Question:

I had multiple PE in both lungs and now my voice is weak at times. Why?

Answer:

I am not a physician and you should always seek medical input for medical issues. That being said, I suspect you have lost some of the ability to support and pace the breath. If there is too much air passing through the cords, the resulting tone is weak. Before you do anything, be sure you have your doctor’s permission to work with the breath and voice. Ask the doctor if you should have professional support. The doctor might be able to prescribe work with a speech therapist and that might be covered by your insurance. If you have limited resources but have the go ahead from your physician to work independently, the breathing and phonation exercises on the Vocal Tune-Up CD at www.morethanspeaking.com might help you re-develop your strength.
