Are you experiencing vocal problems? Is your voice hoarse? Is projecting or even speaking at a normal volume feeling effortful and heavy? Trust me, I’ve been there. I was ‘diagnosed’ with MTD (muscle tension dysphonia) by a voice clinic when I was 19. Unfortunately, my identity as a ‘singer’ and passion for musical theatre meant that the diagnosis was to me a life-changing, future-obliterating disaster.
My name is Emily – I’m an actor/singer, writer, and vocal health first aider/coach. Although my ‘diagnosis’ was traumatic, ultimately my voice issues led me on a huge journey of growth, discovery and recovery. I’m here now, as someone who has made it through to vocal freedom, to share my findings, show you that you are not alone, and reassure you that there IS a vocally free future out there for you too!
This blog is about connection as much as anything else, so click here to get in touch – I would love to hear your story!
