Sing high notes. When we sing, our vocal cords vibrate.The higher the note, the faster the vibrations.Excess vibrations can irritate the vocal cords, which will no longer close completely, making the voice hoarse.
- To achieve this you must sing beyond your vocal range.
- Sing the highest note you can produce, then try to go even higher at the top of your lungs.
- Continue for a few hours.
Whispering strains the voice more than speaking normally.When we do this, we squeeze the vocal cords more tightly and tire them.
Crying for a long time strains the voice.This especially applies to babies who cry all night.The next day they often have a hoarse voice.

- Try to use the "vocal fry" technique by lowering your voice as much as possible and using very little air to push the sounds out.This should allow you to produce very low sounds and feel the vibration of the vocal cords.^{[9]

Smoking, creating nodules on your vocal cords, and developing other health problems such as colds and thyroid disease are bad for your body.Consider the consequences of your actions before trying to sound hoarse.See your doctor if you notice symptoms of these conditions.
