Hi and welcome!

If we haven't met before, I am Katarina from How 2 Improve Singing and here on this

channel, I share tips on how to use your voice in a healthy and efficient way.

So, if you are new here, consider subscribing to my channel and hitting that bell notification

below this video.

Now, if you are watching this video because you experience hoarseness of voice, I am curious

to know how long you've had this problem.

A few days, weeks or always?

Leave me a comment down below.

Let's start with the definition of hoarseness.

What does hoarseness mean?

Hoarseness is a word that describes abnormal voice changes.

A hoarse voice can sound breathy, strained or raspy.

A singer or a person who experiences hoarseness of voice, may suddenly have a deeper voice,

or is unable to sing high and soft notes, or his voice may become weak and breathy.

Now, let me make clear that hoarseness is a symptom, not a disease.

What does it mean?

Hoarseness is a sign indicating that there is some kind of voice issue present.

And there can be a number of conditions that manifest themselves as hoarseness of voice.

Let's look at some of them together: Vocal Fold Swelling

Vocal fold swelling is a build up of fluid just beneath the superficial layer of the

vocal folds.

As a result, the vocal folds become thick and therefore, they cannot function in a normal

way.

Usually, when you experience vocal fold swelling, your voice suddenly becomes deeper and you

may sound hoarse and husky.

Also, when vocal folds are swollen, you lose the ability to speak or sing at higher frequencies

softly.

The greater the amount of swelling, the greater the loss of vocal range.

What are the causes of vocal fold swelling?

The most common cause of vocal fold swelling is an upper respiratory infection, such as

common cold or flu.

But swelling of the vocal folds can also occur when vocal folds work overtime, for example

in voice professionals with high vocal commitments.

But also excessive coughing, throat clearing or inadequate vocal technique can cause vocal

fold swelling.

Hoarseness when singing is also very common.

I talk more about the reasons of vocal fold swelling in another video.

You can click here to watch it.

Organic Causes of Hoarseness When the structure of the vocal folds is changed,

we talk about organic causes.

This can be something innocent like a vocal nodule or it can be a more serious problem,

such as cancer.

In any case, the vocal folds cannot vibrate properly because this extra bump or growth

is preventing the vocal folds from coming together completely or vibrate properly.

When the vocal folds cannot come closely together, you sound breathy and weak.

You can either have a hoarse voice quality only in some parts of your vocal register

or throughout the whole vocal range.

If you sound raspy in your whole range, then there is something affecting a big portion

of the vocal folds.

If you sound hoarse only in a specific area of your vocal range, then the grows or change

is probably smaller in size.

The most common hoarse voice causes in this case are behaviours that abuse, misuse or

overuse your voice, for example behaviours like yelling, chronic throat clearing or inadequate

vocal technique when singing or talking.

If you use these behaviours for prolonged periods of time or on a regular basis, they

may cause structural changes on the vocal folds, such as vocal nodules.

Less common causes are fungal infections and cancer.

Non-Organic Causes of Hoarseness In this case of hoarseness, there is nothing

wrong with the structure of the vocal folds.

However, the function of the larynx or the muscles around it is impaired causing hoarseness

of voice.

For example, in some instances, the vocal folds can come together and vibrate absolutely

normally but the voice quality is affected by increased tension of muscles surrounding

the larynx.

This happens for example, when you chronically strain your voice or use muscles that are

not necessary for producing sounds.

Having a hoarse voice, meaning having raspy, rough or breathy voice quality, is very common

among singers who don't use proper vocal technique.

To help you uncover some possible reasons of your hoarseness, get a free checklist of

abusive vocal behaviours.

You may be engaging in these behaviours every day and not know that they are harming your

voice.

The bottom line is that a hoarse voice is a warning sign.

If you experience hoarseness of voice, without the presence of a common cold or flu, it is

time to start looking for a solution.

If your hoarseness lasts for more than 2 weeks, if you suffer from recurring hoarseness, or

if your voice is chronically hoarse, it is time to talk to a voice specialist who can

actually look at your vocal folds and assess their structure and function.

So, if you are saying: my voice is hoarse after singing, or my voice is always hoarse,

it's time to call your doctor and ask for a referral to an ENT doctor (ear-nose and

throat doctor) who specializes in voice problems.

Once you know if your hoarseness is caused by vocal fold swelling, organic or non-organic

causes, then you can start treating your hoarseness appropriately.

swelling fast.

Is Jennifer Aydin's Husband Dr. Bill Cheating on Her? Mistress Rumors | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:01.

Is Jennifer Aydin's Husband Dr. Bill Cheating on Her? Mistress Rumors | Heavy.com

Is Jennifer Aydin's husband cheating on her? Rumors have been swirling about Aydin's husband Dr.

Bill being less-than-faithful to his Real Housewives of New Jersey wife following a heated altercation between Aydin and Marge Josephs.

Clips from tonight's episode show Aydin and Josephs arguing over whether or not Aydin's husband is sleeping with Aydin, with another woman, or in the pool house.

After Aydin snaps at Josephs about her mother sleeping with another man for 15 years, she claims Josephs is "used to it," but that "those things should be kept private.".

Josephs is quick to snap back, saying: "You're right, you're absolutely right. That's why your husband sleeps in the f–king pool house." Although Aydin looks visibly aggravated, she coolly replies back: "My husband doesn't sleep in the pool house, honey.

I'm secure in my marriage so it doesn't bother me where the f–k he sleeps."   Josephs isn't done yet.

She finishes her attack with a short, catty reply, "whether it's in his girlfriend's bed or not," alluding to the idea that Aydin's husband may have another lady in his life.

As Aydin fumes at the table, Josephs tops off her remark, asking whether or not she "hit a nerve," while Aydin looks like she is going to flip a table.

So what's going on with Aydin and her plastic-surgeon husband Bill? Little is known about the Syrian Orthodox hubbie, aside from the fact that they have a generally conservative relationship. Earlier this season, Aydin had to ask Bill's permission before she went on a trip with the other ladies, so we know their relationship is at least somewhat conventional.

      But when it comes to their issues of marriage fidelity, Jennifer likes to keep the couple's personal affairs private.

"I'm not saying people don't cheat," she said in the an after-show clip.

"Do whatever you want to do behind closed doors, but [take it] to the f–king grave."   She also made a comment about Josephs mother sleeping with a married man, and wondered how the wife of that man must've felt knowing her husband was cheating on her. "How about that wife," she adds, "who probably stayed with her husband all that time knowing that he was probably cheating and stayed for whatever reason that she had, either her kids or her livelihood." Her comment has viewers questioning whether or not that was a vague confession to Aydin knowing her husband might possibly be seeing another woman.

One thing is for certain: if Bill does have a mistress, the couple is keeping his fidelity under tight wraps.

Aydin has been vocal about her beliefs that any issues between the parents should be kept well away from their children, so if there is something going on behind her back, she isn't going to be blasting it all over the media for her children to catch wind of.

      "Children always learn by example," she goes on to say.

"If you grow up in a household [where] it's OK to be with married people and it's OK to cheat, then you grow up thinking that the respect or sanctity of marriage isn't there anymore."   What do you think about Adyin's husband? Do you think he is cheating on her? Or that Aydin believes he is? Let us know in the comments below! READ NEXT: Teresa Giudice and Husband Joe's Relationship: Are They Getting Divorced?.

Who Is 'Deal or No Deal' Contestant John West? | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:03.

Who Is 'Deal or No Deal' Contestant John West? | Heavy.com

Tonight's new episode of Deal or No Deal, hosted by Howie Mandel, features contestant John West.

The description for episode 13, entitled "Father Knows Best," reads "Retired automotive line worker John West wants to win a million dollars to retire in comfort and to provide a good future for his five sons; Howie has a surprise that stuns the West family and honors John's years of service to his family.".

In a promo video released ahead of the new episode, Mandel starts the show by introducing West's five sons, who nominated their father to be a contestant on the show.

The oldest of his sons says "We're here to support an amazing man.

Our hero, our dad, Mr John West." When asked why their father deserves to compete on the show, they say "First, he's a strong man.

He guided us all through the right path.

He worked at Ford Motor Company for 34 years.".

After Mandel invites West to the stage, the father and retiree addressed the briefcase models with a "Ladies! How you doin'?" He tells Mandel he is 64 years old and worked 34 years in the auto industry.

If he were to win the million dollars, he says "Well the first thing I'm gonna do is divide it up amongst the fellas over there and everything.

Then I'm gonna get a little personal to do some of the things I enjoy.

Get me a Mustang – I want a Mustang, convertible top." Joking, he added "I want my hair to blow in the wind." His winnings from the show would be meant to help ease him into retirement, but West asserts that, for him, it's all about his boys.

West has five sons, so it is no surprise that he chose case #5 as the one he believes is holding that $1 million prize.

The men stay on the stage throughout the episode to give their father support and advice.

During the episode, Mandel shares a video message with West from Detroit Lions' NFL quarterback Matthew Stafford.

He wishes West good luck and invites him and his sons to Ford Field for a game once he's back in town after filming the episode.

He also offers them autographed Lions gym bags.

Then, Mandel welcomed Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of Global Operations, to the stage.

Hinrichs presented West with a plaque "recognizing [his] years of service" with the Ford company, before recognizing that two of his sons are currently working for Ford.

Then, Hinrichs revealed "I've got something more for you.

Bill Ford, our executive chairman and the great-grandson of Henry Ford, and I want to invite you and your sons to lunch at the penthouse at our headquarters to celebrate your retirement.".

Promo clips show that West eliminates the $.01 case early in his first round, as well as the $500,000 and $100,000 cases.

The clip also teases that at some point in the episode, the banker offers West $0.

Deal or No Deal.
