Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Having been around showbuiness for a while this gravelly voice problem cropped up from time to time, especially with songists and actooors. There may be two things here at work. Number one, especially for those who talk a lot, is the possibility of small nodules growing on the larynx, needs a camera to have a quick look... supplied by your Doctor ;-) The second is exercise. The voice is controlled by muscle as we know, and a muscle properly exercised is more likely to remain as 'fit' as possible longer. The best exercise? Use it. An actor friend of mine sings, anything, all the time, and very badly. :-) She also practices imitating the way others speak, again badly, thank god she doesn't do it in public! The idea is to use the muscles in ways that you don't normally do so not allowing a set pattern of limited 'movement' to develop. Hey and it drives everyone else crazy and is great fun. I personally also believe that your voice reflects your emotions/energy balance a much as your health. Maybe there is an emotional energy imbalance in place, work on this. There's a free workbook on my chinosis site below, the system may help and won't harm. Hope this helps in some way.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Jon good point about using the muscles (vocl folds) differently. i think it is very difficulyto control thee muscle because we do not see them. we can just imagine how they look and contract. Moe, I read what you write about the kidneys where the Jing (essence of life) stays. but what about the Liver? Did you ever notice if people with liver not functioning well develop voice problems? (BTW, what i the best diet/techniques for cleansing the liver?) Anat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Jon, I just looked over your site - well done! I love the ideas and the theory of ChiNosis. Is this something you developed yourself? I especially like the way it is focused on balancing one's energy and not fixing something perceived as broken. Looks very useful as a system.
