Professional singers and actors are at higher risks of vocal injury. Performing artists need to master their voices in a sophisticated way to meet the esthetic demands of their work. Most people may not pay much attention to their own voices, but for performing artists, any minor changes in their voice can prevent them from working and can seriously disrupt their life and career.
One common form of voice disorders are benign vocal fold lesions, such as nodules and polyps. Affected individuals may experience voice breaks and difficulty in singing high notes, for instance.
