From my experience, people can sing properly but abuse their voice with other behavior. Most of these people don't realize that damage can be permanent. Jolene is from our church and the surgery helped her, but it was a very rough surgery that required a lengthy rehabilitation. I have been fortunate to maintain a healthy voice.

She had an incredible soprano range and used to sing with the Rock Church choir when she lived there. She since got married and she and her husband pastor out of state. I spoke with her and noticed immediately that she had a hoarse voice. I asked her about it and she told me that she never sings anymore.

This is actually bad. "Pretty much" is not enough. If you continue, that little bit that does not clear up will become a big bit. There are alternatives to prescription meds. You might first want to consider your diet and timing of meals. Some of the prescription meds have terrible side effects. Try a bland/low-fat diet until Jana Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339441184005532875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932668973619468380.post-13937375986944394492008-03-03T13:58:00.000-08:002008-03-03T13:58:00.000-08:00Thanks both of you for the advice.

I haven't gone back in six months because they upgraded me to a third prescription that was over $200/month! The doctor only wanted me on it for 1-2 months, but the timing was awful as I was just getting married. <BR/>You've all made me think more serious about this. I appreciate it. <BR/><BR/>James Wilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12330236614228717627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932668973619468380.post-85560550194591524292008-03-01T05:57:00.000-08:002008-03-01T05:57:00.000-08:00I sure did fail this test.

I had major repairs done to my esophagus due to acid reflux 2 years ago. Best surgery I ever had. If not taken care of it will lead to cancer of the esophagus. So change your diet and take any proper meds and get it under control.

I might would say I don't like to hear my voice recorded, but that would hurt CD sales. lOL j/k<BR/><BR/>James - acid reflux is dangerous to your voice and if left untreated can cause serious health complications.

I have just not completed the steps to fix it - acid reflux. That's why my voice is tired, it hurts, sounds different in the morning, etc...well, that and I attend a Pentecostal Church.
