Subject: RE: Help: Singers and laryngitis
The voice is like any other muscle - needs exercise - the choir had to help. I agree with "plenty of liquids." Just plain old water works well for me. Strange that you are just beginning to have this problem. It happened to me about 17 or 18 years ago - suddenly became allergic to environmental elements (dust, pollen, etc.). Found that turning the furnace on for the first time wreaked havoc with me. Could be other changes in life are occuring - any hot flashes? Cold ones(flashes, that is)? It could even be that you've moved to a new place - made other changes (job?). I once had an office that was horrible - blew dusty hot air down on me from the ceiling. Yuk! Just keep singing a little every night!
