How I Lost My Voice (So You Don’t Have To!)

Losing your voice from vocal performance is NOT necessary IF you prepare yourself and your voice for the performance you need to do. Here's the cautionary tale about how I DIDN'T prepare for a vocal marathon, trashed my voice and what I did to get it back in time to finish the marathon strong! 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.)

Chat With Lachi - Recording Artist, Disabled Inclusion Advocate

Have you ever felt like there was something about you that would keep your voice from certain opportunities, careers or stages? Maybe you're the wrong race, wrong gender, wrong size, too old, too young, too dark, too light, too weird, too loud, too shy. How about being... too blind? Today I talk with Lachi - a highly successful force of nature who fully embraces and USES her blindness to make the entertainment industry a place where the disabled are successful and where universal access is the norm. Wait til you hear where HER voice is successfully performing! After listening, don't be surprised if you feel a fire in your own gut to think outside the box of your perceived limitations, and go after some dream you may have tucked away.  If you enjoy this, please support it with your rating or review!
