People like to listen to fresh sounding voices and I was interviewed for an article by Frances Childs for the Dail Mail about keeping our voices young.  It’s true that facial yoga can keep your skin and muscles younger looking and that yoga, Pilates and body sculpt exercises can keep your body in a more youthful shape.  But what about your voice?  Hollywood stars used to have vocal cord ‘procedures’ to keep them sounding younger and even now you can have operations to alter the pitch of your voice.  But why take the risk? – especially when we can care for the larynx naturally.  With daily or thrice weekly voice exercises you can keep your voice lubricated and fresh though menopause and beyond. Keep in touch and informed abut when I’ll be showing really simple voice and speech exercises though our www.maxyourvoice.com website.  Send us your info from our contact page
