This man’s guidance helped me get my life and voice back. It took 3 years to be able to converse about 80% normally, and after 4-5 years, my voice is 99% normal most of the time, and 100% some times, but nobody ever knows I have SD as Tim has taught me how to overcome it. It is a long, hard, boring process. You can either spend the time it takes you to recover by doing these voice exercises, or you can spend the rest of your life struggling. The choice really is yours. I too, will post an update video. My SD diagnosis came in 2016 and you will hear the difference even from my earlier videos as I was learning to speak again. Thank you Tim, love you brother!
Thank you so much! I got SD overnight when I got highly upset at something my granddaughter wanted to do that I felt was wrong and yelled about it. I am confident that I will get the hang of this, as my voice is getting better (it's been 11 weeks)!
Thanks so much for your video. I’ve been dealing with sd for a few years and am grasping every positive therapeutic suggestion bc like you I’m determined to overcome this. I love your suggestions about forcing air flow through the alphabet and practicing. I’m going to do this. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so, so much for an update! I KNOW that I will beat this. With the Lords strength and my willingness to put in the work, I’ll beat it. While in prayer the other day, I told the Lord, I don’t have a plan b, my desire to overcome this is so much more than anything. Bless you for the encouragement. I am implementing all that you have said, as well as other things that I am learning with my own voice that helps me. 🙏
Thank you for doing this video, Sir! I've been struggling with SD for 3 years now. I cried a lot because of frustrations, I am losing confidence and can't have quality conversations with my family. It makes me really, really unhappy. I will practice my breathing from now on. Maraming Salamat! Thank you so much!
So greatful hearing your speech, It gave me new hope. I' m suffering from SD adductor type for last 3 years. I read Dr. Cooper's book, tried humming. Your words give me new inspirations. Plz give more vidos so that we can practice with hope and inspirations.
Thanks I enjoyed your video been working a lot on my sd or muscle tension problem. 18 years now. Refused Botox. I will keep on trying to read and speak with breath support thanks again
You are a godsend. I had a bad day today and wanted to despair, then your video popped up. I'm a preacher too, so my voice is everything to me. I won't give up because of you. Thank you.
Today is October 16, 2022-I found your videos on Utube, after 14 doctors, 3 ent’s and a devastating diagnosis of SD, 2 long years, 3 speech therapists and no voice improvement, desperation brought me to you. With refusal to succumb to the traditional treatments, after watching your videos, I ordered doctor Cooper’s books online, 3 in total and read two in one day and just finishing the third. With daily practice of proper breath flow, reading out load 3x a day, blowing bubbles into a water bottle, humming in my car, I am finally finding my proper vocal pitch, and I am regaining correct usage of my voice. Forcing the air out with various pitches I am improving daily. We all have learned to speak on no breath, m*sk wearing during the last two years without proper oxygen intake took me to this very dark place of speaking with no breath support. Yet, there is help. I am in this for the distance as a speaker and realtor, providing daily property tours and presentations, my voice is my everything and with this method and daily walks in nature-beach, trails, and exercise, I am here to tell you that I can speak again; the struggle is great! Yet, practice is easing my stress of speaking on the phone, in person meetings, regaining confidence, and hope and faith in God through His healing power is working. Send me a message and find me on instagram at LongIslandHomesAndEstates ; would be happy to connect with anyone needing a bit of inspiration. To the Pastor above, I thank you. God bless you, the angel sent to me from above. ❤
You gave me so much hope with your video's! Thank you very much for being here with your voice. You inspire me very much. At the moment I can speak very well when walking (then I breath more deeply then normal) and speaking on my own. But as soon as I talk to another person it gets stuck again! Very frustrating. With loved ones I now walk in circles a little bit to be able to talk, but as soon as I sit down it get's stuck again. I haven't spoken much over the last seven years. Never pick up the phone. Need to find a job, but dare not apply in person with my strangled voice. It is easy to forget to talk (practise) when on your own. So putting an alarm every hour on my phone helps, and I am amazed how time flies every time the alarm sounds (me time). You are right about lazyness we all want a miracle! Now I realize that I am the one that needs to do it. I feel I am improving step by step. 🙏🧡
You are such an inspiration!!! Thanks for the update, you sound great!! Many times I've remembered our brief communication and your encouragement / advice and been given the grit to keep trying. There is hope, and ppl like you shed glorious light at the end of a tunnel.... God is good! I'm doing much better, not perfect and I'm not where I want to be yet but I feel like I'm beginning to live again and that is a miracle in itself. No way am I going to swallow the no hope pill! I can't! I have a life to life and ppl who are depending on me!! Blessings on your life!!!!
Wow, I am so pleasantly surprised that you have returned with a new video, welcome back! Glad you are doing well. I just want you to know that you are doing something very kind and wonderful here by telling folks that it IS possible to successfully treat SD without spending money or having surgery or Botox. And I really appreciate your straightforward manner in saying that it takes time and work AND that no one should accept the doom & gloom attitudes that are so prevalent among the medical community when it comes to SD. I do hope you will consider popping in with a new video every now and again, even if it's brief, to continue to motivate and give hope to everyone with SD. Thank you, sir. :)
Thank You Sir!! 🙂 You Have Described Petfectly Not Only What I Experience But Have Also Given Me a New Solution to Resolve This Situation. I Believe It Can Be Resolved!!.. Thank You For The Blessing and Confirmation of Hope!
I am glad to see you. Lately I have been thinking about you and wondering if you were doing ok. Thanks so much for the encouragement. I am so tired of dealing with SD everyday. Have a nice day!
Great to see you again with an update. I’ve watched your videos and very encouraging and also read Dr. Coopers books. I have the AB type so my voice is very breathy. Not sure if you have any different recommendations for my type or same but much appreciate any info. Great video and positive reinforcement not to give up. If there is a way to contact you for any advice I would much appreciate it.
Mine seemed to start right after my stroke. My therapy had me blowing air through a straw in water or humming 'ahhh". But didn't make sense or help much. Your video today gave me many tools. Thank you so much.
Thanks Sir. You gave me hope that SD can be cured. I am suffering from Adductor SD for last 5 years and fed up with this condition. Please post more videos to help us.
Can you explain in detail the "hum" that you used? Ive been diagnosed with MTD but now she thinks it might be SD after voice therapy hasnt worked. Thanks

This was wonderful--thank you!!
Your videos give me so much hope! I've suffered from spasmic dysphonia for eight months now. And I will do enerything I can to cure it naturally

Have you heard about botox, maybe it'll help as it helped me
Thank you so much for sharing this. I often have to tell myself not to accept that “no hope pill”
Are you on Facebook ?
Can you explain in detail the "hum" that you used? Ive been diagnosed with MTD but now she thinks it might be SD after voice therapy hasnt worked. Thanks
I thought true SD is only helped by botox or the SLAD-R surgery? Were you checked for MTD? They are often misdiagnosed.
That’s also what all my doctors (before Dr. Morton Cooper) told me. They were wrong.
How can I get in touch with you?
Btkidwell@yahoo.com
I would like to face time with you.
Susan, I would be happy to visit with you by FaceTime. Please send me an email at btkidwell@yahoo.com and we can arrange a time. Tim
