Listen "FYV #20 - Vocal First Aid: What Actually Helps When Your Voice is Shot"
Episode Synopsis
Ever lost your voice right before a big moment? Whether you're in the courtroom or on stage, vocal health is not something you can just "fix" when it breaks—it's something you build before the crisis hits. In this episode, we're breaking down the do's, don'ts, myths, and remedies around vocal fatigue, scratchy throats, and how to actually care for your voice. From salt & vinegar chips to nebulizers to the real role of rest, you'll walk away with practical tools—and maybe a little tough love—to keep your voice courtroom-ready. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "quick fixes" for a scratchy voice rarely work How saltwater, steam, and nasal flushes can help (and where they fall short) What remedies soothe you vs. what actually reaches your vocal cords The real risks of numbing the pain with sprays and lozenges Why building vocal stamina is your best long-term strategy Key Takeaway: There's no shortcut for vocal health. You can soothe symptoms—but prevention, rest, breath support, and conditioning are what keep your voice strong under pressure. Favorite moment: "I was shouting at the TV (using good supported vocal tone), 'YES! Let's give him some voice lessons!'" — when Kristi cheers for better vocal technique during a cycling race recap. 🔗 Links & Resources: Get weekly vocal tips delivered to your inbox: https://www.fostervoicestudio.com/contact Love the show?
