Hello Kendall,
In the past I've defined myself by my job, & now feel that was a mistake. I'm aiming for a better balance nowadays. I expect you know far more about this than I do, but is there any chance your lost voice is down to winter colds & throat infections ??? IF it is, steamy baths, time & the advice of your local pharmacist may just help. . The first time I lost my voice I was 8 and due to play the Angel Gabriel that afternoon in the school Nativity play. Good luck . H
