    I have a humidifier but I haven’t been using it. I’m going to have to stop neglecting it.

    I’ve been looking up ways to coat your throat naturally as well during my daily reading practice.
    Slippery elm lozenges are supposed to work well for coating the throat and doesn’t dry your throat out even more like menthol does.

    Thanks again, Javier!

    Thanks guys!

    I’m definitely going to incorporate more whispering to combat the over-speaking hoarseness.

    I live in the desert and it’s very dry all year round and I’m assuming this has a lot to do with it. If it worsens I’ll do as you did Javier and get checked out by a doctor.

    It’s funny because that’s what I’ve been doing for the a couple months. I’d get anxious then practice practice practice to the point overspeaking would make my throat hurt and make me stutter more so I’d have to stop for a couple days.

    Thanks again guys.

    Javier,

    I struggle with the night time recordings as well as I’m already not a great sleeper. I will keep working on ways to make it work.

    I admire how much you’ve integrated it into your daily routine. I will have to do the same if I want to succeed. I just always kindof felt guilty multi tasking my speech practice and other things at the same time because I felt like it wasn’t getting my full attention.

    I am glad to hear it will still be effective in the long run. I am going to use your little reminder post-it idea for my environment as well.

    Thank you!!!

    Tasneem,

    Did you experience any hoarseness after reading aloud say 1-2 hours a day after a week or so? I struggle with this and it could be a personal issue. Just curious if you had that issue as well.

    Thank you for your insightful response and I enjoyed hearing your perspective!
