What is hoarseness?
Hoarseness is any damage to your voice box affecting your vocal quality.

Sometimes, the cause is incorrect speaking or singing technique.

Your doctor or voice therapist tells you very often you should “learn how to speak (or sing) right”. Actually, the correct speaking technique comes naturally. You need therapists to learn how to avoid pressing your cords during vocal difficulties. The proper vocal technique is the healthiest one.

Vocal Tips

The proper way to speak is such that minimizes the strain on your throat and doesn’t harm your larynx.

If your routine use of your vocal cords damages them or worsens a preexisting problem, then your vocal routine does not fit your circumstances. This may result in damages to your vocal health, such as nodules restricting your vocal performance, breathing difficulties, sore throat, etc.

To illustrate our point, a sore throat without any vocal strains should be over in a few days, leaving no traces worse than a mild hoarseness that will be over within two weeks.
