Vocal Loading - Voice Care

Voice Care

Regularly, the question arises of how one should use one's voice to minimise tiring in the vocal organs. This is encompassed in the study of vocology, the science and practice of voice habilitation. Basically, a normal, relaxed way of speech is the optimal method for voice production, in both speech and singing. Any excess force used when speaking will increase tiring. The speaker should drink enough water and the air humidity level should be normal or higher. No background noise should be present or, if not possible, the voice should be amplified. Smoking is discouraged.

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or care:

    I’m tired of earning my own living, paying my own bills, raising my own child.

It’s so hard to be a feminist if you are a woman.
    Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 7 (1980)

    I don’t mind their having a lot of money, and I don’t care how they employ it,
    But I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.
