057 Vocal Health & Voice Training Chat with Dane Chalfin - Part 2

Today, continuing with our celebration week, we go through the second part of my interview with Dane Chalfin. In this part, Dane answers the previous episode's cliffhanger - are straws a good tool for warmups? He also shares his thoughts on post-pregnancy voice training, stuffed up nose and how to deal with voice ageing.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: - Dane’s take on the use of straws for warmups and in voice therapy - The dependency straws can cause and why it is so easy to get things wrong with them - The benefits of using steam and how we can benefit from breathing through our mouth and nose simultaneously - Why the voice tends to change after pregnancy and how to deal with it Throughout this interview, we also dive into a fun and informative myth-busting quickfire, where I bombard Dane with some internet-based knowledge about voice fatigue, the use of nebulisers, throat coat tea, and much more.  Resources: - Register for Vocal Empowerment Course https://nicolaredman.com/voice-coach/vocal-empowerment-programme/ - Dane Chalfin website https://www.vocalrehabilitation.com - Join the Voice & Accent Hub https://www.facebook.com/groups/thevoiceandaccenthub
