As we grow older it’s common for our voices to change, the muscles around the vocal chords can weaken and it can become tiring to talk at length. Vocal exercises can help to strengthen your voice, speak more clearly and improve the sound of your voice.
Learn how to strengthen and improve the health of your voice and pitch with voice coaching lessons from Sally Woan.
