- Hoarseness Prevention & Treatment Tips
Hoarseness is a general term which describes abnormal voice changes. When hoarse, the voice may sound breathy,
raspy, strained, or there may be changes in volume (loudness) or pitch (how high or low the voice is) . The changes in
sound are usually due to disorders related to the vocal folds which are the sound producing parts of the voice box

What is a "problem voice?"
Voice is a problem when the pitch, loudness, or quality calls attention to itself
rather than to what the speaker is saying. It is also a problem if the speaker
experiences pain or discomfort when speaking or singing.
