Kate's Voice

Just a quick note today as football season gets in motion.  Bottom line:  Yelling just isn’t good for your voice.  I know you want to show support for your team,  but it really is possible to damage your voice with just one scream, or one too many for those with tougher vocal cords.  So, take it easy.  If you value the health of your voice, wave your arms, stomp your feet, whistle, jump up and down, but leave the screaming to others.  And if you do find that you have forgotten this sage advice and yelled anyway, here’s what to do to recover:

1. rest your voice as much as possible
2. raise your speaking voice to take some of the stress off of it while it heals
3. and drink lots of warm or room temperature liquids, instead of iced drinks.
