The lungs are the activator that supplies air with breathing for the vocal cords to vibrate. He has excellent command of vocal cord movements and is flexible for speaking and singing. And the resonator that includes the pharynx, oral and nasal cavities gives the tone and style to the voice (Benninger & Abitbal, 2006). And these can be treated through voice healing strategies.

And many of them are forced to interrupt a tour to rest or undergo voice surgery due to many problems such as stress, smoking, excessive use of voice and noisy environments, etc. For example, Adele, a British singer, canceled her tours and underwent laser vocal cord surgery due to the great pressure of touring. This took a long time to fully recover and it is not possible to return to work in a short period. Another singer John Mayer had to undergo surgery due to a granuloma created by irritation of the vocal cords and stopped work on the album until his voice also recovered (Hatschek, 2012).
