Voice Care Tip 1

Many people understand how sounding good can help with many aspects of life, and my work helps you to do this. Another key aspect of my work is to teach people how to look after their voices so that they can continue to sound good and keep their voices healthy and strong. They also know when they need to seek medical support for their voice. Follow these voice tips I will be sharing over the next few weeks to get more information on what you can do to take good care of your voice - and firstly - the most important one....

Hoarseness is not part of ANY job.

A few years ago, I began this voice care series on social media and people asked more questions about it and got involved. It became a really useful resource so I will be sharing it again this year, in bite-sized and larger-sized chunks - because I care very strongly that people have access to this information - how do I care for my voice when using it all day!? 

This series of voice care tips help you get the best out of your voice by looking after it. The idea came about as every October time people start to get sick with colds and often sore throats and many people plough on regardless of the pain they're in not knowing what they can do to help themselves. 

The first one...' Hoarseness is not part of any job'. 

Listen to your body and visit your GP if you have any concerns about your voice at all, especially if you are using your voice frequently within your job. Hoarseness is not part of ANY job. If you have had issues or discomfort in your voice lasting for more than 2 weeks, including after a cough or cold, do get medical advice if you are worried or unsure. 

Some examples of voice changes can include things such as:

• a change in pitch, quality of volume
• voice starting to sound rough, breathy, harsh or quiet
• anything that isn't usual for your voice - changes in sensation for example
• all the above can occur with or without pain
