Odd question maybe. But I usually lose my voice early in the season due to increased straining/yelling. I recall somewhere someone suggesting vocal exercises that singers/actors use. Was wondering if anyone does this and if they have any recommendations for good educational resources.

I lose my voice twice a year every year have no idea why. Always once in the fall and once in the spring.
I tried to fight it for years and it would last over a week. Now I just don’t talk or talk as little as possible and it goes away in 2-3 days.
To not talk I have older guys lead my drills in football. In class I use a free text to voice site to give directions to the class and give activities where I don’t have to talk. Then periodically throughout class I will make it say funny stuff. It’s not too bad.

Exact same thing Drill Sergeant Oughton said back in 1996 at Fort Knox, Kentucky when a bunch of us lost our voice after the the first couple days of US Army Cavalry Scout OSUT. 😆 |

It's gotta come deep down inside your soul. Use your diaphragm. If it's all upper voice range/lungs you're in trouble voice wise. Think Bob Wylie gut contractions.
Happy yelling!

I think the biggest issue is early in the year, trying to project my voice to a big group when teaching technique. One thing I've played with is bringing them all in a circle, going through the key coaching points using one or two kids, and then dispersing them into their lines/groups etc. |

Peppermints.
You lose your voice from yelling without saliva

The diaphragm is where it's at. Saves your voice, you're as loud or louder, and comes across as authoritative instead of shrill. You can tell a veteran coach because he can comfortably have a conversation with somebody fifty yards away. |

I use a bull-horn. Got it at Radio Shack about 17 years ago. It even has a siren.
Hmmm...Don't even know if Radio Shack is still around...

You should feel tension in your core, not your neck. Think how you 'get tight' before you do a heavy squat. |

Stop raising your voice.
You are ultimately in control of the situation

Was wondering if anyone does this and if they have any recommendations for good educational resources. Drink plenty of fluids. Something hot after a game is good. Lemon juice can help cut phlegm and clear things up a little, too. One thing that a lot of vocal coaches stress is singing (or in this case, screaming) from the chest. Most people speak from the throat or mouth without really thinking about it, so when they yell they are really hitting their vocal cords hard. One bit of advice I got in a former life as a wannabe musician was to focus on projecting from the diaphragm, relax the throat/mouth/vocal cords, and just use the mouth and throat to shape what comes out. It has really helped me project a lot better and more clearly as a coach, which comes in handy when I need to stand on the sidelines at the 30 and call plays on the hash 20 yards away without shredding my throat or getting raspy. However, when I get fired up by something happening in-game that technique goes out the window and I can still blow my voice out if I do it too much. |
