Is it normal to lose my voice so fast?

40% Normal
10 Comments

So whenever I talk, well I talk a lot, but when I talk for even a short period of time, I start to lose my voice. Like it gets scratchy like a person when they're losing their voice.. I've had throat problems since I was 9, and I've gotten my tonsils out, etc, but it's almost like my voice is overworked.. Sometimes it gets really bad, usually after like.. Singing (I'm not a singer, I mean singing loudly to the radio) and i can barely talk, so is this normal??????

Is It Normal?

    You may be abusing your vocal cords by the way you use them, or eating/drinking things that dry up your throat, etc.
    You may want to consider drinking hot tea or pineapple juice, maybe a simple cough drop will do. If those don't work, you probably should see a doctor.

    @OP:

    Drink warm tea. Green tea with lemon is very soothing. Singers drink Ginger tea which helps with the throat. If it keeps happening, it might be a good idea to see a doctor.

    The same thing happens to me! You probably have bad allergies like I do because I'm constantly clearing my throat, and my voice sounds funny If I dont clear my throat before I talk!

      You're doing right, then. In other thing you could do is look up singing tips online. Whether you sing or not, it could help you with your voice.

    You're not alone. I'm having the same problems because I'm giving up smoking and because I love dairy food. My voice is growly at the best of times but it's cracking as well. I don't have any solutions for you (if I did, I'd follow them myself). Just wanted you to know you're not alone.

    Like Cover said, it could be how you used them or the things you consume. Tea is usually beneficial for the voice and talking softly. I often find it hard to talk softly when I'm agitated and I have hurt my voice a few time because of it. You say you've been having problems since you were a kid. Maybe you should see a specialist to make sure.

    Good Luck!
