Losing your voice from vocal performance is NOT necessary IF you prepare yourself and your voice for the performance you need to do.

Listen for tips to avoid losing your own voice from overuse.
BONUS: I mention a new vocal recovery exercise that I will be teaching in a free workshop to be held Tuesday, June 14th, 2022. Contact me and I'll send you the link! (Yes, there will be a replay if you can't attend.)
