VOICE MISUSE

When you misuse your voice, you can put excessive strain on your speaking apparatus, resulting in strained or hoarse voice quality, chronic laryngitis, or even vocal cord nodules, polyps, and contact ulcers.   With professional training, you can learn to use your natural speaking voice to its full potential.
