It's never shouting-in-order-to-be-heard onstage - there's a microphone for that - it's always about an emotional response of some kind. Outrage mostly. Using the diaphragm to breath properly like an act-or doesn't help with that. There is the having-conversations-in-a-noisy-bar thing too - where you don't realise you're straining your voice to compete with the background and don't feel it because of the booze. But like I say, I'm off the grog for a wee while. <br /><br />psst: Typo fixed.

Overuse through repeated shouty outrage (of which I am banking on there being some of in Dave's show) can just leave your throat with nothing left to give.<br /><br />Voice care was part of teacher training and there really is nothing you can do about a sore throat other than not talk. All medicines generally make things worse in the long run, apparently (either drying out your throat or making you think it doesn't hurt so using it more). Although I think gargling with warm salt water is supposed to help in some way... something to do with leathering up the vocal chords. <br /><br />Water, water, water, don't talk, diaphramatic breathing, use the chest cavity for projection, all that jazz. And some kind of vocal exercise that involved talking while keeping an imaginary feather in the air...<br /><br />Yes, a part of my training was in geriatric drawing into the mouth of ellipsoidal bodies.<br /><br />psst back: "one 'many' show" /pedantEmma Spreadburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323158899767254919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-23992298792381576472011-08-19T19:08:10.755+01:002011-08-19T19:08:10.755+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Emma Spreadburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323158899767254919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-34511338268363312242011-08-19T15:56:03.646+01:002011-08-19T15:56:03.646+01:00@emma6 It's not really about germs - it's ...@emma6 It's not really about germs - it's more overuse. It just needs to be rested. But a show every night doesn't allow you to recover properly... so it's more about maintaining it than curing it. <br /><br />@mcjules: Tyrozets numb it. Which eases the pain... but can also give you that just-been-to-the-dentist speech pattern if you're not careful. Also... pain is there for a reason. It stops you from hurting yourself even more. Numbing the pain can sometimes mean you blithely carry on doing bad things to your throat... best handled carefully.<br /><br />@Thomas Knowles: it will be. I normally encounter these problems sooner and have never had to cancel a show because of them yet. And I'm well versed in dealing with them. I will forego alcohol for you!Dave Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260701102207639816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-24933382865131619142011-08-19T15:41:03.866+01:002011-08-19T15:41:03.866+01:00I am seeing you on Tuesday, hopefully your throat ...I am seeing you on Tuesday, hopefully your throat won't be dead by then.Thomas Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04338227667871614326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-53976407882053323392011-08-19T15:27:26.095+01:002011-08-19T15:27:26.095+01:00tyrozets from the chemist, they are the business f...tyrozets from the chemist, they are the business for sore throatsmcjulesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-28665354937131258592011-08-19T15:02:21.731+01:002011-08-19T15:02:21.731+01:00Gargle with Listerine, mate.
