Question:

My mother used to love to sing and a couple of years ago she lost her voice due to some nerve damage in her neck; she went through surgery which the doctor told her would probably bring a lot of it back, and it did. However he told her for her voice to come fully back she would need to take voice therapy classes. Unfortunately her insurance doesn’t cover such classes. I was wondering if their are any exercises that she can do herself at home or techniques that she could try to help her?

Answer:

It is not responsible to answer a question like this without hearing your mother and knowing what her specific needs are. This is one time when you really must find someone knowledgeable about the voice and healing. I wish your mother complete healing and the joy of her singing.
