My pauses were concise. when I finished reading the poem the last sentence I read was in a deeper tone. My pace was fairly slow and my projection was normal as I wasn't performing.

CaitlinLindsaySmith https://padlet.com/CaitlinLindsaySmith/kz8rxiaizigj/wish/229520100 Acute laryngitis
Acute laryngitis is the most common cause of hoarseness and voice loss that starts suddenly. Most cases of acute laryngitis are caused by a viral infection that leads to swelling of the vocal cords. When the vocal cords swell, they vibrate differently, leading to hoarseness.

LARYNGOPHARYNGEAL REFLUX DISEASE
Reflux of stomach juice into the throat can cause a variety of symptoms in the esophagus as well as in the throat. Hoarseness, swallowing problems, a lump in the throat sensation, or throat pain are common symptoms of stomach acid irritation of the throat.

BENIGN VOCAL CORD LESIONS
Benign non-cancerous growths on the vocal cords are most often caused by voice misuse or overuse, which causes trauma to the vocal cords. These lesions on the vocal cord alter vocal cord vibration and lead to hoarseness. The most common vocal cord lesions are nodules, polyps, and cysts]]> 2018-02-08 12:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/CaitlinLindsaySmith/kz8rxiaizigj/wish/229520100 Food Diary CaitlinLindsaySmith https://padlet.com/CaitlinLindsaySmith/kz8rxiaizigj/wish/232918182 Monday - Half a pint of water
