You could be any form of writers in the world today, a
content writer, an article journalist, a ghost writer, a creative writer, an
investigative writer, a freelance writer, a copy writer a script writer. However,
one thing unites these set of writers together and that is their command of English
language. As a writer myself i understand that my use of English should be good
or rather outstanding- if possible- to be ever be considered a good writer. Command
of English itself can never be separated from a foundation of English known as English
grammar. So a constant work out is a must to keep our writing edges sharp and
writing-efficient all times. However after days of working out on our English
grammar, I believe it is of importance to test ourselves to be sure our learning
therapy works. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Musical muse tutorial entry; 10 tips to help maintain your voice

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Some people spend hours at the gym or<br />
pounding the pavement to keep their bodies in<br />
shape. But beyond singers and actors, who<br />
worries much about their voices?<br />
You should, say Norman Hogikyan and<br />
colleagues at the University of Michigan<br />
Health System.<br />
"Your voice is your ambassador to the outside<br />
world," Hogikyan contends. "It portrays your<br />
personality and emotions. People make<br />
assessments about you based on your voice,<br />
so it is very important when you're speaking or<br />
singing to think about what people are really<br />
hearing. Problems with your voice also can<br />
have a tremendous impact on your life."<br />
According to the American<br />
Academy of Otolaryngology.<br />
Hogikyan and colleagues have put together<br />
the following 10 tips to help keep your voice in<br />
shape:<br />
1. Drink water to keep your body well<br />
hydrated, and avoid alcohol and caffeine. Your<br />
vocal cords vibrate very fast, and having a<br />
proper water balance helps keep them<br />
lubricated. Important note: Foods containing<br />
large amounts of water are excellent<br />
hydration-conscious snacks, including apples,<br />
pears, watermelon, peaches, melons, grapes,<br />
plums, bell peppers and applesauce.<br />
2. Allow yourself several "vocal naps" every<br />
day, especially during periods of extended use.<br />
For instance, teachers should avoid speaking<br />
during the breaks between classes and find<br />
quiet ways to spend the lunch hour rather than<br />
talking in a noisy staff room with colleagues.<br />
3. Don't smoke, or if you already do, quit.<br />
Smoking raises the risk of throat cancer<br />
tremendously, and inhaling smoke (even<br />
secondhand smoke) can irritate the vocal<br />
cords.<br />
4. Don't abuse or misuse your voice. Avoid<br />
yelling or screaming, and try not to talk loudly<br />
in noisy areas. If your throat feels dry or tired,<br />
or your voice is getting hoarse, reduce your<br />
voice use. The hoarseness is a warning sign<br />
that your vocal cords are irritated.<br />
5. Keep your throat and neck muscles relaxed<br />
even when singing high notes and low notes.<br />
Some singers tilt their heads up when singing<br />
high notes and down when singing low notes.<br />
"The high notes are on the ceiling and the low<br />
notes are on the floor," Rosenberg says. "Over<br />
time, you'll pay for that"—not just with strained<br />
vocal muscles but also by causing future limits<br />
on the vocal range.<br />
6. Pay attention to how you speak every day.<br />
Even performers who have good singing habits<br />
can cause damage when they speak. Many<br />
skilled singers don't continue their healthy<br />
habits when they speak; indeed, says Herseth,<br />
"many people—including singers—should have<br />
much more breath flow when they speak."<br />
7. Don't clear your throat too often. When you<br />
clear your throat, it's like slamming your vocal<br />
cords together. Doing it too much can injure<br />
them and make you hoarse. Try a sip of water<br />
or swallow to quench the urge to clear. If you<br />
feel like you have to clear your throat a lot, get<br />
checked by a doctor for such things as acid<br />
reflux disease, or allergy and sinus conditions.<br />
8. When you're sick, spare your voice. Don't<br />
talk when you're hoarse due to a cold or<br />
infection. Listen to what your voice is telling<br />
you.<br />
9. When you have to speak publicly, to large<br />
groups or outdoors, think about using<br />
amplification to avoid straining your voice.<br />
10. Humidify your home and work areas.<br />
Remember, moist is good for the voice.<br />
Further, warming up the voice is not just for<br />
singers, the researchers say. Think of it like<br />
stretching and loosening up before exercise.<br />
Easy, daily warm-ups for your voice:<br />
1. Do lip or tongue trills in the morning (try it in<br />
the shower or on your drive to work) to<br />
facilitate better use of airflow and breath.<br />
2. Perform gentle humming and cooing to<br />
warm up your voice in the morning.<br />
3. If you do more vocally complex warm-ups<br />
too, such as vocal scales, do the simple<br />
warm-ups first.<br />
4. Repeat these exercises throughout the day<br />
to reduce muscular tension in the neck,<br />
shoulders and jaw.<br />
5. At the end of the day, perform a cool-down<br />
of the voice with similar vocal tasks.<br />
