Vocal strain, also known as vocal fatigue, is the leading cause of vocal problems, limitations and vocal damage for both singers and speakers. In this episode, I'm going to give you the top 18 causes of vocal strain that I see, and tell you how to fix what's making your voice so tired. I'm also going to share the audio of a short vocal lesson I did where my student's vocal fatigue was eliminated immediately after I put her at the wall.

PULL, Don't Push SOVT Exercises for Breath Work
SOVT, or 'semi-occluded vocal tract' exercises, IF done with good form, can significantly improve vocal ability and vocal health. In this episode, I show you why and how you should PULL them instead of Push them, like most people do. See this episode on YouTube for video demonstrations of these exercises.

Weird Vocal Exercises That Blend Registers
In this episode I teach vocal exercises I designed using voiced consonants and vowels to help singers AND speakers blend their chest and head registers. Doing these exercises also helps you eliminate vocal breaks, add more resonance and range and ease vocal strain. These benefits occur as we take the voice across the passagio from chest to head voice while pulling and morphing the syllables. It's weird, but it works!
