7. IF YOUR THROAT SOMETIMES ACHES OR FEELS SCRATCHY
As with any form of prolonged physical exercise, the muscles may start to feel tired of achy.
If you have a scratchy feeling inside your throat then you are not using a properly supported voice, with easy access to breath. This means your throat has to work too hard to create the voice you want.
- Keep practising putting breathe into your body and support your voice from your abdomen.
- Yawning or the stifled yawn to find immediate release of throat tension.
- Then you could shrug your shoulders to release tension there.
