Phonotrauma: Silent Killer of Singers Exposed! |

In this insightful video, Dr Dan delves into the topic of phonotrauma, a critical issue for singers and voice professionals, explaining the potential harm caused by phono-traumatic behaviours such as yelling and screaming. He draws an analogy between the strain on vocal folds from overuse and the redness and stinging experienced when clapping hands too hard. Highlighting the risks, especially for soprano and alto singers due to their higher ranges, Dr Dan stresses the importance of maintaining vocal health through controlled vocal intensity and balance in both speaking and singing.

He introduces the concept of vocal naps as essential rest periods for the vocal folds, advocating for a personalized approach to vocal exercises and rest strategies. Concluding with a reminder of the uniqueness of each voice, Dr Dan encourages viewers to protect their vocal superpower through mindful practice and technique.
