As a former choir kid I knew this one immediately

[greenredblue]

The question is about vocal strain, and the person posing it is Ify.

Checks out.

[caseykiesling]

I feel like all voice actors should know that and jacks been a voice actor for 97 years

Oooh! Um actually, if you NEED to vocalize while resting your sore throat, you should not whisper OR use normal voice! Instead, you should gently sing in a monotonal, monk chant like way, at your most natural note. Whatever your starting hum would be, that is the chant sound you should gently sing through. It avoids much more vocal cord movement!

But otherwise, absolutely yes to this

[yuckphooey]

Um, Actually... I'm going to need you to roll a Tough check.

When I lost my voice, I remember reading not to whisper so instead I wrote "poopy poopy poopy" in text-to-speech.

I know this is going to sound mad but i feel like ify on dropout is always straining his voice. I remember him from the achievement hunters videos and his voice sounded less raspy

[Feywildtrash]

I literally screamed the answer as soon as I heard the W, Theatre training has served me well it seems

[BlizzardofDreams]

I thought it meant “only whisper if you have to (whisper)”, not “…if you have to (talk)” and I was so goddamn confused lmao

[kassassin_brahgawk]

My drama teacher/director would SCREAM at us if we whispered around showtime lolol I love Mrs. Kaz

[MellSayzHi]

Weirdly enough I knew the answer cause Jenny Nicholson did an ASMR video and she said she hated it cause whispering would strain her voice

[lastnamefirstname]

whispering wouldn't feel like the smart thing to do, anyways, personally. it takes more effort to whisper than it does to speak at a comfortable level.

[wolfofsummerbreeze]

Today I learned that I whisper 'wrong'! I don't actually use my vocal chords at all, just a lot of breath and annunciation.

Having been sick a lot in my youth, I just... Stopped using vocal chords for that because it hurt.

[lampshade]

Whispering is actually wose for your voice than regular speaking, since you have to strain your vocal cords more to make a sound.

[ziggiethegreat]

gargling salt water actually made me lose more of my voice, so...

[mohammedmahfuri]

Shocking way to find out ify been smoking 12 packs a day for the last 6 months

[NoThankUBeQuiet]

I know this is probably true but I also know when I literally cannot get words out at a normal volume and I can at a whisper I will whisper. Note I lose my voice from illness and not yelling. Though I will say I still TRY to not say anything at all but dogs don't read well.

[saturndaise]

I'm pretty sure the statement can be understood to mean that you should only whisper if you have to. So it isn't wrong at all?

If you have to whisper to diffuse a bomb, you should be whispering!

[turtlellama]

Oh, the "have to" was "have to speak, " not "have to whisper."

[jucom]

Wait that's jackfrom chris and jack, whi is also the voice actor for sokka!
