## Resource

If your voice feels off—scratchy, swollen, stuck, or just not doing what you want—this episode is for you. Allergy season, post-nasal drip, congestion, travel, fatigue… it happens. And when it does, most singers either push through (not helpful) or stop singing altogether (also not helpful). In this episode of  Vocal Tips in 10 , I’m walking you through a simple, strategic sequence of exercises to help your voice reset and start feeling like  you  again—without forcing or overworking. We’ll work through: A gentle  SOVT “HN” exercise  on one note to ease the voice back in Straw in water with sliding intervals  to help reduce swelling and irritation A  “floppy jaw” release  to reduce tension in the articulators (because your body  will  try to tighten up when you’re not at 100%) An  “NG” exercise  to reconnect resonance and smooth out your registers This is the kind of reset I use with singers when their voice isn’t cooperating—so instead of guessing (or spiraling), you have a clear way forward. Stop guessing.
