I rarely get sick, but am pretty sure I got covid a month ago. Basically 2 weeks of sick, nothing huge but at one point basically had no voice. Now its a month later and I still have lost like half my singing range. My voice just cracks out if I try.

Hope its temporary but I dont know. Anyone else get this?

Oof. Worst time of the year to lose half your singing range if you’re a choral singer. Unless you want to get out of all the holiday concerts. 😂

Seriously though, I’m sorry to hear that. The first time I had COVID it did a number on my voice. I’m not convinced I’ve ever completely recovered, because singing isn’t as easy as I remember it being. I require more breath support than I used to, and sometimes struggle to maintain intonation on surprising notes. Like, not low or high in my range, notes that should be easy.

But it’s better now than it was right after COVID. Much better. I hope yours improves!
