  1. Follow these ways to fix your raspy or harsh voice Hoarseness is the term given to an abnormal change in your voice pitch and its quality. A hoarse voice can sound lower on the pitch and volume, ranging from a deep, harsh voice to a weak, raspy voice or uneven quality. The hoarseness can be caused by several conditions like laryngitis, which occurs when your voice becomes inflamed due to overuse or a virus. Other causes may include the development of your vocal cords, neurological conditions such as Parkinson, or physical conditions such as acid reflux or a vocal cord hemorrhage (ruptured vocal cord(s). As per the nature of the cause, the treatment of hoarseness also varies. Give your voice a rest Overusing your voice is one of the main reasons of hoarseness. Taking a break from speaking or singing can, in turn, give rest to your vocal cords thus healing your voice restoring the full power your vocal cords can generate. Don't whisper, as it also causes strain to your voice. Apart from this, if you do a lot of public speaking, always use a microphone to amplify your voice without an extra effort on your part. Warming up before giving a speech, singing, loud­volume talkative social events (such as cheering for your favorite sports team) can also be some other causes of your hoarseness. Enunciating vowel sounds on a sliding pitch scale and thrilling your lips can make your voice prepared for heavy vocal use.  Hydrate your throat, regularly Keeping your throat moist as much as possible can help alleviate and, in most cases, fix different degrees of a raspy voice. Drinking at least 6­8 glasses of water on a daily basis ensure that tissues in your throat are always hydrated. Hoarseness is more possible to occur when your throat is dry. Consuming alcohol, nicotine smoke and caffeine can also increase your hoarse voice. So when you're not using these substances, it can also help you to get rid of hoarseness. In addition, if you suffer from GERD and notice a change in your voice, eliminate or limit the amount of spicy (or any acidic) foods in order to help your get voice back. Medical or Alternative Intervention Severe cases of hoarseness caused by chronic inflammation of your throat tissues or polyps on the vocal cords/in the walls of the throat, may require medical intervention like medical surgery; but only used as a last resort. With that said, there are many other alternatives (with regards to curing vocal cord hoarseness and inflammation) that can be done non­surgically. These voice problems are best managed by professionals who know better how the voice functions. They are known as non­ surgical voice repair specialists. Alternative Voice Therapy (non­surgical voice repair) has been known as one of the best solutions for hoarseness and for those who do not want to undergo medical surgery. Depending on the cause of your voice problem, these specialists will teach you several exercises and use natural herbal remedies to fix your voice problems non­surgically.
