My Voice After Tonsillectomy | My Singing Before & After 

I had my tonsils removed and the recovery was hard but my voice blossomed just like yours ... I’m so glad you are still singing .. Stay beautiful

I hear more clarity and ease on the top notes. I overall believe your tone and voice became freer, and more resonant. I am supposed to have my tonsils removed this fall. I’m scared. I’m a singer also. Keep singing!!! Your voice sounds young, and clear, and connected.

I just had my tonsils removed. I agree with all you said. My voice is clearer and my breathing is much better

I noticed the difference right away you suffered all those years with your singing primarily because of enlarged tonsils. That's good you posted this story.

Thank you, thank you for posting this. As a lifelong singer with over-large tonsils for nearly a decade, this has been really eye opening (and I should have done this way sooner!!!). Thank you!

I cant wait to talk to an ENT as a suffering singer dealing with sinus and tonsil infections

I have enlarged tonsils. Actually so large that I'm constantly trying to swallow my uvula. I notice that my voice sounds stuffy like I have something in the back of my throat all the time.

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing a little bit of your journey! :)

Oh wow! You sound amazing after I can you hear your voice clearer. I have always been scared to take mines out. Thank you, thank you so much!

Your voice became sweeter and easy to reach the top. And when you sang the part "I'm not afraid" that really encouraged me a lot because I also have tonsils and it really hurts trought while singing but I'm not giving up my dream. I still sing and I'll oporation my tonsil very soon but I got stuck in corona virus. Wish you all the best and you also wish me the best for my aim.❤❤❤

I needed this type of video actually... Thank you so much

I have the same conditions you’ve had before’! You clarified it for me! Love you and thank you frfr

I notice a huge difference, best thing you did...Beautiful sound!

This is an amazing sharing! thank you for sharing your tonsillectomy journey with us :)

Glad I found this video. Thanks for spreading positive vibes. Love from India❤

I got diagnosed with Tonsillitis at the age ,10 or 12 and was recommended pills over surgery,for risk of bleeding out.but now I'm 22 and researching on it again ,to know more of my options . Thank you for sharing I RELATE with the Over Sleeping diagnosis. Thank you for this content 💕✨.Ps you got a Beautiful Voice✨

Secondly I write this as I’m in the waiting area to get my surgery done 😬 thank you for sharing 😇

First of all you’re amazing !

You are very inspirational, thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for sharing your experience I've always had problems with my voice, (VERY covered-tone voice.) I've gone to speech therapy sessions, off and on, from grade school and Jr. High, mostly. I picked the sessions back up my first year in college, (I wanted to do more acting.) The difference when taking sessions in college, they FINALLY analyzed my voice. Long story short, it turned out I had a detached septum and enlarged adenoids. It was suggested that I have them removed. I HATE my voice-- though I'm often told, in spite it being difficult to understand what I'm enunciating at times, I have a pleasant sounding voice, (On NUMEROUS occasions, I'm asked if I'm a vocalist. YIKES!!). I've always wanted to learn how to sing. I was afraid to go through the recommended surgeries, but thanks to your video (and testimony) I think I've finally made up my mind to go through the needed procedures. Thanks, and best of luck to you and your career. You have a lovely voice..

Thanks for making this video

thank you for making this video

Omg! I really love your voice 🥺🥺🥺

I’m on day 8 rn and I don’t sing but I’m noticing some clearness and clarity in my voice as I’m getting better and a little deeper and it just feels easier to talk to be honest. Ik I’m years late lol but you sound good lol

Your voice is beautiful ❤️ wow

just got my tonsils removed 4 days ago, recovery has been pretty rough so far. I’m already noticing my airways feel much more free especially on my right side. i’m looking forward to singing again :)

Thank you for putting this up! I'm scheduled to have this surgery, but was afraid of my voice changing in a bad way. But your voice sounds great!! :)

Post-tonsillectomy is a million times better! I love your voice now!

Great song, great singing

Yeah my tonsils are getting bad I can't sing anymore i am a mouth breather now and I am snoring now. Gotta go

Your voice was awesome before don't get me wrong but after is in my opinion even better!

Your voice opened up & sounds richer & fuller now. I expected a change, but that was a big difference. Then when you explained your tongue & tonsils, I couldn't believe you could talk, much less sing! And I didn't even know tonsils got stones in them! It's like your own head & neck were trying to strangle you. I'm glad you got through it, you have a lovely voice, & you're a sweetie! When Patsy Cline was 10, she had a serious throat infection that almost killed her. She was sick for a year, even spending a few months in an iron lung. "But when I recovered, I had this big, booming voice like Kate Smith." I learned that in October 2016, as part of my massive research into Patsy Cline, after people started telling me I sound like her. At first, I didn't believe them (would you?), but one night, I sang Crazy, listened really closely, & spent three minutes scaring the crap out of myself. When I found out about her illness, I read about throat infections to see how that would change the voice. One of the infections was Tonsillitis. I saw a diagram of a throat with & w/o tonsils. The tonsils took up about 25% of the cross-sectional area of the throat. That meant that removing them increased the airflow 33%. I found that very interesting, cos in May 1973, when I was 7, I had tonsillitis, & in June, a few days after school ended, had them removed. Then I thought of Patsy. Obviously, if she had a throat infection that serious, the first thing they'd do is yank out the things that are storing the infection, where it's able to grow & get worse. One night, I did something no one could believe. The wireless mic cut out during Leavin' On Your Mind, right at the last, highest, & most heartbroken line in the chorus. So I howled past it: "I may learn to looooove aga-AIIIIIIIIIIN [smack mic] [into mic] If there's a new love in your heart..." The bar patrons were in shock. The ones who weren't looking at me said they couldn't tell the difference. Yep, turns out, I'm as loud as a pair of Yamaha 400-watt speakers turned up to 6.

I am in no way a professional (or a particularly good) singer, but I noticed that after my tonsillectomy the notes aren't as likely to just fade out it the middle. The sudden ability to sing was not one of the things I expected to gain after having my tonsils removed...

After reading all the comments, it seems like a mixed bag, some singers sound better, some singers sound worse. What a complex world we live in.

You sing beautiful ☺️👏

Hey there! My name is Tyler (or Kaos), I sing & scream for multiple bands and I’m anxious as all get out about my tonsils because I’ve been getting tonsillitis repeatedly this year. This video really gave me something to look forward to & I wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m still incredibly anxious about how getting a tonsillectomy will change my intense vocals (screams), but this made me very hopeful for the future of my singing career. Thank you ❤️

God i remember my recovery its a tough 2weeks of liquid crap no solid food i ate ice cream, yogurts and other soft foods for like 2 weeks that drove me cray cray

In my opinion, tonsil removal can drastically change a voice. Demi Lovato lost her signature tone when she got hers removed. Her voice now sounds super airy and hallow compared to her before. My voice teacher said NEVER remove your tonsils if you don't have to

I just had my tonsils removed 5 days ago. I'm 57, have had a very hoarse sounding voice for several years. I was told I had a beautiful singing voice in my teen days, but I felt that changed when the hoarseness began. But , who knows, lol this surgery could be just what I've been needing to have done for years.

I got my tonsils out yesterday and it hurts so bad

Wait i got tonsils removed when i was a baby maybe thats why i never improved My voice lmao

Hey i love your content i am scared cause it will hearth what if i never be able to sing good like you again

My insurance fully approved my tonsillectomy for this may, really nervous because of the possible pain!!! I’m really scared but going to go through with it! Hoping my voice can come back and blossom too

I'm so glad I came across this video. I've been thinking about getting my tonsils removed for quite some time but I was worried about how it might affect my voice.

I always struggle to sing especially higher notes and I struggle with sounding loud without straining. I’ve been trying to learn to sing for years. I’m wondering if getting my tonsils removed would help but I’m not one to just randomly have surgery and I don’t necessarily need it. My tonsils are kind of large though and I wonder if this is partially why I find singing so difficult to do.

I came here to see if I was the only one that had my voice affected by getting my tonsils removed I was about 6 when it happened and ever since then my voice has been high af and its annoying because I'm 16

My tonsils are HUGE and get infected often. I feel literally *choked* when singing, and I cannot scream. My breath support is impaired and I have to wear a cpap machine because of my enlarged tonsils and the size of my tongue. (It's too big/thick.)

Thanks for posting this. I’m 48 and make a living with my voice, and was a tad bit concerned, about what to expect. I’m one week out from surgery. How long till you started feeling back to normal? Thank you again. -- and what a wonderful voice!

I am so excited to have mine removed in 3 weeks. I am so sick of my throat hurting every day.

I wanna get my adenoids removed I always have phlegm and its a pain. I do wonder tho, tonsils and adenoids are part of ur immune system defense and removing them just leaves u a lil less defense capable. If either is swollen often then its reacting to something and tryna stop it, once removed that something has more leeway. But id really like to not have phlegm all the time

my singing voice got worse after tonsil removal, it crackles so much now like it can't hold steady and smooth anymore it's been 4months since surgery im so sad this happened to me

My left tonsil is swelling and i cant sing anymore 😓 my voice sounds awful couldnt sing in full pitch

Its like....this is everything wrong with my voice too, my tonsillectomy is pending for about a decade now....

Anna kendrick ❤

I'm 15 and kinda scared of removing my tonsils, but every day it gets harder to sing higher ranges like I really want to, I have really large tonsils. Would this help with that?

I just had the surgery today. I told the Dr that my tonsils were affecting my voice. He said they were too big and said that removing them can help a lot. Fingers crossed 🤞

Really enoughing voice dammmmmmmm

How many weeks or days after the tonsillectomy was it until you could sing in full voice ?

i strain on almost every note and no exercise has every changed that... should i get my tonsils checked 😢

Can anyone help with my quesrion. Im an adult and it was brutal they warned me, day post op 15 i went unconscious. Im at 8 months post-op and after spending 7 months professionally training, i saw my coach and now i have to retrain but i no longer have my mixed voice. Did i lose my dream and passion? I was in pop prior so lady gaga, alicia keys, ariana grande etc and now i cant. I can breathe so much better but i feel ridges and weird feeling tissue in the back. I also drink 90 ounces of water a day as my throat is so dry my surgeon said maybe its a complication from surgery not sure. Please tell me it gets better?

So was the pain and recovery worth it?

Wow I loved her voice after she removed Her tonsils

Did you have vocal therapy after the surgery during your recovery?

Thankyou…Imma get mines removed….As a singer this is super important….I can sing well but I wanna be able to Sang

My voice was deep before and after my tonsils was remove my voice got a little high

Hello would you please tell me the name of your doctor . I'm afraid to lose my vouce i dont know any good doctor for this type of surgery for sole one who's voice is his the key of his job

would you say your tessitura changed?

I had tonsils when I was 9 not a stone tho but I recovered but it's my voice kinda weird ever since

Thank you for this. My throat keeps swelling up when I eat and it may be my tonsils. Doctors keep brushing it off as acid reflux but that’s an excuse at this point. They won’t listen to me. I can’t sing anymore or eat because it’s become such a problem. I’m terrified of getting my tonsils or adenoids removed if that ends up happening. I’m down to a broth and water diet at this point because that’s all I can get to go down 😢

I got my tonsils removed at a very young age so sadly i wont ever hear my actual voice 😞

You should release a cd

I'm not a professional singer. I mainly sing in church, but I'm scheduled to have my lingual tonsils removed on December 2, 2021. Fingers crossed I can hit those high notes again.

She meant to say centimetres, in the end of the video.

wow i will remove now my tonsil to have that beautiful voice too

I keep having tonsil stones even after removing them and it is badly affecting my singing voice. Whenever the tonsil stones reappear, I lose resonance and sometimes hurts my throat. Would u recommend tonsil removal in this situation? I just really love singing and want go sing freely all the time 😌

Hi! I'm a singer too..do you recommend surgery? I feel that my tonsils & adenoids take a lot of space in my throat that don't allow me to do right impostations

I had my tonsils removed and now I can't hit notes any more 😞 my voice is now raspy and I can't hold a note. I started back singing in my church choir about a yr ago and I have been trying to learn and train my voice to no success😞😞 gettingng really discouraged... Any help?

You said your tongue is too big for your mouth, and now my tongue feels really big too 🤦🏽‍♂️

she meant 3 centimeters each

You should check out Katie Melua

I'm having surgery in one week. How long did it take for you to sing comfortably? I'm a opera singing student

I might get them removed now

0:50 2:18

I lost half range after my tonsillectomy....i used to sing guns n roses...ac.dc....

Are you a singer or just learning to be singer

I can't wait to get mine removed So I could sing better

I hear a more powerful voice. You was struggling to get the the top notes before bless you x

Wat

Name this song

I had my tonscillectomy as a child and now I suffer like many other with IBS chronic fatigue depression. We require all our organs. Latest research suggest about 40 percent people with serious psychiatric illness like bipolar has tonscilectomy. It's just matter of time around 4 to 5 years if you are an adult and if you had it at 5 years of age then by 19 you will have bipolar. Welcome to maddness of modern science.

Thanks so much for this. I am a singer and have the surgery coming up and this is my biggest worry

Depends where in your menstrual cycle you are

Thanks for making this video
