Hi everyone... I read somewhere the other day that some people can ONLY do the whistle voice when their cords have nodules and stuff.... It has come to my attention that I can only do whistle tones when my cords are swollen (ie. waking up after a conecert)...

Do you know how much truth is there in that statement that I read? and if it is true, even if I don't have nodules, can it be my case??

PS: I just noticed it, it's not that I go and sing with swollen chords

That is a completely false statament. However, when the cords are swollen, one will find that tyhey can achieve super high whistle notes, simple because the glottis can close up easier due to the swelling.

THX for the quick response man :D.... I really appreciate it, haha I was freaking out... yeah what you say really does make a lot more sense than what i had read...

I wish you the best with your current projects! and hey whenever you can, keep us up to date :)

It's definitely easier when your chords are swollen. I reached my highest note, A6, when I had a cold and had been coughing alot.

Ive found out my whistle when my chords where realy swollen, it becomes easyer to get into the register for me.
and particulary the higher notes comes more easy when your chords are swollen.BUt if you practice carefully when it comes easy for you as in the mornings after a warmup you will build strenght in that register.
And be able to use it more often, The artist you hear on the radio has practiced their whistlevoices for very long several years, so you realy cant expect it to come all at once.
