I have a question. I was sick for about a year with tonsillitis, had them out a little over a year ago but the doctor said there was lots of scarring, and I can feel the change in my vocal range. It's gotten better, but I can't think of any ways to recover faster....and I really miss being able to sing at full capacity.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
(my first post ;))

hello Aevan!
scarring eh? well i suggest doing lots of scales and trills, at first at a lower volume, and then as the weeks go by raise your power and projection. What this will do is stretch your muscles and your throat and because of your scar tissue, you should be doing this everytime you sing. Drink lots of fluids, preferrably warm when you sing or practice, infact drink lots of fluids in general, your throat will thank you. You will be back to full power in no time... just remember to warm up!
Hope this helped :D
If you had them removed a year ago your as recovered as your going to get. What you need to do now is practice. Your vocal cords are just like any other muscle the more you use them properly the better shape they are in.
And welcome aboard, good to have you join us. :D

thanks for the advice guys!
First guitar lesson tonight :D
Sorry to hear about the medical problem.
I agree with the others, although you might benefit from an experienced vocal teacher too. Mine had a degree in some sort of vocal therapy and while it was almost overkill for my situation, I can see where someone like her could help someone like you. Probly not much help but its a thought.
Keep us updated and warm welcomes to GN!!
