Thanks, Aggie, that recipe sounds very soothing -- and pretty yummy, too.

I've had some theatrical-type voice training, just not the singing kind, so I usually do a good job of relaxing & projecting well. I just let myself get stressed out and lost it. If I were more experienced, I could have handled it better, but, hey, at least I was GETTING some. :) I can't promise it won't happen again, but technically I *should* know better next time.

I do want to find a good teacher (who will no doubt point out that I have about a million other vocal problems) but any more extracurricular activities will have to wait until the fall when I have some time to devote to the project.

I know there's no formula to judge how long it will take to heal -- but how do I know it's safe to start those low & easy vocalizations Stewart is talking about?
