After about three weeks of suffering from a serious cold, I thought it was all over and that in no time I would be able to sing my heart out but I was wrong. Just a week of being better and practising my singing, I got a cold again...... This not cool. Not being able to sing depresses me a lot as singing is one of the way I can release stress.
As I was surfing the internet I saw a video of a 12 year old boy (Ronan Paker) on Britain's Got Talent singing one of my favourite songs ( Because of you by Kelly Clarkson). This boy sang the song so perfectly that I cried listening to him and then the thought that if I keep getting these colds and flu I might never sing again hit me and I cried even more.
Now I believe the Theory of use and disuse, this is because I never wanted to sing in public when I had the chance and now that I finally want to start singing in public, I loose my voice :-(...... I believe that with time I'll get back my voice and when I do I'll make sure I sing my lungs and heart out :-)
It is true that you need to exercise your vocal muscles just as you would those in your arms and legs to improve on the quality. Hopefully your illness will go away soon and you can return to your singing.
