Vocal Chord Disasters:  3 scenarios

Case 1
One professional vocalist in Iowa complaining of hoarseness thought that he had developed laryngitis.  When he finally was seen by an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat specialist), cancer was diagnosed on the vocal chords.  Now, a single vocal pitch problem was the only symptom of a malignant and life threatening situation.  Is your vocal instructor equipped to warn you of the dangers and risks of poor vocal health?  By the way, it was KrisAdora who performed the strobe observation to discover this mass on the vocalist and have the ENT to make a firm diagnosis.

Case 2
In another case, a popular performer learned of my presence nearly 10 years ago in the music industry at a southern music conference.  He nearly backslammed me against the wall to report that 2 doctors in California had predicted that we would need surgery and never sing again.  They also told him his upcoming album deal was a waste of time and energy because of his 1 vocal nodule and 1 polyp on his vocal chords.  He was told to not sing or record for 9 months, and until after surgery.  He had never seen a voice therapist until I informed him of the care and attention we offer the singing world.  His hope was revived when he learned maximum improvement could be achieved without surgery, and certainly a year not go to waste.

Case 3
A world-wide known female vocalist was informed by her physician that she would never hit her high notes again.  With knowledge of her vocal abuse and misuse I poured into her, she not only avoided permanent damage, but following KrisAdora’s daily vocal regime, she was able to have the best voice ever, without surgery for 5 steady years.  Voice therapy is an absolute must for consideration above 80% of all voice disorder cases for preventative and non-surgical methods of treatment.  No surgery will ever leave the voice in its exact condition prior to disease/injury.

Some of you will never have a voice problem in your life, but for the remaining 80% of you, you’ll cancel a gig/concert/ministry assignment at some point due to your voice.
