Did you know that there is a correlation between the physical and vocal health? Begins with a vowel sound complex and dynamic interaction of several muscles in the vocal tract. A good exercise program increases the cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular strength, flexibility and coordination. These benefits (especially endurance and flexibility) to contribute to more efficient use of energy during the talk and sing to reduce tension and increase the flow of air to breathe. But even hoarseness may be experiencing if not take care of other factors that may create problems of voice.
Vocal hoarseness is caused by a variety of reasons. Here There are 16 examples with explanations of vocal overuse can cause hoarseness or vocal fatigue:
Cough and throat exchange of information – when coughing or throat clearing, is closing their vocal cords together so hard. Doing this enough times and create strings inflamed vocal sound will be different. There is a method for cough and throat clearing that is not hard on the ropes which is especially effective for people who clear the throat or cough habit.
Excessive talking during a respiratory infection superior – Since we're talking about the cough and throat clearing, it is very likely that you are experiencing a cold. If so, could mean that there is excess drainage of mucus that adds to the irritation of the vocal cords. This is a good time to take a break from his speech. Your vocal chords will thank you!
Grunts (like weightlifting) – If you lift weights on a regular basis, you may be abusing your vocal cords. Weight lifters slam his vocal cords, with the strength needed to lift heavy weights and then grunt in the same time. This activity, repeated over time, can damage the vocal cords because the set hitting the strings can cause a callus to build, thus changing the mass of the vocal cords. This can result in a change in tone and / or create vocal hoarseness.
Prolonged speech – If you talk nonstop, in addition to abuse their ropes in other ways (like talking too much tension or speak in a loud tone), your voice gets tired, and even disappear completely.
Talking in noisy environments – all tend to speak louder in noisy environments and often speak louder when talking aloud. This combination damaging the vocal cords.

Smoking / Marijuana – This should be obvious … the smoke passes through the vocal cords on their way to the lungs is very drying to the entire vocal tract. If you smoke, quit!
Speaking / singing in smoky environments – Second-hand smoke has been shown to harm people almost as much as yourself taking puffs. If you have to speak or sing in smoky environments, be sure to drink plenty of water.
Drinking alcohol – Alcohol is dehydrating and robbed of their fluids. See the following point of water.
Not drinking enough water – Most experts recommend 8-10 glasses of being well hydrated and maintain his lead vocal performance!
Inadequate breath support – proper breath support is essential when it comes to voice projection and maintain good vocal health. Make sure are using the support of the diaphragm and not shallow breathing. Poor breathing technique is a common problem among the speakers.
Reverse phonation – To do this you must be talking while inhaling. Think about the types of gasping or sighing or some sleep, even heavier. Some children can speak this way to have fun too! It can not be an occupation that may use the reverse phonation as a clown. However, it is good practice in the long term.
Laughter abusive – Too high of a field, laughing reverse phonation, or too high are the things people can do evil, laughing.
Shouting / normal volume excessive – Shouting, as throat clearing and coughing, vocal cords hitting together. Too often, we also speak in a higher pitch when they make us stronger. This combination is hard on the vocal cords and time, resulting in hoarseness. Speaking loudly in time also hurt his vocal cords.
Inappropriate high / low PITCH – If you speak in a tone that is too high or too low from the optimal in the range of notes, you will experience hoarseness. Often, individuals try to produce and maintain a tone that is too small for his frame of mind.
Hard glottal attacks – The habit of building pressure below the vocal cords and the air is released abruptly in the words beginning with vowels are called hard glottal attacks. Saying "I" strongly and vigorously and then say "I" with a silent H "versus" I "Hear the difference between these two sounds. When vocal cords are chronically met force, the result is hoarseness.
If you snore and are still not sure why, an appointment with a doctor or an ear, nose and Specialist throat to see if there is a physical problem.
