Why can't I sing properly when I have a cold?
I am desperately trying to singalong to the radio, but all that comes out is a deep growl sound or a few wobbly staccato notes. I sound like Phyllis Pearce asking Percy if he wants a pint.
Sqadlet - obviously this is an ENT problem. I am extremely upset at my inability to warble at my best. What can I do?
My darling.....when one has an upper respiratory tract infection(cold) the vocal cords which are normally glistening pearly white, become thickened and a harsher sound is produced.
Thank you my darlink.
I shall sing "Je ne regrette rien" then, while my voice suits such a lament. Edith Piaf, eat your heart out. Little Sparrow? Huh? Me Heap Big Albatross....
you should worry salla, i'm tone deaf and cant sing one single note. If my kids were naughty no amount of punishment would work, except, a chorus or two of "The Summer of 69" they would behave all day after that !
I would sqad - but it makes me giggle cos it reminds me of that advert with the ladybirds.... where they flirt, skirt each other, then pounce. I think it was for John Smiths bitter, or Tetleys?
But, for you, I will try..... Should I do all the sighs and oohs and aahs also?
When you have a cold, your ears unblock. What you're actually hearing when you sing is your real voice. Other times you are blissfully unaware that people up to a radius of 5 miles cover their ears, small children cry, and once the RSPCA was called as someone thought that a cat was being tortured.
