Maintaining Vocal Health
David
Otis Castonguay
While
the chart is largely self-explanatory, three factors contributing
to vocal distress taken from Thurman's articles perhaps need some
explanation. Disease Circumstances (such as allergies or viral colds)
and
Aggravating
Circumstances (such as lack of sleep, and spending time in smoky
or polluted air) are factors which can cause vocal distress. Predisposing
Circumstances include Psychological Stress Reaction - becoming emotionally
upset. The emotional tension often associated with such distress
has a negative impact on the voice. Persons who suffer from what
is commonly called "stage fright" experience the shortness
of breath, "lump in throat" and other symptoms which impair
good vocal production. Under Heredity, Thurman includes individuals
whose vocal mechanism tires at an abnormally fast rate.

This flow chart graphically depicts procedures for maintaining good
vocal health.
