I have always been poor. I do hope the exercises give you back an acceptable singing voice. If not, lip syncing works well. <br />Walter continues to shine.

My singing leaves a lot to be desired, and our worship band is LOUD so I can sing along quietly. Your therapy sounds like it will have excellent results.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-70524367213324692962013-10-26T13:12:23.906-05:002013-10-26T13:12:23.906-05:00I have never heard of this, I am sorry.

Well, it has not changed your hearing, and you are well otherwise. I hope these exercises will help. Walter made a wise decision! I love singing out really loud in church, and I think now that you know about it and are working on it, it will come back, like so much else has come back for you.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-25583343278560737172013-10-26T12:41:39.533-05:002013-10-26T12:41:39.533-05:00this is sad, but your stroke did not harm you humo...this is sad, but your stroke did not harm you humor at all. i laughed long and loud at the closing paragraph..love they neighbor is hilarious.. maybe the breathing will help you with the singing. hope so.. you can always get a little recording of Happy birthday and play it for them.

Incidentally, because of breathing problems and hypertension, I sit in church and that enables me to sing a little - but very softly.
