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
Thank you!
@@lyndzienielson3161 I want to say I love you!
I can’t wait to experience the same thing with mine. I love singing
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.
Thank you so much! I believe it boosted my voice! now that it has been 6 months I can still access my "old voice", just need to push the same air I was having before. This surgery brought so much clarity to my voice! I cannot wait for you to feel the same way! don't get discouraged, just keep singing!
How long did the recovery take?
Update pls
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.
Thanks for watching!
I just had my tonsils removed. I agree with all you said. My voice is clearer and my breathing is much better
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!
We are glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)
I needed this type of video actually... Thank you so much
Glad that it helps!
I notice a huge difference, best thing you did...Beautiful sound!
Thank you!
I cant wait to talk to an ENT as a suffering singer dealing with sinus and tonsil infections
I don't know if you live in or near the Chicago area, but the Bastian Voice Institute is the best in the business. I went there in March cos I fried my voice in December. They've been treating high-grade singers from around the world for 20 years. Not only voice treatment, but a variety of disorders & diseases of the throat, air & food tubes, & sinuses. If you live far from them, they can probably recommend someone near you. Possibly someone who studied there.
Good luck!
@Kassia Amraryllis did you experience bad breath bc of you tonsil infection ?
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 got my tonsils out yesterday and it hurts so bad
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.
I have the same and it’s awful for a baritone.. :( I am considering this, too often they are inflated/irritated, it affects my sustainment…)
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✨
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
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 used to love to sing and then I had my tonsils removed the day before my sophomore year in highschool and while I was recovering my voice had changed once I could sing again and then I was bullied by other choir students and ended up dropping choir from my class load.
@@yooxldiyd that's horrifying 😩
Demi Livato lost her ability to sing, probably due to intubation. It's put between the vocal folds, which can obviously make them swollen and damage them. But if LMA is used instead of ETT, vocal folds won't be affected since LMA doesn't touch vocal chords.
It also may take some time for some singers to get back their original voice even if the surgery went as expected, but that's purely because they are just not used to the extra space inside their mouth, meaning they have to lelearn lots of stuff. But that doesn't affect the vocal chords directly. I'm getting the surgery this Friday and will meet my anesthesiologist tomorrow, I'll ask him to either use LMA or put in put in ETT VERY carefully.
@@alinspanov4226 I just had my tonsils out 6 days ago. So far so good. It will be interesting to see how the swelling settles down, but it looks like I will have a decent amount more space. As a singer, it is an adjustment, a challenge, that I am willing to accept 😅
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!
Are you a voice actor or something like that
For anyone finding this comment later and wondering, it took about a week and a half for me to feel capable of some light singing without dying, but I really recommend not overdoing it and to wait another week so as to not strain the healing wound or agitate the remaining bruises.
Also my tonsils were not that big, and so my recovery may be further along than someone experiencing more complications prior to the surgery. Take care of yourself first :)
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!! :)
How long did it take for you to get an appointment to get the surgery
What’s the update ?
@@randomuser1295 it took about two months, with all of the preliminary appointments, etc.
@@charmedw20000 everything went great!! So glad I got it done! No change to my voice at all. It was definitely painful and took about 6 weeks to recover, but better than normal now 😊
@@paul0was0here I had my surgery on October 7 and I am now completely back to normal!
Glad I found this video. Thanks for spreading positive vibes. Love from India❤
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing a little bit of your journey! :)
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.
Post-tonsillectomy is a million times better! I love your voice now!
Thank you!
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 :)
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.
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 ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! And best of luck if you do get your tonsillectomy!
As an opera singer who has been panicking about having to get my tonsils taken out for the last week, this also helped me a lot. It's nice to know that my voice will recover and probably even blossom after the surgery :)
@misssinisterseventy1553 Have you noticed any changes after the surgery? I'm getting it done this Friday
@@misssinisterseventy1553 I would love to know how the surgery/recovery went and if your voice has changed :)
I have the same conditions you’ve had before’! You clarified it for me! Love you and thank you frfr
Yeah my tonsils are getting bad I can't sing anymore i am a mouth breather now and I am snoring now. Gotta go
This is an amazing sharing! thank you for sharing your tonsillectomy journey with us :)
Glad that you enjoyed it!
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
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
good luck!
Getting mine out may 26th. Hoping for the same haha!
I get mine out Monday… Nervous of the recovery and or pain. Hoping it’s not that bad.
@@devinr3093 Good luck!
@@devinr3093 How was it, and how is the recovery process?
Secondly I write this as I’m in the waiting area to get my surgery done 😬 thank you for sharing 😇
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...
First of all you’re amazing !
Omg! I really love your voice 🥺🥺🥺
Thank you!
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.
How’s your voice now after 9 months?
@@ARC86688 still hoarse and raspy. I also have a multinodule goiter on my thyroid so maybe that's what's causing the voice change, idk?
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
You are very inspirational, thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching!
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
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.
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
how has it been since then ?
Any updates?
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
Thanks for watching!
i strain on almost every note and no exercise has every changed that... should i get my tonsils checked 😢
Great song, great singing
Wait i got tonsils removed when i was a baby maybe thats why i never improved My voice lmao
lol
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 🤞
Scale of 1-10 how much pain are you in? I’m getting surgery in December😬
@@madiridge2600 my experience will be different than yours- as my pain tolerance I pretty high. Me personally- I'd say around 3-4 the first three days. Day 4-6, it jumped up to a 5. Day 7 through 14, went down to a 1. Just take your meds that they give you and buy a lotttt of Popsicles. Applesauce helped the most for me though. Just when I started bleeding a little is when I have some Popsicles. I hope this helps and I wish you a speedy recovery! ❤
@@madiridge2600 bro how much time does it takes to recover from pain.
@@madiridge2600 can you tell me about your surgery i will have surgery after 3 days
@@pjsempel5860 can you tell me about your surgery i will have surgery after 3 days 17 April
Your voice is beautiful ❤️ wow
Your voice was awesome before don't get me wrong but after is in my opinion even better!
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.)
My left tonsil is swelling and i cant sing anymore
😓 my voice sounds awful couldnt sing in full pitch
I am so excited to have mine removed in 3 weeks. I am so sick of my throat hurting every day.
Good luck!
Wow I loved her voice after she removed Her tonsils
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'm glad this helps! Are you planning on doing the surgery?
@@LuminaryMediaOfficial Yes, this video definitely put my mind at ease.
Hey i love your content i am scared cause it will hearth what if i never be able to sing good like you again
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.
How was the tonsil removal?
@@LuminaryMediaOfficial painful. I wasn't singing until after the New Year.
@@emilyjeffords5907 are you feeling better now?
@@LuminaryMediaOfficial yes.
How did it go with the high notes
I'm having surgery in one week. How long did it take for you to sing comfortably? I'm a opera singing student
It took Lyndzie about 2-3 weeks
how did your surgery go?? x
How are you now Karmen? Was the surgery successful?
You should release a cd

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?
I would find a vocal coach to help you with that!
Try a vocal coach but seems to me you have done a lot. I would try one to be evaluated. I'm an adult and I'm 8 weeks post-op it was a brutal surgery for me. I just saw my coach and need to retrain, lost my mixed voice, I had to tonsillitis too much and a hospital abscess so that's why mine came out but now I cry thinking did I make a mistake, will I get my voice back because I can't sing still right now
Anna kendrick ❤
You sing beautiful ☺️👏
You said your tongue is too big for your mouth, and now my tongue feels really big too 🤦🏽♂️
lol
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
You dont have to take them out if they are not problematic. Trust me the recovery is hell on earth! Don't do it if you dont have to.
@@noellesutton4486 thank you
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 hope you find a solution!
A family member has a disease I'm sorry I don't know what it's called but it had nothing to do with tonsils. They can't swallow literally and are on a very special diet. I would ask an ENT who is more of a throat specialist
How many weeks or days after the tonsillectomy was it until you could sing in full voice ?
wow i will remove now my tonsil to have that beautiful voice too
Now you happy with tonsillectomy? Do you have any problems with sound or anything?
I don't know why, but I read your comment as "I will remove now my *tongue* to have that beautiful voice too"
Thankyou…Imma get mines removed….As a singer this is super important….I can sing well but I wanna be able to Sang

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 😌
hey i know this comment is older but incase u haven’t gotten them out, i definitely would. reoccurring tonsillitis shows that there is a problem, and it wasn’t just a one time thing that was able to be treated.
You should probably ask a doctor 👨⚕️
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
Did you have vocal therapy after the surgery during your recovery?
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?
She meant to say centimetres, in the end of the video.
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?
So was the pain and recovery worth it?
I got my tonsils removed at a very young age so sadly i wont ever hear my actual voice 😞
I lost half range after my tonsillectomy....i used to sing guns n roses...ac.dc....
Those bands suck think of it as a blessing sing new songs man!
@@yin8079 get lost
@@yin8079 very intelligent and useful reply. my congratulations. i wish u good health. in the brain especially.
Really enoughing voice dammmmmmmm
I want my enlarged tonsils to be removed, help me anyone please🙏
You should check out Katie Melua
I might get them removed now
Are you a singer or just learning to be singer
She is a singer
she meant 3 centimeters each
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
Thank you!
Name this song
On The Sunny Side Of The Street
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.
... jokes on u I'm already Bipolar before my tonsil removal. And we do not need all our organs lmao
Wat
Wat
Thanks so much for this. I am a singer and have the surgery coming up and this is my biggest worry
Glad that you liked it! Hope that this eases your mind :)
Depends where in your menstrual cycle you are
Its like....this is everything wrong with my voice too, my tonsillectomy is pending for about a decade now....
