FAQ
Vocal cord strain in singers can be caused by overuse, improper technique, or insufficient rest, leading to inflammation or damage of the vocal folds, which impairs their ability to vibrate properly.
Vocal coaches and doctors assess signs like hoarseness, pain, reduced vocal range, and swelling. When these symptoms indicate risk of long-term damage, they advise canceling performances to allow healing and prevent further injury.
Lady Gaga maintains vocal health through vocal strength and conditioning, including physical fitness like weightlifting for stamina, mastering breath control, and refining her vocal technique to avoid strain.
Balancing vocal registers, such as chest and head voice, helps singers avoid overusing one part of their range, reducing strain and enabling a strong, clear tone without hoarseness or damage.
If untreated, vocal cord strain can lead to chronic hoarseness, loss of vocal range, permanent damage, and in severe cases, the need for surgery, which can jeopardize a singer’s career longevity.
