This video explores the causes of vocal nodules, focusing on excessive and strained voicing patterns. It discusses how loudness and family habits can contribute to the development of nodules, and emphasises the importance of lifestyle and behavioural changes in voice therapy. The short-term benefits of voice rest are mentioned, but the necessity of direct therapy to address underlying issues is highlighted to prevent recurrence.

In this video, we explore techniques to enhance vocal smoothness using resonance. Starting with the ‘M’ sound to bring the voice forward, we extend the exercise with words like ‘meet,’ ‘make,’ and ‘mine,’ and progress to longer words such as ‘meeting,’ ‘making,’ and ‘mighty.’ These methods aim to reduce croakiness, huskiness, and strain in your voice, offering alternative approaches for varying needs.

In this clip, we explore the use of M and N sounds to practice forward focus resonance, which moves the sound to the front of your face. This technique helps to prevent the voice from staying held back in the throat and can add smoothness and ease to your vocal tone. While it might not work for everyone, it’s a useful starting point for gaining awareness and improving voice placement. This method can be a helpful tool for anyone looking to enhance their vocal quality.

This clip discusses the steps in voice therapy aimed at treating nodule-related voice issues. It emphasises establishing good vocal techniques, reducing tightness, and balancing resonance.

This clip explains how pressure and friction can cause nodules to form on the vocal cords, much like how tight shoes can cause corns or blisters. Nodules are typically bilateral and can vary in size, growing larger with inflammation such as from a cold. The preferred method of treatment is therapy aimed at reducing and eliminating nodules, with surgery being a last resort for severe cases.
