Have you been experiencing voice loss? Perhaps because you got sick with COVID-19, RSV, the flu, or another virus. Perhaps because you’re dealing with the ongoing symptoms of long COVID. If you’re struggling with coughing and wheezing, this can lead to a weak voice and trouble sustaining sound or a note. And certainly if you’re experiencing vocal fatigue, tightness, and tension, this training is for you.

Join Elissa Maas Weinzimmer, vocal health educator and founder of Voice Body Connection, for a five video series that will walk you through what to do when you lose your voice. You can use this sequence as a post-COVID vocal health protocol, a voice & immune system reboot, and a daily tension release practice. We’ll cover how to steam your vocal cords, a practice to release lung tension so you can breathe better, a sequence of simple tension release and laryngeal massage exercises, and some gentle humming and vocalizing to get your voice back in shape.
