 Better Late than Never McCoy Ch. 7

Vocal health has never been a huge worry of mine personally, but I do have some friends who have struggled with some pretty major vocal health issues. I do know I can be better at taking care of my voice when I am sick. I definitely have had times when I should not have been singing but did anyway. (The main issue there is my underlaying fear of disappointing people, haha.) The disorders were very interesting to me. Was their a brief moment when I thought I had some of these disorders? Yes. Yes there was. But I think the biggest thing I want to take away is if there is a major issues I or one of my students is having and it lasts for more than 2 weeks, GO GET IT CHECKED. It is better to be safe than to be sorry, especially regarding the voice when one is a professional singer. I liked the conclusion. DON'T PANIC! The voice is resilient and if we take care of our voice, we will be ok. However, I still think it would be cool to get my larynx scoped.
