Has your voice changed?

[KPKicker]

My voice is my career, so I always pay very close attention to any changes that might be happening. Especially since I quit smoking.

The only change that I have found is that my voice is clearer and I can speak longer without having to take a breath. When you're trying to fit 45 seconds of copy into 30 seconds, that means everything.

Granted, I do have a little film on the back of my throat when I vape. But, it doesn't bother me. I just don't vape while I'm recording or broadcasting live.

Yeah man I get that same film you're talking about too. It doesn't bother me too much anymore though. Are you in radio broadcasting?

Yes, I'm a broadcast meteorologist. I do weather for a bunch of stations around the Upper Midwest. I also do voice overs for commercials, legal ID's and liners and other voice work. It's all done from my home studio, which is a good thing since I no longer live anywhere near the Upper Midwest. We moved from Wisconsin to Arizona back in April.

I was a DJ for many years too.

Haha wow that must be hella fun. I've always wanted to have a broadcaster voice so I could live every day life talking like the guys on the radio. Lol!

 

[NuGalicia]

I can sing again too! At 52 it's cool.

Also, I don't miss all that special stuff I used to cough up first thing in the morning, or frequent coughing through the day. No one ever says 'Have another smoke' sarcastically anymore as they used to when I'd hack my way through a cigarette.

Hadn't noticed any voice cracking though - probably a good thing.

 

[pm2006]

I never sang in public, but I love to sing and slowly, over the past two years or so, couldn't do it at all...my throat would just close up tight as a clam.

Since quitting smoking two plus months ago, I've found I can actually sing again...almost, anyway, lol. It's like being reborn... or at least going backwards in time. Isn't it great?

Me, too. It is slowly coming back, though. Woohoo. Shower singing here I come.

 

[Haytoni]

Since I started vaping 2 months ago I've completely quit smoking. And since then it's like I'm going through puberty again with my voice cracking and changing back to normal. Anyone else have this happen or something similar?

I sound less manly now but it's totally worth it lol.

Almost at 6months here, and yes I have notice my voice change, amazing ..

 

[Dmass]

Haven't noticed my voice changing, but I am loosing that wheezing smokers laugh.

LOL! Yeah, radio is a lot of fun. More fun than TV, in my opinion. And I was on TV for 10 years...and often wishing I was back in an air-chair (the chair a DJ sits in when he or she is on the air).

 

[SirVette]

What was that Miss?

lol

Aren't you using the AC (& 36), did you see this?

lmao!! I called my mother in law a few weeks ago and left her a message. She deleted it thinking it was a telemarketer not recognizing my voice...lol... or so she says anyway!!hahaha

I noticed a slight change, but attribute it to smoking analogs for 20+ years, then switching to an e-cig. I'm thinking that this is what I was supposed to sound like all along, lol. Regardless, I feel so much better without all the nasties of analogs. For the first time since I was a teenager, I'm able to hold a breath longer than about 20 seconds.

Omg I couldn't even hold a breath for 10 seconds when I was smoking. Now I'm good for about 45! Still wouldn't survive in a sinking car.

 

[MacArthurBug]

I noticed my ability to hold a note has improved as has my range. I think the sound of my laugh has changed.. oddly enough.

 

[the_antisheep]

I'll be on the lookout for a vocal change... Does this mean I'm going to sound like a 10 year old girl now? Am I going to be able to sing on American Idol too?

Actually, my range sucked before, and it still sucks now. I don't notice any change in my voice...

I don't cough when I laugh anymore though.

 

[iamjn]

Darn y'all. I hadn't really been paying attention to it until this thread. Now I'm just paranoid.

What about your voice cracking, anyone else? My allergies are terrible this year, so I've been just attributing it to that, but don't know for sure.

My voice has stopped cracking as much as it was. Thank god. Gf was making fun of me. I don't think vaping has changed it for the worse I mean it's obviously just going back to normal. So yeah.

The key to that scenario is LEAVING the car.

Yes but in a dire situation where the water is already up to the window (you'd be incredibly surprised at how FAST cars sink), the panicing human brain does not respond as fast as the car is sinking, not to mention your breathing and heart rate speeds up making it harder to hold your breath as long. And you'd literally have to wait until the inside of the car was completely full of water and THEN either open the door or roll down the window and swim up. Which takes about 35 seconds from the time of your last breath until the time the inside is completely filled with water. And only then is the pressure equalized.

But they do have those little ice pick looking things in emergency kits that work really well, I just doubt many people have one.

/end rant
Lol

 

[Israfil]

Are you really saying you wouldn't just take a breath, break the window, and swim to safety? ^_^ Sure its easier to wait till the car fills entirely then open the door at equal pressure, but in a life or death situation methinks the old standby of "wrap the shirt around the hand, put the hand through the window" would work well enough.
