Vowels. They’re the bane of our existence.

In today’s Spasmodic Dysphonia Exercises session, we attack the vowels with a full Daily Drill built to warm up the voice, connect breath to tone, and work through the sounds that tend to fight back the hardest. You open by calling vowels “the bane of our existence,” then move into warm-ups, trigger words, hums, and sustained vowel work. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

This one starts with a quick channel update, a thank-you to new viewers and supporters, and then gets right into the work: “Me Me,” “Nim Nim,” trigger words, humming, and the five vowel sounds held out as long as the breath lasts. You explain that these exercises are not about being a master teacher, but about sharing what has helped you live a more functional life with Spasmodic Dysphonia. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
