Michael Harrison Throat Problems (30) RE: Throat Problems 09 Jun 09


Well, I don't have much to say, but I find that I have throat problems every day - and I'm currently doing a one-hour show five or six days a week. I end up adjusting my shows to accomodate how my throat is working on any given day.

It would seem to me that if you are getting a sore throat you "may," and I emphasize the word, "may," be singing from your throat and not getting enough air, etc. I say this not knowing who you are, or having any idea how you sing. An interesting thought is that I recently conducted a folk sing-a-long and some of the response from the "thank you" notes included not only what a great time they had, but that they had a sore throat the next day - but didn't care.

I've done the "doc" thing and was told that reflux is my problem and is placing a toll on my esophagus and throat - so I do zantac, etc. If you haven't already, you might try going to a vocal instructor who specializes in technique to determine if you are doing all of the "right" things in your delivery. One would think that if you are doing all of the right things then it might be a physical problem that a doctor can resolve or advise on. Good luck,....mwh
