Any singers here? What's the best way to clear my vocal cords

[Zekar]

7. Guaifenasen works for me.

I recommend trying it some day when you are not singing.

I haven't been able to sing for a few years. No nodes, no tumors, apparently just vocal burning called both Silent GERD and LPR. I have been treating with betaine hydrochloric acid w/pepsin (6 per meal) and super enzymes for a couple of months.

Frustrated, I went back to my choir as a start. Most difficult the first rehearsal (trouble with lower ranges and cracking voice like a teenaged boy's). Next one, I took guai an hour before and actually heard a voice. And every rehearsal since. I keep sounding better and better.

Personally, I do not get a dry throat with this and I'm glad there's something reputed to moisten the vocal folds. I'll do almost anything.

I've always had a lovely bel canto voice and I don't know if I'll ever get that back, but I'll try. I always swore I wouldn't be one of those aging women who keeps forcing solos on people, while having a reedy and unpleasant voice, but not hearing it.

And each time we've rehearsed, I've done a helluva Halleljah chorus <g> But I don't know if I'll ever be able to do those high notes, and probably never another solo!

Good luck to you.
