Even having destroyed my voice, and everything else, I would still just say, don’t half-ass it. I would just say go for it. Learn everything you can about vocal care, but most of all just do something creative. If it hurts you, fine. If you have to do something that damages you to be able to make something meaningful or honest, to have the opportunity to physically push up against your limitations, that’s an honor. Most people don’t ever get as far as their physical limitations. Most people are limited by other things a long time before they get there. That’s not very good advice. Greg Bennick of course would say the opposite thing. He’d say it’s important to conserve, blah blah blah. I just don’t want to die with everything I have intact, with my hearing, my voice, everything still there because I never used it.
