Teri Stock shows the exercises and conversations she uses to bring damaged voices back — straws, lip bubbles, vibrato work and honest vocal budgeting.

Working with a damaged voice takes courage and a full toolbox — Teri Stock hands you both. You will walk through the conditions you are likely to meet (presbyphonia, vocal paresis, nodules, hemorrhage and varices, muscle tension dysphonia, illness and chronic pain), the friction-plus-time injury formula, and why compensations picked up while tired or sick harden into disorders. Then she demonstrates her rehab exercises live: straw-in-water and cocktail-straw phonation, Lax Vox, puffy cheeks, lip bubbles, hand-gesture vibrato work, and slide-down-the-pole patterns for stubborn high notes. Plus voice budgeting, the five-minutes-rest-per-hour rule, and the psychology of getting a scared singer back onstage.
