I lost my voice for the first time. I was so bummed out, but it happens to every singer at some point in their career. I don't think most people understand, but I sing every night and sometimes we do five shows in a row, which is really bad for your voice.

I knew that I had to find my own voice, both figuratively and literally.

It was hard for me to find my voice because I was, for so long, absorbed in my own world.

I'm terrified of losing my voice.

It was early detection that saved my voice - and I imagine, my life.

My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.

The amazing thing now is that most of those so-called critics who were telling me to find my own voice seem to have lost theirs.

You know, your speaking voice comes back, but your singing voice you use in a different way.

If you can sing, you never lose your voice. If you don't know how to sing, your voice goes away because you sing from your throat.
