Ok - I was just wondering if anyone else experiences this.
I noticed that I have often trouble swallowing properly - Meaning I get it "in the wrong tube" a lot, it seems to get easier in the upper part of my larynx and then I cough a little bit. It happens all the time , so I think it is not totally normal. I was reminded of it when I read that this would be something happening if one gets botox injections for VFS.
So my theory is that since I am doing voice modification by training and am doing so for many years now, I most likely did what all voice theory says and moved up my larynx to shorten the resonance pathway and make it sound more female. Is it possible that due to this elevated positionj, which is subconsious now, I have moved it close enough to the upper throat so that it is getting a bit in conflict with the swallowing?
Did anyone else experience this after voice training? Maybe it has any other reason and I am just thinking wrong here :P - and besides there is not much that can be done about this anyways I think, I was just wondering...

Now that you mention it, yes, this seems to happen more often.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

YES! I was even thinking about asking the doctor next time I see him!

I never even correlated it to my change in voice....you bring up some good points. Thank you for posting this.

This is really bothersome at times...gummy fruit snacks are the worst...its almost as if I just swallowed them whole.
