’ll definitely try these methods. As I really want to win
I am so discouraged I like to sing and my voice is staying hoarse i got hoarse in January from allergies and it’s July and I feel well but I’m still hoarse ...
Having a hoarse voice is no fun. I have seen so many people who are really frustrated. But the only way to help is to really see what is going on with your vocal folds. Have you visited a voice specialist who can actually see your vocal folds while producing sounds? Allergies are often a cause of hoarse voice, therefore, speaking to an allergologist is also important. I know that it may be difficult to manage allergies and it may take some time. Talk to your allergologist and tell him about your hoarseness. It is possible that some of your meds can be contributing to your hoarse voice. Good luck.
Katarina H I went to a ear nose throat doctor and he did a nasal test and looked at my sinuses and said I had some drainage but he really elaborate on that and he also did a cat scan of my throat and said everything looked fine there so he sent me home with nasal spray have you ever heard of acid reflux causing hoarseness ?
I went to a vitamin store and suggested for me to try natural orange pill vitamin for acid reflux and my voice is doing some better but still not completely well and it’s been nine days since I started the natural vitamin
Yes, acid reflux is a very common cause of hoarseness. Just imagine, your stomach juices that are very acidic coming into contact with the delicate structures of your vocal folds. Very common.
Recently through prayer I feel that The SPIRIT OF THE LORD lead me (I’m Christian) to understand what was happening with my voice that may help you too. Your room or your house may have mold or pollen... some allergen that is drying your vocal cords. Open your windows and let the air flow if you live in the warm weather... new filters on your air conditioner and air purifiers. GOD bless!
can someone help me to get rid of hoarse voice and it really pissed me off 😔😑 im not a professional singer but i do always love to sing as a church servant. 😭😭😭
Honey I tried.. It helps.. Black tea with honey and pepper is a bit helping.. Steaming a bit helpful.. Voice rest...cinnamom, licorice or sweet wood chewing are kind of my ways.. Low humming of Om sound like mmmmm.... But your videos are like the Gita for me... The ultimate reference.....
I've been hoarse for more than two weeks from using my voice too much one weekend. I've been trying a lot of your exercises, but they aren't helping. I'll do some steaming tomorrow. I haven't used any of the harmful substances or lozenges.
I suggest that you have your voice checked. Having voice issues for more than 2 weeks and not seeing any improvements (even though you are trying) is a good reason to see a laryngologist (a special ENT doctor who can assess your voice and suggest solutions).
I have to sing a solo song tommorow and i have a little cold and i am coughing a bit. Hopefully eating hard candy for the throat,eating honey and drinking tea im ok by tommorow.
@@healthyvoicetips It went PERFECT. My voice was well again. Best performance of my life (i have very bad stage anxiety). I was performing un front of a few hundreds of people (in front of my whole school) and i perked up the crowd. Got the most cheers out of the whole concert. Thank you for the tips❤️
It's ok to sing with distortions as long as it is done in a healthy way. Your voice is telling you that your way may not be the best. Are you working with someone who knows how to teach distortions?
Thank u so much for all ur information on this video. I really needed it and also appreciate it as i have been dealing with hoarseness off and on for over a year due to allergies sinuses and colds. I also subscribe to ur channel. Thank u again so much!
Thank you Subrina and welcome to the channel. I am sorry to hear about your troubles with allergies. Do you have a good doctor who is helping you to find solutions?
I have cough, my throat is very itchy cause of cough. My hoarse voice is about 3 weeks now. I already take a lot of antibiotics but nothing works. I need my voice back cause we have a lot of gig this month. Please help! 😭😭😭
Focus on dealing with the cough. Based on the little information you provided, it seems you had some kind of infection that caused you to cough. Coughing can be harsh on the vocal folds and cause hoarseness. Speak to your doctor again to deal with the cough. Also, have your voice checked by a laryngologist if the hoarseness does not go away.
I have an indie kind of tone if you know what I mean. My voice is very airy when I sing. This causes a lot of friction in my vocal chords and almost every time after I sing I lose my voice or it’ll get very “raspy”. What can I do to prevent this? Btw thank you so much for these tips!
You are very welcome. Losing you voice after singing or being very raspy is a warning sign that you are constricting too much when singing. You can be breathy but still keep your voice healthy. Try to keep your throat open (false vocal folds open) by keeping a "silent laugh" when singing.
Hi Katarina,I would like to thank you from bottom of my heart.I had given rest to my voice and had drink lot of water.I am doing massage as recommend by you.Believe me it had changed my voice miraculously.Now I am satisfied with it.Lots of love from INDIA.
I have a unique scenario I used to be able to sing opera and now I can’t sing anything but alto and I miss my soprano singing falsetto I quit smoking cigarettes and meth in March and I always have had a fight your way through life kinda family so I always have yelled tell the point of not even being able to make a noise and I continued to yell and I just hate feeling trapped inside myself to not be able to sing anymore I don’t know if I just go to a regular doctor or what but I’ve come so far through so much turmoil and I hope I haven’t ruined my voice for good idk I just wanted your professional opinion cause nobody likes to say they use to use any kind of substance but I want to know if it’s even possible to achieve my old voice now idk if I stated everything correctly and I’m embarrassed to even say all this but I hope you get a chance to read and respond to me when you get the chance I’m sorry if I bugged you I’m going through so much after picking the pieces of myself back up and I feel like I’m losing the soul purpose I was born to be and pursue 😢
You are not bothering me. I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with all kinds of issues but I am happy to hear that you are finding solutions. With your voice, I recommend seeing a laryngologist for a voice assessment to know what solutions would be best for you. I wish you all the best. Don't give up!
I want to thank DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam for curing my throat nodules within 21days after I finish using his herbal remedies, I'm so Happy I came across with you .... 💕
That is so true! It is very difficult to take a few minutes just for yourself if you have to take care of other people! In this case, be creative - how can you find those few minutes to rest your voice? What can you do to find and dedicate that time to yourself? The answers may not be obvious but it is possible.
How much vocal effort are you using? Are you pushing too much breath through the vocal folds? What can you change in your singing to make it more sustainable?
I had been practicing vocal fry for some days and ever since my voice sounds hoarse and sharp , and it kinda sound very dirty especially when singing high notes.
Vocal fry is the most relaxed way of sound production possible. However, many people do it incorrectly and add constriction to the sound. If you do vocal fry in a healthy way, your voice cannot hurt or sound hoarse or sharp. I suggest that you stop doing it or consult someone who knows how to do it in a healthy way.
I wanted to ask you miss that I am just 14 y/o girl and my voice is like male voice I loosed my voice while eating ice and shouting too much and got Adam's apple. Even I can't go to doctor .How can I get my high piched voice back when I was 11-12? Please reply 😭
You wrote this 5 days ago. I hope your voice is feeling better. I would suggest that you monitor how loud you are speaking. And when shouting, don't do it for very long time. If your voice problem lasts for more than 2 weeks, then I would highly recommend that you see a doctor or at least talk to a trusted adult in your life to find a solution.
It is not uncommon to shiver when singing in public. It's your nerves. I would suggest that you start singing in front of a person that you trust. Just one person and one song. Then, when you get more comfortable in front of this person, then sing in front of another trusted friend. As you get more comfortable singing in front of small groups of familiar people, you can then try to sing in front of large audiences. However, this is a process and it may take some time. The more you sing in front of people, the better.
Hi Alayah! I am sorry to hear that you are sick. The first step in dealing with a hoarse voice is to deal with the primary infection - whatever you may have. Lots of fluids, sleep or rest, and maybe a hot shower so that you can inhale warm steam (if you don't have a personal steamer). I don't think you can really prevent sneezing and it may be very difficult to stop coughing too right now. Try to sip warm tea throughout the day to help with swallowing the extra mucus that is produced in your throat and nose right now. Good nasal hygiene can also help. Honey in tea apparently can help to decrease coughing too. Try and see if it helps. And if you need medication, then talk to your doctor. I hope that your infection will go away in a few days! Hoarseness should go away too once your infection is resolved. Good luck.
Yes, it is relevant. I would also add that dealing with the cough is a priority - consult your doctor or find the best ways to deal with the cough. Resolving the cough may lead to resolving of the hoarseness.
Ahhh! I have an audition for a theatre production in a few days! I have to sing, and speak quite a lot for the audition… what do I do? Will my voice be healed by 5 days?
I don't know if it will be healed. But give it your best shot - hydrate well, steam, rest, do gentle vocal exercises (if the voice feels ok), and stay positive!
The best way to hydrate is only with cell food, minerals. Add potassium and celtic salt to your water. Plain water doesn't hydrate. Also, apple cider vinegar is powerfully healing and hydrating.
Yes, that is true. Vocal nodules and polyps are structural changes on the vocal folds that can cause hoarseness. In this case, people who have such changes on the vocal folds need to work with voice specialists to find the right solution for them.
Hey mam plz help i was damaged my vocal cord by singing with fake deeper voice. I can't talk and sing well. My doctor said my vocal cord are congested. He told me my cords doesn’t vibrate well and told vocal exercise will recover me. What does Vocal Cord congested mean? I want to know! He advised me speech therapy and i am going with it. Thank you mam! I really appreciative your efforts❤
I have heard other people talking about "congested vocal folds". However, I don't use this term so I am not sure exactly what your doctor meant. Maybe you can ask him for explanation. But my guess would be that your vocal folds are swollen from the vocal abuse. I would definitely suggest working with a voice therapist who will help you!
I am sorry to hear about your voice problems. How long have you had hoarseness? You say it's chronic, meaning more than 2-3 months, then I would recommend talking to your doctor and visiting a voice specialist (ENT who can do laryngoscopy and videostroboscopy) to see what is going on with your vocal folds.
I was being having a good and attractive voice till 18yrs.But just because of my loud reading habbit I had lost that beauty to an extent.But now I think that u can guide me and help me to get off this problem.Please reply and give me your suggestions.
Can you tell me more about your voice problems? What is your voice like? What improves it? What makes it worse? Any pain? Are you a voice professional? How much talking/singing do you do throughout the day?
I am an MBA student.We engage in many seminars,debate and group discussion which might result into harder voice probably.As I practice for this too much in a louder voice.May excess practice had changed voice.
I think it's over practicing which had turned my soft voice into hard.I think I should talk less and should avoid to practice in a louder voice.Is this much information is enough madam.
Yes, loud talking or talking for prolonged periods of time can lead to voice problems. When you are engaged in discussions, you may be using very emotionally charged voice too, which may cause some straining and pushing. If you've had these problems for more than 2 weeks, I recommend that you speak to a voice specialist who can see you vocal folds and assess what is going on inside your larynx. I wish you all the best.
Ma'm,if I am singing at the morning time than I can sing more higher so easily but after noon or at evening I cant sing on that higher registers that I can sing in the morning.I don't know why this happens.can you please tell me how to get out of this situation.
I cannot tell for sure, but you may be using your voice in a way that causes inflammation of the vocal folds. When vocal folds become slightly inflamed, they become thicker and therefore high register is most affected. Maybe you use your voice too much, or you use too much muscle effort, or you clear your throat, or you are exposed to environmental irritants ... There are many reasons why this is happening. So, I would recommend visiting a voice specialist and have your voice properly assessed, including a very detailed voice history to find the cause of your problem. Once you know the cause, you can either eliminate it or treat it. I wish you all the best.
Hi katarina I’ve had a hoarse voice for a few days now, I’ve been to the doctors and they have said that I have a sinus infection and need to use a sinus spray twice a day, what natural remedies would you recommend?
Hi @Cameron Garbett, if it is an infection, it has to run its course. Just follow the recommendations of your doctors. Use the sinus spray. Hydrate well with water or tea (you can add lemon, honey, ginger or whatever you can tolerate and like). If you can steam your voice that would be a bonus. Don't forget to sleep enough because your body needs rest to fight the infection. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Im not having allergies, but I haven't sung in a month and a half, ive sung times here and there, but it's always kind abeen that way, and my voice has always improved regardless, but today when I was singing with my instrument, my voice suddenly felt like there was mucus in the back of my throat, but I've cleared my throat, it didn't work, my voice was still hoarse, and lower, could this be due to dehydration?
I really don't know. It could be dehydration. In that case, hydrate well and see if the symptoms go away. However, dehydration does not cause lasting changes. If you have voice problems for more than two weeks, I would recommend visiting a specialist to see what is going on with your voice.
Thank you for watching! What is your first line of defence when you have a hoarse voice? Medications, lozenges, honey? Let me know?
I would definitely say lozenges
what about if your voice is natrually deep n rough
can't use honey allergy to it
Lozenges :)
steamer, lozenges, and vocal resting.

Rest is important. Especially when you cough. Coughing brings vocal folds together in a very forceful way and prolonged coughing can damage them. So take a break from talking and if you can, suppress your cough.

@@healthyvoicetips i have the same issues.. i do normal vocal training.. and tried straw training too( but that worsen my horseness in sound)
I had a very smooth voice. But now, it hurts whenever I talk and it's all breathy and weak. I feel like somthing is clicking in my throat. I'm going to talk to my doctor, because it didn't go away for almost two months.
Singing has always played a huge role in my life. I don't remember a day, when I didn't sing. I was in a school choir and I had a great techique. I had no clue, that somday It'll be taken away from me.
I wanted to improve, so I got myself a teacher. At first it was nice. But after a couple weeks, I started to feel my voice slowly getting weaker. It took more and more effort to sing, how she wanted me to. I feel like I was always too quiet for her.
And now here I am, without the only thing, that's ever made me feel worthy.
I think you made a good decision. Go and see a doctor to see what is happening with your vocal folds.
Hey, did you manage to resolve it or any updates please ? Going through similar
For some reason I keep getting horse out of nowhere. And I was able to singer more clear,but now it sounds airy
How long has this been going?
Chewing raw ginger, Nin Jiom herb infused honey, Slippery Elm Throat Coat Tea, ginger tea, Fisherman Friends original and Recola Original - I do McCartney professionally and it is tough.

I want to thank DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam for curing my throat nodules within 21days after I finish using his herbal remedies, I'm so Happy I came across with you .... 💕
I’m a smoker but I love to sing and thinking of voice lessons at a local music place.
Do you have a hoarse voice?
I am a teacher but l always have hoarse voice and aometimes my voice will not come out and most often it sounds always always not going out
It is very common for teachers to have voice problems. As you are having troubles talking, I would suggest that you visit a specialist so that he or she can look at your vocal folds and assess their structure and function. Then, you can get appropriate advice on how to manage your voice problems.
I would mix a large tsp of honey and some lemon juice in boiling water and sip
Thank you for sharing.
Great advice for singers suffering with the winter flu bugs -
Thank you for stopping by. This advice is actually good for any voice user (aren't we all voice users?).
Ive had a hoarseness for almost 2 years. I had severe covid and they had to intubate me for a few days. When it was pulled out, it wasnt very gently. I'm on a worship team, and what I used to sing I cant anymore. I no longer can find my range. 😢 Ive seen an ENT, who recommended shots or speech therapy. I chose therapy. Ive done that for about a year total. Im very discouraged and frustrated.
Thank you
I am very sorry to hear that you are dealing with voice issues. Yes, intubation can really affect the function of the vocal folds. If you are not progressing in your healing, I suggest that you visit the ENT again a inquire about other options. I am not sure what your vocal folds look like or how they function but that would be good to know when deciding about the next steps. I wish you all the best.
@@healthyvoicetips Thank you so much!
I sip lemon water. I take the two cough meds in Mucinex---guaifenisin (sp?) and dextromethorphan, and also Benedryl. I breathe my Vicks vaporub scent, and most other drinks I DON'T do. I don't think this is nodes, but I just have a fit with what seems to be phlegm coating my vocal cords or occluding my bronchus. I try warm ups, but sometimes that takes all I've got... And I 'lean' on the microphone. But I have special music tomorrow and the song has a number of held notes---a couple of measures. Honey maybe, but I am diabetic, still... And I pray to be a blessing!
I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with voice troubles, especially when you need it the most. I was wondering if you saw a laryngologist for a voice assessment. They may be able to suggest solutions for you.
Hot water with a concoction of Tumeric, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, slice of lime and honey. Plus a touch of green cardamom and cloves.
Thank you for sharing!
I am really worried about my singing voice. I have been a singer for many years and over the summer I had a series of bookings close together . After one of them I felt I had over used my voice. Now, two months later I feel I cannot reach the notes I usually can. When I sing for a short time, even if just warming up my neck and through feel dry and tired. :(
Hi Whispering Jim, I am really sorry to hear that you have been worried about your voice. My recommendation is to see a voice specialist, one that can do laryngeal videostroboscopy. It is an examination that will show you and the doctor what exactly is going on with your vocal folds. This is recommended to anyone who has vocal issues lasting more than two weeks. So you definitely fall into this category. If you know what exactly is happening, you can deal with the problem and lessen your worries. If you have any other questions, let me know.
I had never thought of the adverse effects of drugs on your voice! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely. Drugs have effects on your voice. I should make a video about it too! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for this video! Everything is very easy to understand and is shown/presented clearly ❤️❤️
I am glad you found the video clear and helpful! I appreciate your feedback.
I have a competition today. I got a throat infection a few days back. I still have a thick voice due to the infection. I worked really hard for the competition I’ll definitely try these methods. As I really want to win
How did the competition go? And how is your voice feeling?
I am so discouraged I like to sing and my voice is staying hoarse i got hoarse in January from allergies and it’s July and I feel well but I’m still hoarse ...
Having a hoarse voice is no fun. I have seen so many people who are really frustrated. But the only way to help is to really see what is going on with your vocal folds. Have you visited a voice specialist who can actually see your vocal folds while producing sounds? Allergies are often a cause of hoarse voice, therefore, speaking to an allergologist is also important. I know that it may be difficult to manage allergies and it may take some time. Talk to your allergologist and tell him about your hoarseness. It is possible that some of your meds can be contributing to your hoarse voice. Good luck.
Katarina H I went to a ear nose throat doctor and he did a nasal test and looked at my sinuses and said I had some drainage but he really elaborate on that and he also did a cat scan of my throat and said everything looked fine there so he sent me home with nasal spray have you ever heard of acid reflux causing hoarseness ?
I went to a vitamin store and suggested for me to try natural orange pill vitamin for acid reflux and my voice is doing some better but still not completely well and it’s been nine days since I started the natural vitamin
Yes, acid reflux is a very common cause of hoarseness. Just imagine, your stomach juices that are very acidic coming into contact with the delicate structures of your vocal folds. Very common.
Recently through prayer I feel that The SPIRIT OF THE LORD lead me (I’m Christian) to understand what was happening with my voice that may help you too. Your room or your house may have mold or pollen... some allergen that is drying your vocal cords. Open your windows and let the air flow if you live in the warm weather... new filters on your air conditioner and air purifiers. GOD bless!
Katarina, this is such an important subject
It is. Thank you for your comment!
can someone help me to get rid of hoarse voice and it really pissed me off 😔😑 im not a professional singer but i do always love to sing as a church servant. 😭😭😭
First step is to have your voice properly evaluated by a laryngologist.
Yes, I take a spoonful of raw honey usually but warm water or hot tea always feels good too.
Raw honey, warm water or tea are great options!!!
Thank you so much you are the only one on youtube 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
That is very kind but last time I checked, there are many more people here 😉
have a cold and was signing to pearl jam all day my voice has gone crazy
Colds and singing for too long (for what you are used to) are common causes of hoarseness. Is your voice better now?
God Bless your Soul. Thank You😇.
Thank you too!
Honey I tried.. It helps.. Black tea with honey and pepper is a bit helping.. Steaming a bit helpful.. Voice rest...cinnamom, licorice or sweet wood chewing are kind of my ways.. Low humming of Om sound like mmmmm.... But your videos are like the Gita for me... The ultimate reference.....
Thank you for sharing your experience and your kind words.
Thank you stay blessed.
Thank you!
Very nice teaching, thank you ma'am for good advicing....😍🙏
Thank you for your kind words.
When I speak or sing with a low tone my voice is so hoarse but when I go higher is perfectly normal... btw i have GERD maybe that's the reason
I've been hoarse for more than two weeks from using my voice too much one weekend. I've been trying a lot of your exercises, but they aren't helping. I'll do some steaming tomorrow. I haven't used any of the harmful substances or lozenges.
I suggest that you have your voice checked. Having voice issues for more than 2 weeks and not seeing any improvements (even though you are trying) is a good reason to see a laryngologist (a special ENT doctor who can assess your voice and suggest solutions).
I have to sing a solo song tommorow and i have a little cold and i am coughing a bit. Hopefully eating hard candy for the throat,eating honey and drinking tea im ok by tommorow.
HI Anete, you left a message 3 days ago. How was your solo?
@@healthyvoicetips It went PERFECT. My voice was well again. Best performance of my life (i have very bad stage anxiety). I was performing un front of a few hundreds of people (in front of my whole school) and i perked up the crowd. Got the most cheers out of the whole concert. Thank you for the tips❤️

"Hi and welcome." off who says that anymore, i just say "Whats up"
Well, I say Hi and welcome. I guess I am the "old generation". When I ask my son "what's up?" he tell me: "The ceiling".
@@healthyvoicetips you are so cute
Thanks. I sing high notes with distortion and after a while I get hoarse and it becomes harder to hit the same notes.
It's ok to sing with distortions as long as it is done in a healthy way. Your voice is telling you that your way may not be the best. Are you working with someone who knows how to teach distortions?
Thank u so much for all ur information on this video. I really needed it and also appreciate it as i have been dealing with hoarseness off and on for over a year due to allergies sinuses and colds. I also subscribe to ur channel. Thank u again so much!
Thank you Subrina and welcome to the channel. I am sorry to hear about your troubles with allergies. Do you have a good doctor who is helping you to find solutions?
tnk u for this. 😍 very nicely explained 😍
I am glad you liked it, Jay. If you have any questions, let me know.
I have a hoarse voice without infection but sometimes I sing so clearly. How do I keep my voice ready to sing all the time?
I have cough, my throat is very itchy cause of cough. My hoarse voice is about 3 weeks now. I already take a lot of antibiotics but nothing works. I need my voice back cause we have a lot of gig this month. Please help! 😭😭😭
Focus on dealing with the cough. Based on the little information you provided, it seems you had some kind of infection that caused you to cough. Coughing can be harsh on the vocal folds and cause hoarseness. Speak to your doctor again to deal with the cough. Also, have your voice checked by a laryngologist if the hoarseness does not go away.
So calmm ...i love you
😉❤
Another great video!! Thanks Katarina!
Thank you Ron! I am glad you liked it!
Very clear, thanks!
Thank you! If you have any questions, let me know!
I have an indie kind of tone if you know what I mean. My voice is very airy when I sing. This causes a lot of friction in my vocal chords and almost every time after I sing I lose my voice or it’ll get very “raspy”. What can I do to prevent this? Btw thank you so much for these tips!
You are very welcome. Losing you voice after singing or being very raspy is a warning sign that you are constricting too much when singing. You can be breathy but still keep your voice healthy. Try to keep your throat open (false vocal folds open) by keeping a "silent laugh" when singing.
Yeah, whenever I sing my voice just kinda stops, its strange
Have you tried to change the way you sing?
My voice is currently hoarse. If I continue to smoke my vape would that be considered "steaming"?
Good question but I would say no!
I am going to try it from today onwards.If there would be any improvement then definitely I will inform you.
Hi Reshma, how are you doing? How is your voice?
Hi Katarina,I would like to thank you from bottom of my heart.I had given rest to my voice and had drink lot of water.I am doing massage as recommend by you.Believe me it had changed my voice miraculously.Now I am satisfied with it.Lots of love from INDIA.
Hi Reshma, I am glad that the advice worked for you! I am sending love to India. Keep your voice healthy!

You are not bothering me. I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with all kinds of issues but I am happy to hear that you are finding solutions. With your voice, I recommend seeing a laryngologist for a voice assessment to know what solutions would be best for you. I wish you all the best. Don't give up!

Vocal rest sigh ……. I have a 10 year old and a 2 year old. Both boys by the way
That is so true! It is very difficult to take a few minutes just for yourself if you have to take care of other people! In this case, be creative - how can you find those few minutes to rest your voice? What can you do to find and dedicate that time to yourself? The answers may not be obvious but it is possible.
For me just one song and my voice is gone 😢😢😢
How much vocal effort are you using? Are you pushing too much breath through the vocal folds? What can you change in your singing to make it more sustainable?
Thanks for sharing this! I know some people I can share this with!
Hey Mike, thank you for stopping by and for sharing it with people who could benefit from this video.
I had been practicing vocal fry for some days and ever since my voice sounds hoarse and sharp , and it kinda sound very dirty especially when singing high notes.
Vocal fry is the most relaxed way of sound production possible. However, many people do it incorrectly and add constriction to the sound. If you do vocal fry in a healthy way, your voice cannot hurt or sound hoarse or sharp. I suggest that you stop doing it or consult someone who knows how to do it in a healthy way.
Very well. 👍. So anything you would suggest to cure this hoarseness?
I can now speak like tharon
Is that a good thing or not?
Hot toddy is number one treatment
Thank you for sharing.
another great video! thank you for this
Hi and thank you Ortal! Glad you liked it.
I wanted to ask you miss that I am just 14 y/o girl and my voice is like male voice I loosed my voice while eating ice and shouting too much and got Adam's apple. Even I can't go to doctor .How can I get my high piched voice back when I was 11-12? Please reply 😭
You wrote this 5 days ago. I hope your voice is feeling better. I would suggest that you monitor how loud you are speaking. And when shouting, don't do it for very long time. If your voice problem lasts for more than 2 weeks, then I would highly recommend that you see a doctor or at least talk to a trusted adult in your life to find a solution.
Your amazing
Hi Rayon! What a lovely comment. Thank you!
I've been practicing singing too much
When your voice gets hoarse, you know that you did too much. Practice strategically.
My voice is deep I can reach some high notes but if I have a hoarse voice it becomes deeper ;--;
Just make sure that you are using your voice in a healthy way even in your lower range. By the way, I like low voices!
@@healthyvoicetips Thanks💜
Hey i am an religious orator and i have voice problem
Have you seen a voice specialist? It is common to have vocal issues as a religious orator.
@@healthyvoicetips dear plz suggest me something that my voice never goes hoarse
Everyone says that I have good voice but I shiver when I sing. Please suggest me a way to get a open voice n avoid shivering while singing pls mam
It is not uncommon to shiver when singing in public. It's your nerves. I would suggest that you start singing in front of a person that you trust. Just one person and one song. Then, when you get more comfortable in front of this person, then sing in front of another trusted friend. As you get more comfortable singing in front of small groups of familiar people, you can then try to sing in front of large audiences. However, this is a process and it may take some time. The more you sing in front of people, the better.
I found this very helpful but I am sick and find it very hard to stop coughing and sneezing
Hi Alayah! I am sorry to hear that you are sick. The first step in dealing with a hoarse voice is to deal with the primary infection - whatever you may have. Lots of fluids, sleep or rest, and maybe a hot shower so that you can inhale warm steam (if you don't have a personal steamer). I don't think you can really prevent sneezing and it may be very difficult to stop coughing too right now. Try to sip warm tea throughout the day to help with swallowing the extra mucus that is produced in your throat and nose right now. Good nasal hygiene can also help. Honey in tea apparently can help to decrease coughing too. Try and see if it helps. And if you need medication, then talk to your doctor. I hope that your infection will go away in a few days! Hoarseness should go away too once your infection is resolved. Good luck.
My voice is hoarse by birth . I wanted to change this and I ended up here . Will this help me as well ?
Not sure Sameera, I would check with your doctor and have your voice properly assessed.
Is this video relevant for a singer who has a sickness of cough? Because I’ve been coughing a lot and I miss singing 😭
Yes, it is relevant. I would also add that dealing with the cough is a priority - consult your doctor or find the best ways to deal with the cough. Resolving the cough may lead to resolving of the hoarseness.
Ahhh! I have an audition for a theatre production in a few days! I have to sing, and speak quite a lot for the audition… what do I do? Will my voice be healed by 5 days?
I don't know if it will be healed. But give it your best shot - hydrate well, steam, rest, do gentle vocal exercises (if the voice feels ok), and stay positive!
The best way to hydrate is only with cell food, minerals. Add potassium and celtic salt to your water. Plain water doesn't hydrate.
Also, apple cider vinegar is powerfully healing and hydrating.
Thank you Eve for your comment.
@@healthyvoicetips thank you too, really enjoy your channel ❤🎤🎶
What about people who are hoarse all the time? Isn't it because of bunions or pollips on the vocal tract?
Yes, that is true. Vocal nodules and polyps are structural changes on the vocal folds that can cause hoarseness. In this case, people who have such changes on the vocal folds need to work with voice specialists to find the right solution for them.
Hey mam plz help i was damaged my vocal cord by singing with fake deeper voice. I can't talk and sing well. My doctor said my vocal cord are congested. He told me my cords doesn’t vibrate well and told vocal exercise will recover me. What does Vocal Cord congested mean? I want to know! He advised me speech therapy and i am going with it. Thank you mam! I really appreciative your efforts❤
I have heard other people talking about "congested vocal folds". However, I don't use this term so I am not sure exactly what your doctor meant. Maybe you can ask him for explanation. But my guess would be that your vocal folds are swollen from the vocal abuse. I would definitely suggest working with a voice therapist who will help you!
@@healthyvoicetips Thank you mam

I have a Chronic hoarseness ..... I'm so sad what do i needs to do ??????
I am sorry to hear about your voice problems. How long have you had hoarseness? You say it's chronic, meaning more than 2-3 months, then I would recommend talking to your doctor and visiting a voice specialist (ENT who can do laryngoscopy and videostroboscopy) to see what is going on with your vocal folds.
I wish I could sing the way I was used to be , I feel so useles😞😒
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling sad. What are you doing to improve your voice?
I was being having a good and attractive voice till 18yrs.But just because of my loud reading habbit I had lost that beauty to an extent.But now I think that u can guide me and help me to get off this problem.Please reply and give me your suggestions.
Can you tell me more about your voice problems? What is your voice like? What improves it? What makes it worse? Any pain? Are you a voice professional? How much talking/singing do you do throughout the day?
I am an MBA student.We engage in many seminars,debate and group discussion which might result into harder voice probably.As I practice for this too much in a louder voice.May excess practice had changed voice.
I think it's over practicing which had turned my soft voice into hard.I think I should talk less and should avoid to practice in a louder voice.Is this much information is enough madam.
Yes, loud talking or talking for prolonged periods of time can lead to voice problems. When you are engaged in discussions, you may be using very emotionally charged voice too, which may cause some straining and pushing. If you've had these problems for more than 2 weeks, I recommend that you speak to a voice specialist who can see you vocal folds and assess what is going on inside your larynx. I wish you all the best.
Great tips as always!
Thank you Britanny! I appreciate your feedback.
Ma'm,if I am singing at the morning time than I can sing more higher so easily but after noon or at evening I cant sing on that higher registers that I can sing in the morning.I don't know why this happens.can you please tell me how to get out of this situation.
I cannot tell for sure, but you may be using your voice in a way that causes inflammation of the vocal folds. When vocal folds become slightly inflamed, they become thicker and therefore high register is most affected. Maybe you use your voice too much, or you use too much muscle effort, or you clear your throat, or you are exposed to environmental irritants ... There are many reasons why this is happening. So, I would recommend visiting a voice specialist and have your voice properly assessed, including a very detailed voice history to find the cause of your problem. Once you know the cause, you can either eliminate it or treat it. I wish you all the best.
I have one swellon vocal card ,can it be cured mam
It depends on the cause of the swelling.

Hi katarina
I’ve had a hoarse voice for a few days now, I’ve been to the doctors and they have said that I have a sinus infection and need to use a sinus spray twice a day, what natural remedies would you recommend?
Hi @Cameron Garbett, if it is an infection, it has to run its course. Just follow the recommendations of your doctors. Use the sinus spray. Hydrate well with water or tea (you can add lemon, honey, ginger or whatever you can tolerate and like). If you can steam your voice that would be a bonus. Don't forget to sleep enough because your body needs rest to fight the infection. I wish you a speedy recovery.
@@healthyvoicetips But wouldn't lemon or acidic foods affect the vocal cords by triggering acid reflux
Im not having allergies, but I haven't sung in a month and a half, ive sung times here and there, but it's always kind abeen that way, and my voice has always improved regardless, but today when I was singing with my instrument, my voice suddenly felt like there was mucus in the back of my throat, but I've cleared my throat, it didn't work, my voice was still hoarse, and lower, could this be due to dehydration?
I really don't know. It could be dehydration. In that case, hydrate well and see if the symptoms go away. However, dehydration does not cause lasting changes. If you have voice problems for more than two weeks, I would recommend visiting a specialist to see what is going on with your voice.
