More and more singers are cancelling big shows and turning to surgery to fix their damaged vocal cords. But is the problem actually down to the way they sing? https://getpocket.com/explore/item/...p-losing-their-voice?utm_source=pocket-newtab

 

Because they are either divas, contractually in agreement to protect their voice under doctors orders, idiot fans expect perfection which is humanly impossible, & or all of the above....

 

Maybe they should ask Mick Jagger how he managed it for the last 200 years (damn, I tried so hard not to be naughty anymore and now this ).

 

first, she smokes

2, probably bad vocal health management and training and/or exhaustion.
as previously quoted, mick jagger doesn't perform on a range that isn't his.

voice is like muscle, but even more fragile. if stress is involved, it can add badly to the equation.

 

Mick Jagger sings????????????????????????????????

 

..."You can’t let the instruments touch any healthy tissue. Dig too deep, Zeitels knew, and he would risk damaging the superficial lamina propria, the soft, pliable underlayer of Adele’s vocal cords"...

Maybe there, its like already answered in the article. Some instrument touch her vocal cords.

If I got it right, they assumed that the vocalists overstress their chords, have it fixed with surgery and then continue with the same mistake.

 

Probably the combination of smoking + regular stress on the vocal cords has a lot to do with it. I remember when this happened to Joe Budden. Dude was in pretty rough shape

"Doc said I need a surgery to fix it
And if something goes wrong it could be permanently twisted
Now thats something I can't afford
So steroid shots in my ass just so I can record
The more I talk its ruining my cords
and on top of it all Now Def Jam wants ya boy on tour"

Ah nostalgia. Vintage Joe Budden was one of the best at making you feel what he's going through

 

bad management...more more more.faster faster...look how they cut the videos now...every second is money..

this is no healthy lifestyle especially in US...i dont wanna be a superstar slave for all the money in the world

 

Maybe female vocalist have soft cord tissue. Make sense if overstress can ruin vocal.

youguysthink type of mic can give effect to vocalist like Adele in long run? Some mic head/size different in shape.. like SM582 (below) compares to


compares to this one...

ab-soul has some good stuff ...

 

@Futurewine At first I thought you had posted a photo of a pink vibrator/dildo...then I realized it actually is a microphone shaped like a vibrator/dildo. I think we have solved the mystery. Some singers are actually practicing how to deep throat with the pink microphone, that looks like a vibrator/dildo, and in the process they are damaging their vocal chords.

 

it's usually because of shouting & fighting or drink or extreme smoking , the best solution for anyone is inhaling and drinking hot water with honey stirred inside , inhaling through knose the herbs boiling and exhaling through mouth , besides this tomato / lycopene vitamin and olive oil every day a small cup full drink is a good solution for internal inflamation of vocal chords and besides both of these help for good heart and anti-cancer reaction

*a decently priced microphone for any girl or any guy is a shure58 ,beer's dont help, its a couple of hours of work

 

I wouldn't know but is it possible for a singer change their vocal technique and still sound familiar to the fans? I think everyone should just become a DJ

 

Singers are like athletes in that they need to train and take care of themselves if they want to perform at their best and have a long career.

 

Yep, in some cases this is possible, not easy, but possible, especially if they overstresssed their chords.

 

More than 40 years later ... a two hour concert!
