Thank you for the link. I'm curious to hear what some
of the people with greater medical and vocal technique
knowledge have to say about it though, since some of
it seems to be a bit extreme. I'm particularly
curious about the following advice:

1) do not cough -- that's hardly voluntary, but maybe
it's meant to avoid excessive coughing
2) do not sing outdoors -- I'm assuming this is mainly
a concern about singing in the cold and/or for allergy
sufferers
3) do not go to loud pubs and bars -- what does that
have to do with the voice? It's risky for your
hearing though
4) do not talk on a bus or airplane
5) do not try to be heard in noisy places (e.g., bar,
airplane, family gatherings) -- even if the voice is
properly supported?
6) do not cry -- I fail to see a connection to the
voice unless the concern is an overall tightness in
the throat

Thanks for the insights!
