What is going on with my voice ? Stressful Vocal damage(ASK)

*Laryngoscopy result of my vocal folds

Hello fellas out there!

This is my first post in this modernvocalistworld forum and as a singer,im really proud to find this kind of forum where i can ask or share something regarding vocas.

My name is Rolando and im 17 y/o singer living in Indonesia.I've been singing for many times and i'm really enjoyed it.I was part of a band that have regular concert schedule.

So lets get to the point,

6 or 7 months ago,i had a full schedule of concert in one day,so from the morning until the evening i did sing without quality vocal rest,then next morning after that concert,i wake up and i realized that my voice already became breathy and hoarse.I thought it will only occur for 5 days or 7 days but i've been experiencing this damage for 6 or 7 months and i already went to the best ENT doctor on my town and i did a checkup to my vocal cords and that is the result.(on the picture i attached with this post upside)

I knew it was all of my fault not to warming up properly and just sing without taking care of my vocal folds,but i'm really stressed to see that my voice is not yet recovered for many months.

I already gargled with salt water and did many things as my ENT doctor instructed but it still the same,it breaks my heart.

So what is the problem with me? What should i do ? Or is it a permanent and major vocal damage that has no medicine?

If singer tea can fix this i will try to buy one. Thanks ^^

Note: I still can speak loud and sing but my singing quality is degradated so much,now i cant hold a note for a long time and my vocal pliabilty has gone aswell,though my vibrato is still clean and good.

You might need to work with a vocal rehab specialist. You may have built some bad habits that need to change.

Hi ronws,

im really happy that you take your time to answer my question,it such a honor for me

But is it possible for me to have a recovery of my vocal ?

I never get a clear answer even from my ENT doctor

Your ENT doctor may be best at general health but if he is not specialized in singers or public speakers, such as you, he may only see that while your tissues look good, he may not know if you are doing what is right for speaking and singing. A vocal rehab specialist, however, might have some techniques and training that would help you with both speaking and singing.

Even Tony Robbins the motivational speaker took voice lessons to preserve his voice for speaking. And the training was virtually the same as for singing. The voice out of the throat.

I see then , its been 8 months and i tried everything and nothing seems to work.I would see a vocal rehab specialist on my city as you suggested,thank you so much.

Did u find someone with same problem like me and he/she did come to the vocal rehab specialist and his/her voice is back as usual?

Rolando,

Welcome to The Modern Vocalist World Forum !

May I suggest that you contact Maestro Robert Lunte, the founder of this forum.

In addition to being a vocal coach, Robert also specializes in voice therapy.

I had some "issues" of my own due to several anterior cervical spinal surgeries/fusions. As a consequence, a significant amount of scar tissue was pressing up against my right vocal fold. Robert helped me immensely and I'm truly appreciative !!!

You can send him a private message via our internal email.
