Problems that can Affect the Human Voice Such As Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD), Allergies, Asthma and also Fibromyalgia

Below are some of the many problems that can negatively affect the human voice.

Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD): 

Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) happens when the vocal cords are unable to open properly. This is also referred to as paradoxical vocal fold movement. VCD occurs on a parallel level with allergies and asthma as their symptoms are often interconnected. 
 
With VCD, the vocal cords close instead of opening up, when you breathe in and out. This closure of your vocal cords makes it harder to get air in and out of your lungs. 
 
Signs and symptoms of VCD: 
  • Feeling short of breath
  • Frequent cough or clearing of your throat
  • Inability to speak loudly and thus project the sound of your voice
  • Breathy voice
  • Choking or coughing while having your meal
  • Limited pitch and volume fluctuations while speaking or singing
  • Voice production that can last only for a certain period of time, thus, in turn, it becomes very inconsistent

Here is our Speech and Singing Voice Repair Client Tory Jax from Wisconsin, USA:

The Happy Jax Family (Tim, Tory & Stacy)

Previously, Tory had been a sufferer of Asthma and VCD (Vocal Cord Dysfunction) for several years. 

Under our care, she was treated and nevertheless, cured within 8 consecutive days over 40 + 5 hours of instruction and treatment. 

Tory was undertaking our famous Super Accelerated Voice/Vocal Immersion Course, coupled with natural herbal and some homeopathic treatments.  

Given the above, her speech and singing voice had soared to a nearly professional level. 

Please see below Tory’s videos and a few testimonials, which led her to (musically) prosper to a much higher level than she could have ever dreamt. 

Way to go Tory. 

Keep on rockin’ girl!

Allergies:

Allergies are a dysfunction of the immune system and the excess amount of mucous in the tissues. Our holistic approach to dealing with these problems is designed to boost the immune system to its maximum capacity. We suggest that the sufferer to do a full cleanse of the body in order to, first of all, get rid of the excess mucous. Once it’s done, the clarity of the voice is no longer an issue and, if the person is aware of how to use the voice correctly, the problem will get remedied. 

Upper Respiratory Disorder:

Upper respiratory disorders can have an evident effect on the voice. Once the bronchioles and the lungs are congested and, then become almost closed, the voice has a restricted passageway to come out to the surface. Needless to say, our approach to dealing with upper respiratory disorders is revolutionary, holistic and non-surgical.

Fibromyalgia:

What is Fibromyalgia & how can it affect your voice?

Fibromyalgia often occurs as a result of severe muscle tension while incorrectly speaking or singing. Once the voice is freed up and flown above and on top of the physical body, consequently the posture of a speaker or singer is corrected and the tension of the neck and upper and lower back is released, thus, the problem is eliminated naturally.

Unfortunately, after becoming a singing DJ, our singing Student Charlene Roy developed Fibromyalgia. 
Luckily she was trained so well by us that it did not affect the quality of her voice per se, but of course affected her physical body, which is also connected to the voice at all levels. 
Her son who was also my student at some point in time, Jordan Roy, ended up singing for a local band in Chatham-Kent Ontario. 
He, unfortunately, acquired muscle tension dysphonia during his ordeals with his health challenges and, concurrently, teenage problems and behaviours. 
Somewhere in the year 2016, he returned to me with a vocal disorder called Muscle Tension Dysphonia.  
I fixed it in the nick of time and Jordan returned to his very-much-so-loved music band and to singing.
