Vocal Health #3: Tension & Your
Voice ... Relax To Avoid Damage
Duration: 5:30
 Do you "tense up" when you get near the mic? It's impossible to be free of tension in our lives, but it can become evident in our voice - and even harm it, warns voice talent and coach Bettye Zoller.
In Part 3 of her VoiceOverXtra podcast series on vocal health, Zoller examines the potential damage that tension and stress can inflict on your vocal folds. "People who speak with lots of stress develop voice problems," she warns.
Fortunately, there's a cure. Take notes on Zoller's suggestions for reducing stress, and for calming your nerves in studio sessions. (Hint: smile, smile, smile.)
