How can I strengthen my natural speaking voice?

Husky Speaking Voice & Smooth Singing Voice?

  • It's really interesting how some singers seem to have such a husky/raspy/hoarse voice when they simply talk, yet at the same time have such a nice, smooth, open and strong singing voice. For example Stevie Wonder, Billie Holiday, Smokey Robinson, Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey. My question is... are these people's voice like that because they partially "ruined" it with nodules that they acquired throughout their lifes - from abusing their voice (eg. maybe talking loudly/screaming, drinking, smoking, drug use)? And also, how come only their speaking voice is affected and their singing hasn't changed much at all?

  • Answer:

    Maybe their voices are just tired from the singing.. o-o

It could be the way some voices have been trained. When someone sings, the breathing and even posture are different. I know from personal experience. Right at this very second, I have a terrible sore throat. However, I am still able to sing as if it never existed. I think the same thing is applied in my case as to the husky voiced people.
