Vanderbilt Voice Clinic

so i went to the VVC today to get a 2nd opinion on a tonsilectomy and i'm going to go through with it! except, i think i'm going to cancel my appt for here and do it and vandy. they are just set up better for vocalists. like they have a speech pathologist AND a singing coach to go to for therapy after the surgery - which here has neither.  AND they work with lots of famous vocalists (ok, most are country stars, but they still use their voice for $$!) and so they understand to be very careful.

on another note, the doctor (dr. garrett) said i had a lot of tension in my muscles under my jaw and under my chin (back of tongue) and that's why i talk so low and stuff...so i might start going to the speech pathologist and getting some exercises.  but on that same note, it made me very self concious today in my singing and got me really depressed in the way i sounded. hopefully it's just because i'm tired and my voice is tired. hopefully it'll be better in a week and a half for my recital. maybe i'm not getting enough sleep. ugh i dunno! i just want my recital to be perfect! :( so much pressure!!!!!!!!
