Whether helping clients recover after illness or build commanding presence under pressure, Fran transforms how people sound & how they’re heard
I am reposting this one today because it is such a common question: why does the voice become hoarse?

If your voice feels stingy, scratchy, tight, or like you want to cough, this is information...
Something is a bit out of whack. Perhaps there is irritation from something in the air. Perhaps your larynx is protecting you. Perhaps the mechanism is a bit out of balance.
In voice rehabilitation and technique, the aim is not to force the voice to do more. It is to pause, reset "vocal posture", and find a better coordination.
It is about helping it work more efficiently.
Chest voice and head voice are useful terms, and if they help communication in the studio, then great — but they can also be misleading.
They don’t describe where the sound “is.”
They describe sensations created by changing vocal fold behaviour, breath balance and resonance.
And when singers try to force the voice between two fixed places, things can start to feel difficult.
The voice is far more flexible than that.
