What Are
the Risks?
We spend lots of time here at The Daily Tip on
relaxing, breathing and not pushing the voice. Why? Well,
other than it just works the best that way, there are actually
significant dangers to the voice from not relaxing and using enough
air. Pushing, and trying to sing too much when the voice actually
could use some rest are vocally dangerous and can cause every singers’
nightmare: nodes. So what are nodes? They are small
blisters or polyps that form on the delicate vocal folds from repeated
misuse of the voice. Think of a nodule as a callus that you
get from slamming your vocal folds together too many times. Nodes
are really dangerous to the voice! You don’t want to get them,
and they are pretty arduous to recover from. If something feels
uncomfortable vocally, don’t do it! Don’t push, don’t try to sing
without using enough air, and overall, be nice to your voice.
If you are nice to your voice, it will be nice back to you and the
people that hear you.
