What are singers nodes?
Singer’s nodes are called vocal nodules and they are small calluses of the vocal cords. They occur in both boys and girls and predominately in women. Nodules come from abuse to the vocal cords associated with yelling, screaming or an unnatural pitch or singing style. Vocal nodules are frequently found in cheerleaders, aerobic instructors, and rarely in librarians! Vocal nodules can be treated quite easily and successfully with voice therapy (see question 4). This condition rarely requires surgery!
