The Secrets of Vocal Physiotherapy: A Guide To Improve Your Voice
Ever wondered why your voice gets tired in loud places, or why you wake up with mysterious headaches? The answer might be hiding in your neck.
In this eye-opening episode, Méline experiences an instant voice transformation at the hands of Ed Blake, the physiotherapist trusted by West End performers and those who rely on their voice for work. With just 30 minutes of precise muscle work, her voice drops lower, resonates deeper, and feels effortlessly powerful – like speaking through a stereo system.
Ed reveals how our modern habits – hunching over phones, clenching teeth at night, working from bed – create a cascade of tension that doesn't just affect posture. It fundamentally changes how we sound, how we're perceived, and even our confidence in social situations.
Most fascinating? The same muscle causing your headaches might be strangling your voice. And the fix is surprisingly simple.
