Yeson Post-Op Satisfaction

[anjaq]

When doing speech therapy, I can make my voice sound too high now, so what I actually do is now bring it down slightly.

Oh ok - I dont quite understand - your natural relaxed voice is too high and you have to actually lower it deliberately now? Or is the additional pitch increase coming from something you do in voice therapy?
Its interesting because I never know where one would have to add the 75 Hz increase - to the untrained original pitch or the trained but relaxed pre op pitch. In my case the original pitch is 110 Hz, the pitch I have now in a mostly relaxed speaking mode is more like 140 Hz - in case of a surgery, would by regular speaking voice then be at 180 or at 210 Hz. In the latter case I would probably also rather lower it a bit

[quteo]I also find I have a lot more control in my voice now, I can lower and higher tones much more easily and generally my voice sounds clearer than before.[/quote]
That sounds fab - this is something I really am not so good at - going up and down again in pitch - I tend to stick to a small pitch range because it takes conscious effort to go up.

Give it time, it can take a year to get things to settle and don't forget to keep practising.

Yes, I think thats good advice for everyone here who did this already.

Thanks

Hiya

I find if I try too hard to raise my voice it can go way too high now post surgery sound too high. I couldn't do that before so I tend to speak a lot more naturally now but use speech therapy not necessarily for pitch reasons now but more for the way words are pronounced i.e adding length to sentences, like oh reallllyyyy, that's greattt, how are youuuuuuu. Just doing this makes a huge difference also I find.
