Teaching and interacting vocally with a wide variety of people for many hours of the day, whether we feel like it or not, is demanding. If you are feeling under powered, the chances are your voice will be, because you are tired and your posture has collapsed. You may not be able to make yourself heard.Tired voices can sound strange (rough, creaky or hyper-nasal), at the same time requiring more effort to produce. The worse it feels the more we push the voice inappropriately and the more damage we can cause. It’s a well-worn cycle . No voice no job!
