Those of you out there who may know me will be taunting me right now by saying, "What singing voice?"
But seriously, ever since my last cold/flu when I lost my voice, when I try to sing my voice cracks. I keep waiting, wondering when my singing voice will come back because not being able to sing is beginning to depress me. Even though I'm not going to ever play Madison Square Garden, or be onstage at The Met, or Grand Ole Opry, when I sing I feel as if I'm connected to something greater than myself. And, I don't mean singing the children's songs that are mandated to be playing in the background in the classrooms in preschool (though some of them really do speak to me!). Oftentimes, my creativity flows through song. Songs can sooth sadness, diffuse an explosive situation, combat depression, make others laugh or smile and generally help nurture good-feeling. So while searching the internet for remedies or possible things to try, I came across this post on a forum for singers. "Just recently I found out about how to open the throat while singing, and I've found that if I do I can bellow away for hours without getting throat strain, while if I don't my voice can crack up after one loud song. A trick for doing it I got from a book, and it works for me - move your lower jaw so that the top and bottom front teeth are lined up, then do a wide grin, still clenching the teeth together loosely; then move the teeth apart, still lining them up front teeth above front teeth. Do this a few times, and you learn to make the relevant jaw movements, so that the larynx is opened up, and you can do it without going through the daft execise with the fixed grin. Only drawback with this (apart from feeling a right lemon) is that it tends to make the voice a little bit more smooth and "musical", and some vocal styles really need a tight voice box."(McGrath of Harlow) Well, I tried it. And, it felt weird. However, I can say that my voice didn't crack. I didn't sound like myself but it gave me hope that maybe I still have working vocal chords. McGrath of Harlow.
