Abstract
Singing teachers should be familiar with the value of consultation with an expert laryngologist not only during illnesses and crises, but also prior to training, for evaluation, establishing an individual's "normal" baseline, and for education and advice reguarding preventive voice care. The sudden onset of hoarseness during or immediately after intense vocal use implies injury to the vocal fold, which may be in the form of hemorrhage, tear, or edema. External trauma to the neck can result in injury to the larynx and requires urgent evaluation by a doctor. Hoarseness after a surgcial procedure not performed on the larynx can be caused by an endotracheal tube or injury to the recurrent or superior laryngeal nerves.
