That means when you open your mouth wide, you're changing the shape of one of those resonating Chambers. When you sort of open your throat as if you're going to yawn, you've changed the shape of the pharynx. That resonating Chamber. When you are all stopped up with allergies or cold, it's changing the shape of that resonating Chamber. So it changes the quality of our voice. I'm going to go first on identifying two voices that I love

I love those two voices. And I have a question for you about resonance, because if we think about voices we love versus the voices we have. I love your point being that we are given what we're given and we do the best with our with the instrument that is our instrument, our voice, our structure, our anatomy

Wow. Okay. There's a couple of questions. There resonance. We can change our resonance. And the two ways that I just that I mentioned in my previous swell were to open your mouth more more and really and truly, we think we're opening our mouth a lot. But when we start to just sort of loosen the jaw, you can do massages in your jaw. You can just practice in front of the mirror

I did miss something. Deborah, you asked about why your voice might sound differently in the evening versus the morning. So our voices change with how much hydration we we have. For one thing, you want the vocal cords to stay supple and moist, and if we're dehydrated, they become stiffer. Also, if we're dehydrated, we produce mucus that's a little bit more viscous, and we tend to then do a lot of throat clearing rather than swallowing those secretions

Hi. I'm new. I'm just catching up with all your previous swells, and I didn't comment on any of them, so I will comment here. Thank you so much for doing this. It's great, especially in a platform like this for people to learn how to properly use their voices personally. It's important to me. About five years ago, I had a paralyzed vocal cord that never came back, so I had to relearn how to speak

Welcome. And boy, I would just want to tell you your voice sounds terrific for having had a paralyzed vocal cord. That's amazing. Kudos to you and to your voice therapist. Obviously, that's that person knew what they were doing. And you sound really good. I'm glad you're with us. And look forward to hearing from you more
I just wanted to say I run a dog rescue. So I have lots and lots of dogs, and I know every one of their barks. If I hear one of them bark, we have 50 plus dogs. And I don't know exactly which one it is. And we've had them about at least a few days or so
