Best Singing & Voice Lessons in Chicago, IL

Many people complain about phlegm and blame it on allergies. Usually not; allergies usually produce post-nasal drip, where as phlegm is most likely the result of reflux or hydration issues. My suggestions are to drink even more water and go on a strict reflux management program for a month. Usually, the best way to find out if it is reflux is to treat it as it is. If you suffer from phlegm, morning voice, or prolonged warm up, please write me through my Contact Page so I can send you a reflux management plan.

This is a common problem. You have different muscles that help create your low voice (chest) and high voice (connected head voice). The key is to get them to work together in the middle (mix), where you transition from low to high, and vice versa. The key to singing, at its root, is mastering mixed voice. If you cannot, singing will always be a mystery.

You are not a good judge of how you sound. We have two different ways of hearing; air conduction and bone conduction. We hear others through air conduction where the sound goes through our outer ear, then the middle ear, and finally the inner ear. We hear ourselves through bone conduction. The outer and middle ear are not involved as much, and the inner ear is predominant. There are some tools you can use to reconcile the difference so you can accept your sound.
